Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is dropping its third season soon, with the new series beaming down to Paramount Plus on July 17 in both the US and the UK. In the new issue of SFX magazine, which features Star Trek: Strange New Worlds on the cover and hits newsstands on Wednesday, June 18, showrunners Akiva Goldsman and Henry Alonso Myers preview the new episodes, while also talking about some of the ideas that didn't quite make the cut.
One of those would have seen Strange New Worlds linking up with a largely forgotten chapter in Trek history... "We really wanted to do a TAS [The Animated Series, made by Filmation in the '70s] episode, and for a bunch of reasons we couldn't quite get there," revealed Goldsman. Alas, it was not to be, with the showrunner adding, "We haven't done a straight animated episode and I don't think we will. Whether it would break the show or not I don't know. Probably not. It's hard to know what would break it."
