The trailer of a musical Star Trek episode, the first of its kind in the science fiction franchise’s 57-year history, has been dropped by Paramount+ for the second season of Strange New Worlds at San Diego Comic-Con on July 22.
The streamer also confirmed the news on Twitter, sharing the trailer of the musical episode titled Subspace Rhapsody . “Prepare for a @StarTrek episode like none other before it: "Subspace Rhapsody," a #StarTrek #StrangeNewWorlds musical!”, posted Star Trek’s official Twitter handle on the microblogging site.
In the one-minute-19-second-long trailer, the U.S.S. Enterprise gets zapped by a space anomaly, making the crew break into synchronised song-and-dance sequences.
Subspace Rhapsody will feature 10 original songs and a musical version of the main title of the series, with music and lyrics by Letters to Cleo fame Kay Hanley and Tom Polce of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.
Created by Akiva Goldsman, Alex Kurtzman and Jenny Lumet, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is the 11th Star Trek series and a spin-off from Star Trek: Discovery. It stars Anson Mount, Ethan Peck, Jess Bush, Christina Chong and Celia Rose Gooding.
