Comic-Con 2025 brought the future of Star Trek right to Hall H, and now it's time to break it all down! Join Julian and Girafe for our full Star Trek Universe wrap-up show, packed with everything we saw, heard, and felt across an unforgettable weekend in San Diego.
💫From puppet captains and emotional cast reveals to brand-new trailers and behind-the-scenes quotes, we’re diving into:
🌌 Strange New Worlds Season 3 – That noir-inspired simulation episode? We’ve seen it, and we’ll tease what you can expect (spoiler-free!) from Thursday's episode. Plus: Anson Mount sends his regards in the most muppet-tastic way possible, while Paul Wesley calls his Kirk experience “the most fun I’ve ever had shooting anything.”
🎓 Starfleet Academy – The first trailer dropped and it’s giving big feelings, big stakes, and a whole new generation of cadets. Holly Hunter teases “massive intimacy,” and Kerrice Brooks had us all tearing up with her reaction: “That was FIRE 🔥.” We break the trailer down.
🖼️ The Lodge + Strange New Spectacle – We stepped inside The Lodge, an immersive activation that transported us into Starfleet’s wildest holodeck scenario and lounge. Then we took in the incredible Strange New Spectacle at the Activation Zone, showcasing a handful of different dance numbers focusing on this season of Strange New Worlds. Girafe even married Spock.
📚 IDW Comics – Big announcements from the Trek comics universe, including that mysterious Kirk cover. Just which version are we getting?
We were in the room where it happened, so let us take you there with us on this bonus edition of Strange New Pod!
