Strange New Worlds Season 4 Goes Full Puppet Mode with Jim Henson's Creature Shop

Hold onto your tricorders, because Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is about to unleash its most delightfully bizarre episode yet. Season 4 features a full-on puppet show, animated by none other than Jim Henson's Creature Shop. This isn't your grandma's Star Trek. They're genuinely pushing boundaries.

Celia Rose Gooding, who plays the iconic Cadet Nyota Uhura, gave us a peek into the upcoming chaos. She rated the puppet episode a "10 out of 5" on the wacky scale. Fans know Strange New Worlds thrives on genre flips. We've seen musicals, fairytale adventures, and even medieval escapades. But puppets? That's a bold new frontier for the Enterprise crew.

Jordan Canning, director of Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock, is at the helm for this unique installment. The creative choice makes perfect sense. SDCC 2025 even gave us a glimpse of Puppet Pike, voiced by Captain Anson Mount himself. It’s a clear signal: Strange New Worlds isn't just pushing boundaries; it's gleefully smashing them. This is pure, unadulterated fun, and fans are here for it.
