Star Trek: Strange New Worlds S1-2

The first two seasons of Emmy-nominated series Star Trek: Strange New Worlds are set to dock on Showmax this month, boasting a Rotten Tomatoes critics’ rating of 98% – the highest in the franchise.

A prequel to Star Trek: The Original Series, Strange New Worlds follows Star Trek: Discovery fan-favourites Captain Christopher Pike (Anson Mount), Science Officer Spock (Ethan Peck), and Number One (Rebecca Romijn) as they explore new worlds around the galaxy aboard the USS Enterprise.

Salon.com says, “Pike is the Starship captain Trekkies have been missing, and Strange New Worlds is a welcome return to the Star Trek they know and love,” while Rotten Tomatoes praises the series for “recapturing the sense of boundless discovery that defined the franchise’s roots.”

The show was nominated for Best Drama Series at this year’s Critics Choice Awards, where Celia Rose Gooding was up for Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series as Nyota Uhura. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds has also been nominated five times at the Critics Choice Super Awards, including for the 2024 awards for Best Science Fiction/Fantasy Series, as well as Best Actor (Mount) and Actress (Gooding).
