TREKMOVIE:"The second season of Strange New Worlds included a musical episode and an crossover with the Lower Decks animated series. And according to to the showrunners, they keep pushing the boundaries in season 3. Speaking to Variety, Goldsman said the show has more genres to conquer:https://ift.tt/UvEMZmk Goldsman: We have a bunch of ideas for the kinds of genres Star Trek can accommodate, and we continue to sort of try to stretch those boundaries. So, as you saw [in the SDCC clip], a lot of people become Vulcans. We are trying to, dare I say, go where we have not gone before when it comes to genre. So besides the tried and true, which is some sci fi adventure, and certainly our attempt to remember the cadence of at least regularly, there must be a moral to the story, we are spreading our wings.Romijn backed him up:Rebecca Romijn: I feel like every episode is such a surprise to us. And [the showrunners] are so good at playing with genre that we never see it coming. So we didn’t think we could outdo season 2 with some of the things that we pulled in season 2, and season 3 we’re equally proud of. And we did some things.With IGN, Myers confirmed they aren’t doing another musical (yet), but he teased they are still getting crazy:Henry Alonso Myers: I can’t promise we aren’t going to revisit [“Subspace Rhapsody”] some day, but we’re going to hold off a little bit before we come back to it. If you come back for a second episode of something, you really want to make it special and different and bigger and crazier. We’re special and different and bigger and crazier in our next season in a lot of other ways.Earlier this year Jonathan Frakes revealed he directed a “Hollywood murder mystery” for season 3. Speaking to Collider the EPs confirmed this would be the fourth episode of the season as they expanded on what to expect:Henry Alonso Myers: It’s a very unique version of Kirk, one that we have not seen on the show before. And all of our actors get to do things that we’ve never seen them do.Akiva Goldsman: It’s a Hollywood murder mystery… As always we are striving to create a different genre within ours. So there’s a reason for it. It’s not somebody having a dream… Because of that, our actors get to do things that they haven’t gotten to do previously… We do keep trying to push, because we were so delighted ourselves with the musical episode that we kind of were like, “Oh, fuck, what are we going to do now?”Henry Alonso Myers: It’s a genuine Star Trek episode. No one who knows and is familiar with Star Trek will say, “Oh, that doesn’t feel like a normal episode.” They will be like, “Oh, I get it, yep, yep, yep.” But it will surprise them.Myers also hyped it as a “spectacular episode” while Romijn revealed how she )and Frakes) felt about it:Rebecca Romijn: It was really special experience. When we wrapped that episode [Jonathan Frakes] and I were on the same flight going home that weekend, which was delayed so I got to listen to him talk about it for three hours, how it was his favorite hour of television that he’s ever directed.During the various interviews where were some teases about what to expect for some of the characters in season 3. Rebecca and Henry talked to IGN about how things are different for her character in season 3:Rebecca Romijn: She’s been shrouded in shame with the secret of being a secret Illyrian and breaking the rules of Starfleet. Now that she gets rid of that shame, it’s a lighter version of her. So you’re going to have a little more fun with her.Henry Alonso Myers: I would also say that we see a side of her that we have not seen before this season. We see a completely different side of her that Rebecca gets to play, which I am excited for people to see.During the panel it was revealed that Martin Quinn’s Scotty (introduced in the season 2 finale) has joined as a series regular. Speaking to ScreenRant, Myers talked about how this engineer is different than the Montgomery Scott we are familiar with from Star Trek: The Original Series:Henry Alonso Myers: This is a Scotty you have not seen before. He isn’t the Scotty who he becomes in The Original Series, yet. He’s younger. He’s going through a lot. He is someone to experience. It’s been really fun to bring him into the ship. It’s been really fun to see him interact with our characters and kind of learn who he is going to be, but not who he is, yet.Ethan Peck previewed how Spock and Scotty work together (via Variety):Ethan Peck: He shares a load of science jargon. So that’s very appreciated from my end. And I think there’s a lot of fun things to do between Spock and Scotty… [Martin Quinn] brings such a great energy to the castOne of the big reveals for the SDCC panel was how after being teased in season 2, the character of Dr. Roger Korby will have a recurring role in season 3, played by Irish actor Cillian O’Sullivan. TOS lore establishes how Korby will eventually become engaged to Christine Chapel, later running into some grave trouble on an alien planet. Speaking to Variety and IGN, Goldsman emphasized how on SNW, we get to see a different side to this character:Akiva Goldsman: Like so many of our characters, they have many great days before their less great days. Our take on Roger Korby is not quite what you would expect.Akiva Goldsman: What’s fun about having TOS in front of us is it allows us to do inductive storytelling. We can see where somebody ended up and then try to imagine how they got there. So all we can say is that the Roger Korby you see on Strange New Worlds is going to travel a long path before he gets to be the Roger Korby that you see The Original Series.With IGN, Myers talked a bit about the Korby/Chapel dynamic:Henry Alonso Myers: Try to imagine this from the perspective of Chapel. She’s smart, she’s talented, she probably makes smart and interesting decisions in her life. What’s the kind of person that she would be drawn to? Who would she want to learn something from?… That is something to look forward to dealing with as well.The introduction of Korby creates a bit of a love triangle situation with Spock. Ethan Peck talked to ScreenRant about how that is going to work out:Ethan Peck: It’s going be pretty interesting. And Killian O’Sullivan is terrific. He and I as actors have great chemistry. So I’m very excited for people to see that.Speaking of Spock, he is getting a cool new science lab set (with built into pool beneath the floor) for season 3. Peck didn’t have any spoilers to share about the new set when asked by Variety, but Henry teased:Henry Alonso Myers: I think it’s safe to say that you will see some things in the pool [in season 3].Earlier this year Paramount picked up the series for a fourth season, which will go intro production in early 2025. Goldsman talked to Collider about how far they are into planning:Akiva Goldsman: We’re in the [writers’] room. We’re breaking. We’re talking. We have the cards with the episodes, we know what the 10 episodes are going to be about. The network does it yet, but they will soon.They didn’t offer any details but when the group was asked if they had any dream pitches for the show, Myers revealed his dream is coming true in season 4:Henry Alonso Myers: What I really want to do I can’t talk about right now, but it will come in season 4… But there are lots of surprises in season 3 we can look forward to.This may not be related but when asked by ScreenRant about Spock’s half-brother Sybok, Akiva noted that Myers “desperately wants” to feature the character on the show, with Henry confirming, “I do want him to be in the show, very much.”If you were hoping they would expand beyond the 10-episode format, you can forget that wish. When ScreenRant noted many fans hoped for more episodes, Goldsman pointed to Paramount being the limiting factor:Akiva Goldsman: No [we aren’t doing more than 10 episodes], I mean not so far, and we tried, in fairness. We too have that sense and it is most practically represented by the number of cards that are episode cards we get at the beginning of each season. It’s sort of like a Friends analogy, “Let’s do ‘The One Where…’, Let’s do ‘The One Where…’, Let’s do ‘The One Where…’” And we always have more cards than 10 by the end. So, [Discovery] was 13 episodes and we sort of batted our eyes and said, “give us more,” and they said, “No, you can have less.” And we said, “No, ten is good.”[...]"Even more Interview-highlights in this really long article by TrekMovie:https://ift.tt/XCB03TY
