Just when you thought *Star Trek: Strange New Worlds* has done it all — a musical episode, an animated crossover, a documentary (upcoming in season 3), a murder-mystery episode (also in season 3) — the show will now delve into the puppet-verse.

An announcement video from season 4 screened during Saturday's big *Star Trek* Hall H panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2025, revealing Anson Mount's Captain Pike in Muppet form.

*Star Trek: Strange New Worlds* will feature a puppet-themed episode in its fourth and penultimate season, which recently wrapped filming. It will see members of the U.S.S. Enterprise crew, including Pike, as puppets created by Jim Henson's Creature Shop.

Jordan Canning of *Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock* directs the episode.

"Hit it!" Muppet Pike declares from his captain's chair...only no one is around to adhere to his direction. "You heard me say 'hit it,' right?" he says. "Spock? Anyone? Did you go to season 4 without me?"

Co-showrunners Akiva Goldsman and Henry Alonso Myers, and executive producer Alex Kurtzman joined cast members Rebecca Romijn (Pike's Number One), Ethan Peck (Spock), Jess Bush (Christine Chapel), Christina Chong (La'An), and Paul Wesley (Kirk) for the *Trek* panel.

The first two episodes of season 3 dropped on Paramount+ on July 17, but the panel surprised fans in San Diego with an early screening of the third episode, "A Space Adventure Hour," which is this season's Hollywood murder-mystery genre-bending episode. *Trek* vet Jonathan Frakes directs the episode, which sees La'An testing a prototype holodeck with a fictional case only she can solve.

*Star Trek: Strange New Worlds* will return for a fifth and final season on Paramount+. Production is expected to engage in Toronto later this year.
