The most terrifying antagonist reintroduced in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 1 was the Gorn, the reptilian race that menaced Captain Kirk in a memorable episode of Star Trek: The Original Series. After being hinted at in the Strange New Worlds Season 2 premiere, the Gorn are back with a vengeance in the Season 2 finale, titled "Hegemony." Intense, though less overtly horror-driven than Strange New Worlds' previous encounter with the Gorn, Season 2 ends on a harrowing note that gives much of the main cast their due and ensures audiences will be waiting breathlessly for the series to return for its third season.
