Star Trek has always been a perennial favorite at Comic-Con International (SDCC), but this year the franchise is taking things to whole new levels. Or should we say worlds? Five of them, to be precise. To celebrate last week’s Season Three premiere of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, Star Trek will descend upon San Diego in what they’re billing as a live-performance “show stopping spectacle.” You can get a sneak-peek at what’s in store here:

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds explores the edges of genre
From the Press Release: “On Saturday, July 26, the Gaslamp Quarter will transform into a living stage, as fans journey through five immersive, “strange new worlds” inspired by this season’s genre-bending episodes: a noir murder mystery, a zombie horror, a 60s retro mission, a Vulcan wedding, and plenty of sci-fi mayhem. This bold, live performance, created by JFI Productions and their performers, is more than an exhibition, it is a chance to step into the story.”
Working in concert with JFI Productions, Paramount seeks to take fans beyond a simple exhibition and transport them directly into the stories of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds:
“This performance is a love letter to Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, a high-energy celebration that honors the heart of the series while exploring the edges of genre. Whether you’re here for the sci-fi, the drama, the adventure, or just the sheer joy of it all, there’s something in this for you.” ~ Stephanie Turek, Creative Director and Choreographer of JFI Productions
The event promises to have something for everyone, from experienced Trekkie to Academy Cadet alike. The performances will take place Saturday, July 26 at the Interactive Zone at Petco Park between 3:00 and 4:00pm and outside the Paramount+ Lodge at Happy Does (340 Fifth Ave) between 6:00 and 8:00pm.
Star Trek: Strange New Words Season Three episodes drop every Thursday on Paramount+.
