How to watch Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 2: live stream episode 3 from anywhere

Watch Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 2

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 2 streams on Paramount Plus in the US, the UK, and Australia. Canadian viewers will want to purchase a Crave membership to stream episodes, or they can catch them live through the linear CTV Sci-Fi channel. However, if you’re trying to access your subscription while travelling, you’ll need a VPN to watch brand-new episodes from abroad.

Captain Pike returns to marshal the crew of the USS Enterprise as they boldly chart the far reaches of the galaxy and discover weird and wonderful new civilisations. Fans will be eager to discover the fate of Number One after their dramatic arrest last season, and, like us, gleefully anticipating the show’s live-action crossover episode with Star Trek: Lowers Decks.

Part of Alex Kurtzman’s expanded Star Trek universe, Strange New Worlds reunites us with Christopher Pike (Anson Mount), Spock, and Number One a decade before Kirk’s boarded the USS Enterprise. Following their rapturously received appearances in season 2 of Discovery, they became the core trio of Strange New Worlds, whose episodic, "monster of the week" format harkened back to the OG series.

It's light on its feet and funny, which is why the Jonathan Frakes-directed crossover with animated series Lower Decks – beaming up the actors who voice Brad Boimler (Quaid) and Beckett Mariner (Tawney Newsome) into live-action on the Enterprise – could make for deliriously entertaining TV.

Strange New Worlds season 2 will pick up after the Romulans declaration of war on the Federation and Starfleet’s arrest of Una Chin-Riley/ Number One after she was discovered to be a genetically altered Illyrian. It also hints at a romance between a young Kirk (Paul Wesley) and La'an Noonien-Singh (Christina Chong), the latter a descendent of Kirk’s future nemesis – KAHN! – that could send shockwaves though the franchise.

Episode 3 (June 29) sees La'An travel back in time to twenty first century Earth to prevent an attack which will alter humanity's future history. Read below for our guide on how to watch Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 2 online from anywhere now.
