We get only a brief sample of a single song that the Enterprise crew will be singing, but several different numbers can be gleaned from the trailer. It looks like they’ll be group performances on the Enterprise Bridge and bar. The former is led by Captain Pike (Anson Mount) and the latter by Nurse Chapel (Jess Bush), who table dances and crowd surfs.

Paul Wesley will also again guest star as future-Captain James T. Kirk; he’s shown slow dancing with Una (Rebecca Romijn) as the Red Shirts perform around them. La’an (Christina Chong) is still in love with Kirk after their time-traveling in “Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow,” but only she remembers this trip. There’s a shot of her singing alone in her quarters, perhaps a ballad about her feelings for Kirk? Chong has a second career as a singer, so giving her a solo makes sense.

However, it seems that “Subspace Rhapsody” might be foremost an Uhura (Celia Rose Gooding) episode. She has all the narration in the trailer (“People celebrate with the song” and “Do you know the odds of all of us being here at this time?”), and it seems she gets a solo in the Enterprise engine room too. Music is a form of communication, so focusing on Uhura would make sense. It doesn’t hurt that Gooding is a Broadway veteran, either.

“Strange New Worlds” is unafraid to be goofy: see “Charades,” where Spock (Ethan Peck) temporarily became fully human. Now, the series goes further than ever, joining “Buffy The Vampire Slayer,” “Batman: The Brave and the Bold,” and other musical episodes in television history.

“Star Trek: Strange New Worlds” is streaming on Paramount+. “Subspace Rhapsody” premieres on August 3, 2023.
