Star Trek musical parodies have been a long-standing tradition since the Shatner days. However, an official Star Trek musical has never been released – until now. Paramount has announced that the second season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds will feature the first-ever Star Trek musical episode called “Subspace Rhapsody.” This exciting episode will be the ninth episode of the season and will premiere on Paramount Plus on August 3rd at 7PM ET.
The announcement was made during the Star Trek Universe panel at San Diego Comic-Con, accompanied by a video that showcased ten new songs composed by Kay Hanley and Tom Polce of the rock band Letters to Cleo. The video can be viewed below.
Strange New Worlds has received positive reviews from both critics and audiences alike since its debut, thanks in large part to its talented cast led by Anson Mount, Rebecca Romjin, and Ethan Peck. It brought a lighter touch to the Star Trek universe following darker shows like Picard. Additionally, the show surprised fans by releasing its Lower Decks crossover episode earlier than expected, which is now available for streaming.
While musical TV episodes are not uncommon, with notable examples from shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Scrubs, and Xena, Warrior Princess, Subspace Rhapsody stands out by integrating the musical elements into the plot. The characters’ inner theater kids are unleashed by some plot events, resulting in a full-blown musical staged and performed within the Star Trek universe. The trailer and retro-style poster promise a delightful and humorous experience.
In conclusion, Star Trek fans can look forward to an exciting and unique musical episode in the upcoming season of Strange New Worlds.
