Star Trek always brings the goods at SDCC, and this year was no exception. The hour-long panel featured announcements and trailers from Strange New Wor☂lds season 3, Lower Decks' final season, Starfleet Academy, and (lastꦛ but certainly not least) the Michelle Yeoh-led Section 31 movie.

𒀰Missed it? Or want to relive its best moments? Below, we've got a snapshot of the♛ Star Trek SDCC panel's biggest reveals. Let's make it so!

Strange New Worlds season 3

Strange New Worlds is no stranger to pulling out the unexpected. You only have to lo𒅌ok at its mu🍰sical episode for evidence of that.

Still, the third season of the Star Trek series is ready to embrace the weird and wonderful once more. The first look sees the crew turned into Vulcan's, experien𝔍cing all the pain that goes with their trademark grip on emotions. Yes, they have pointy ears too. Expect more hi🐭gh concept missions with a premiere expected next year.

At SDCC we learned that Doctor Roger Korby and Scotty will appear this season. And apparently, as per our sister publication 's tweet, we'll see a side to Number One we’ve never seen before as she takes to the captain's chair for much longer than she has 🌼previously.

Lower Decks season 5

A trailer fo༒r Lower Decks fifth and final season was♌ revealed during the Star Trek Comic-Con panel.

The opening 45 seconds of the trailer is a montage of th🌠e Lower Decks crew of the USS Cerritos and their galactic hijinks over the past four seasons.

A voiceover says🌸, "Now you are inviജted to join them for one last adventure" as the USS Cerritos heads into warp drive. 

Tawn𒁃y Newsome's Mar꧟iner disagrees, saying they "haven't even cracked one quadrant yet."

From there, quantum fissure envelopes the ship and an alternate universe/timeline version of the crew are shown, including Captain Freeman (Dawnn Lewis). Then♏ there's a 🅘sizzle reel of upcoming missions, including a society burning all their prized possessions and - bizarrely - Jack Quaid's Brad Boimler hitting the slopes. Lower Decks, it seems, is going out with a bang.

Back to SDCC, before revealing the trailer, writer Mike McMahan said this final season is a celebration of all things Star Trek and Lower Decks, but that fans might not get the closure they are after. See SFX's tweet below for🍎 more on that.

Starfleet Academy

Ready for a dose of heartwar𝄹ming Trek content? Starfleet Academy is the latest series in♈ the franchise, and a video at SDCC revealed the reactions to several cast members after they found out they would be in the show.

As per Starfleet Academy's logline, the show "introduces a young🌠 group of cadets who come together to pursue a common dream of hope and optimism."

It cont💎inues, "Under the watchful and demanding eyes of their instructors, they discover what it takes to become Starfleet officers as they navigate blossoming friendships, explosive rivalries, first loves and a new enemy that threatens both☂ the Academy and the Federation itself."

At SDCC, it was announced that returning Star Trek stars including Tig Notaro, Oded Fehr, Mary Wiseman, and Robert Picardo a🍰re set to join season one and that only one cast member i꧙s left to join. 

Section 31

It's been five years since the Michelle Yeoh spin-off of Star Trek Discovery was 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:first announced.

Since then, Discovery has wrapped up, but Section 31 still🎐 🅠remains.

The first trailer, revealed at SDCC, charts Emperor Philippa Georgiou's beginnings as iron-fist tyrant through to ♛Section 31 operative. The teaser (which also revealed a 2025 release window) is snappy and fun, galaxies away from the tone set by Discovery. You can watch it for yourself above.

At SDCC, Section 31 also got new cast memb𒊎ers added. See SFX's tweet below for more.
