Fans of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' infamous musical episode, Subspace Rhapsody, may soon be in for a treat. Today at San Diego Comic-Con, executive producer Akiva Goldsman revealed that they're in the early stages of exploring doing a stage adaptation of the episode.

In an interview with IGN also at SDCC, we asked executive producer Henry Alonso Myers about whether or not we might see another musical episode in a future season. Myers didn't have a firm answer for us, but it does sound like at minimum we won't be seeing such a song-filled episode anywhere in season 3.
"I can't promise that we're not going to revisit it some day, but we are going to hold off a little bit before we come back to it," he said. "If you come back for a second episode of something, you really want to make it special and different and bigger and crazier, and we're special and different and bigger and crazier in our next season in a lot of other ways, so that's about the most I want to say."
Strange New Worlds is a Paramount+ Star Trek series following Captain Pike and the crew of the Enterprise a decade before the events of Star Trek: The Original Series. It's a sequel to Star Trek: Discovery, with Anson Mount, Ethan Peck, and Rebecca Romijin reprising their roles as Pike, Spock, and Number One, respectively. Its second season concluded last August, and a season 3 is in the works with a new clip premiering at SDCC. Subspace Rhapsody was a part of that second season, serving as a playful, silly interlude amid the season's drama.
