Jonathan Frakes asked the Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 3 cast: "Am I Being Punked?"
Strange New Worlds from Star Trek: Melissa Navia tells a humorous story about Jonathan Frakes casting the actors in the Hollywood murder mystery episode of season 3. Known for his performance as Riker in Star Trek: The Next Generation, Frakes has given the Strange New Worlds set his expertise and vitality, therefore influencing the present cast.
Emphasizing his passion and professionalism, Navia, who plays Lt. Erica Ortegas on the show, talks of the delight and knowledge Frakes brings to directing. She tells a story about a time she was filming when the cast's exact approach to scene blocking—including down to the Enterprise's bridge shake—made Frakes wonder whether he was being pranked. Frakes was taken aback by the cast's adherence to realism and their exhaustive examination of the details of the action, therefore underscoring the Strange New Worlds' actors' professionalism.
The Great 2025 Star Trek Event from Strange New Worlds Season 3 is Prime+.
Season 3 of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds concluded filming in May and most likely will broadcast in 2025. Given the lack of other significant Star Trek initiatives scheduled for 2025, such the Michelle Yeoh-led Star Trek: Section 31 film, this makes Season 3 Paramount+'s flagship Star Trek event of the year extremely noteworthy.
Currently having a deserved break before they start promoting season 3, the Strange New Worlds cast will returning to Toronto in spring 2025 to start filming season 4. Following another Star Trek: The Next Generation legend, Michael Dorn, Melissa Navia is in typical Ortegas style utilizing her downtime to learn how to be a real-life pilot. Though the delay between seasons is somewhat considerable, episodes like the Hollywood murder mystery directed by Frakes will surely make the waiting worthwhile.
