The first episode, called The Broken Circle, dropped on Paramount Plus in the UK and the US on 15th June 2023, and fans are happy to be back in the world of Trek following the end of Star Trek: Picard.

This season has plenty for fans to look forward to, including that much-hyped Lower Decks crossover. But when is the next episode set to drop on Paramount Plus, and what’s the full release schedule for the season?

There will be 10 episodes in this season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds in total, just as there were in the first season and in all three seasons of Star Trek: Picard.

However, you don’t need to worry that once these 10 episodes are up you won’t see this crew of the USS Enterprise again. In fact, it has already been confirmed that a third season is on the way, meaning there are still plenty more adventures to look forward to.
