New episodes of the acclaimed sci-fi series land on JioHotstar via OTTplay Premium; Season 3 continues with high-stakes space adventures
Fans of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds in India can gear up for more interstellar drama as Season 3 of the hit science fiction series is set to premiere on JioHotstar via OTTplay Premium starting July 18, 2025. The series will launch globally on Paramount+ the same day.
The latest season continues the franchise’s commitment to episodic storytelling, each episode exploring a different sci-fi genre while staying true to the legacy of Star Trek: The Original Series.
What to Expect from Season 3
Season 3 resumes the journey of Captain Christopher Pike and the crew of the USS Enterprise in the year 2305. This time, the team embarks on even more dangerous missions across uncharted territories of space. Each episode in the season promises a fresh theme — from action-packed space battles to character-driven suspense stories.
Leading the cast are returning stars Anson Mount as Captain Pike, Ethan Peck as Spock, and Rebecca Romijn as Number One. They are joined by Martin Quinn, Babs Olusanmokun, Melissa Navia, Christina Chong, Celia Rose Gooding, and Jess Bush, with several actors reprising younger versions of characters from The Original Series — an approach designed to connect new audiences with the classic universe.
Delays and Production Timeline
Though Season 3 was officially confirmed in March 2023, early development had begun as far back as June 2022. However, the 2023 Hollywood labor strikes caused significant delays in the shooting schedule. The cast and crew finally commenced filming in December 2023, wrapping up production in May 2024 at CBS Stages Canada in Mississauga, Ontario.
Season Opener: ‘Hegemony, Part II’
The new season kicks off with “Hegemony, Part II”, which picks up from the cliffhanger ending of Season 2. The episode tackles the growing threat of the Gorn, as Captain Pike and his team attempt to rescue crewmates taken hostage. As expected from the Star Trek franchise, the season will navigate key themes such as personal growth, ethical dilemmas, and diplomatic tensions across the galaxy.
With high production values, rich storytelling, and iconic characters, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 3 promises another unforgettable chapter in the beloved sci-fi saga.
