Season 3 of "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" really set nostalgia and meta references to dense, threatening Maybe turn the approach to restoring a series of force in weakness. We had performances of guests from old villains "Trek" like Trelane (Reese Darby), Holodek's episode, the beginning of Spock (Ethan Peck) and Jimim Kirk (Paul Wesley) BromansAnd more.

We on /The film mostly loved the "weird new worlds" season 3But left many other passengers. Showerzers Henry Alonso Meyers and Akiva Goldsman assured those fans who Season 4 will be more serious. However, talking about other parts of the season, they were less impending.

Talking to TrekmovieMeyers and Goldsman played this when asked if the 4th "Strange New Worlds" season would also bring any classic "Trek" characters. At present, we have seen about half of the original series "Enterprise Crew of" Strange New Worlds ".

Spock and Uhura (Celia Rose Gooding) have been the main characters from the beginning. So does the nurse Christine Capel (Ess Bush), who was a repetitive character (played by Mayel Barrett) in the original "Star Trek". Captain Ta-Bay Kirk made his debut during the final of the season 1 "Mercy of Mercy" (in an alternative future, then became a repetitive character in the season 2. The future chief engineer Scotti (Martin Quinn) then debuted in the final of the season 2, "Hegemony".

It leaves three main absences: Dr. "Bones" McCoy (originally Defust Kelly), the Hikaru Sulu enterprise pilot (originally George Takei) and Ensig Pavel Chekov (originally Walter Koenig). Goldsman told the tricks that "we cannot confirm or deny" if McKoey or Sulu appears, so consider them "maybe". They were very swinging for Chekov.

"There is no Chekov," Goldsman said, with Meyers agreeing: "Yes, Chekov makes no sense."

Chekov has always been a little black sheep or B-player compared to the rest of the original actor Star Trek. This is because he is and is not a member of the crew of the original company.

Chekov did not appear in the first season of Star Trek - he debuted in the premiere of Season 2, "Amok Time". According to Koenig Many years later in 2012, Chekov was added to the show to appeal to young viewers; That's why she wore a wig resembling Davy Onesons of Monqueus.

"Star Trek" may have been chasing a rating (what's not a show?), But Chekov's involvement became a powerful statement; Having a heroic Russian main character of "Star Trek" talked about the utopian internationalism of the show. Remember, in the 1960s, the Russians were the stereotypical "hostile" nation in the US media. In the future of Star Trek, the Cold War was so distant that Americans as Kirk and bones will serve on the same ship as Russian as Chekov.

To present himself not to appear in Star Trek Season 1, many passengers consider him an unspoken canon that Chekov was recently assigned to the company in season 2. was Enzign and clearly the youngest of the main team. This does not fit, however. Since Chekov was not in the Star Trek season, he never got to know the villain Khan Nonien Singh (Ricardo Montalban) in the episode "Space Seed". However, in "Cannes' anger, Chekov and Khan are recognized. Well, was he at the company, but only unprecedented?

Meyers and Goldsman seem to rely on the interpretation of the "new appointed Chekov". That would Be inconvenient if the "weird new worlds" set it to join the crew of the company, then (retroactively) he disappeared for a season, just to return later to the next. So if Chekov is your favorite of the "Tos" characters, this time you have no luck.

"Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" moves to Paramount+; Season 4 is expected to be released in 2026.
