The Star Trek universe has been pushing boundaries for nearly 60 years, introducing strange new worlds, earthly utopias, and wild alien species to science fiction. And as Strange New Worlds enters its third season, the cast is fully aware how fan expectations sometimes bump up against the show’s strange, new canon. To unpack how the crew of the Enterprise is feeling about arcs of their various characters, Inverse caught up with some of the cast to get their takes on the state of the Final Frontier as Strange New Worlds Season 3 kicks things into warp drive. No spoilers ahead.
For all its capacity for novelty, it's notable that, until now, the franchise has never cast an actual Scotsman to play Scotty, one of its most iconic characters. That irony is not lost one bit on Martin Quinn, the third actor to take on the role of Montgomery Scott in the third season of Strange New Worlds.
