Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 4's Puppet Episode Explained

This Was Hinted At During Season 2

Pike Puppet

A puppet episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds was talked about during season 2. Following the warm reception of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' musical episode and Strange New Worlds' comedic crossover with Star Trek: Lower Decks, executive producers and co-showrunners Akiva Goldsman and Henry Alonso Myers hinted at their desire to do a puppet episode.

Puppet episodes of TV series are nothing new. Angel season 5 had a memorable episode where Angel (David Boreanaz) was turned into a puppet. Prime Video's The Boys and Gen V have also utilized several scenes involving puppets for comedic and horrific effect. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds prides itself on taking "big swings," and a puppet episode has to be the biggest swing yet (that fans now know about).

Fans paying attention to the trajectory of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, and what Akiva Goldsman and Henry Alonso Myers have hinted at, shouldn't be all that surprised that Strange New Worlds season 4 will have a puppet episode. After all, Strange New Worlds' crossover with Star Trek: Lower Decks already featured an animated Captain Pike and his USS Enterprise crew, and comedy is ingrained in the show's DNA.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds brought back Trelane from Star Trek: The Original Series, with Rhys Darby playing the cosmic trickster, and John de Lancie returning as his father, Q.

A puppet episode seems like another "big swing" that Star Trek: Strange New Worlds will pull off against all odds. Experimenting with genres is central to Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' five-year mission, and the prequel delights in pushing the boundaries of what Star Trek is capable of. A puppet episode may sound insane to some, but this has the makings of another offbeat classic outing for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.
