Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Reveals First Clip From Musical Episode

Paramount+ has revealed the first clip from Star Trek: Strange New World‘s upcoming musical episode, “Subspace Rhapsody.” The crew of the USS Enterprise doesn’t break into song yet, but the clip (released on The Ready Room) does set the stage for the musical numbers to come. The clip sees Uhura (Celia Rose Gooding), Spock (Ethan Peck), and Pelia (Carol Kane) working together in engineering on a way to improve Starfleet’s subspace communications across the quadrant. Thus far, their tests haven’t yielded results. However, Uhura’s humming leads Pelia to suggest sending music through the subspace fold as fundamental harmonics may be the answer to their problem.

Spock lets Uhura choose which song to send through the fold. Uhura turns to the Great American Songbook, selecting the 1934 song “Anything Goes,” which Cole Porter wrote for the musical of the same name. You can see the clip below.

“Subspace Rhapsody” features music and lyrics by Kay Hanley (Letters to Cleo) and Tom Polce (Letters to Cleo, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend). The episode’s soundtrack is already available to pre-save on streaming music services here. 

“Subspace Rhapsody” is the penultimate episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 2. It is releasing one week earlier than expected due to Paramount+ giving Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 2’s Star Trek: Lower Decks crossover episode “Those Old Scientists” a surprise release following the Star Trek universe panel at San Diego Comic-Con, where “Subspace Rhapsody” was first revealed to Star Trek fans.
