Anything is possible in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, even seeing the entire cast turn into puppets for one episode. As the Paramount Plus show's creators have revealed, this special season 4 episode took half a year to create, and we know it will be worth every second.
"I wanna say there was easily more than six months of work on it," co-showrunner Henry Alonso Myers revealed during an interview with Entertainment Weekly, following the episode's announcement at the San Diego Comic-Con 2025. "Alongside all the other prep meetings for every episode, there was always a separate puppet meeting," added his creative partner, Akiva Goldsman.
