Strange New Worlds Teases Puppet Episode at Comic-Con

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds will feature a unique season 4 episode in which the main cast is transformed into puppets, a project that took more than six months to develop due to its complexity. The production required dedicated puppet-focused meetings and a specialized crew of puppeteers. Showrunners Akiva Goldsman and Henry Alonso Myers consulted with Jeffrey Bell, known for the puppet episode of Angel, to navigate the challenges of the genre-bending concept. Cast members have described the episode as 'insane,' 'pure joy,' and praised the script, reflecting both the challenges and excitement involved. A teaser for the episode, released at San Diego Comic-Con, offered fans their first glimpse of Puppet Pike. This episode continues the show's tradition of experimental and playful storytelling.
