Background information[]
- It was revealed on 23 July 2022 at San Diego Comic Con 2022 that Strange New Worlds Season 2 will have a crossover episode that will feature characters from Star Trek: Lower Decks. [1]
- On 19 April 2023, Paramount+ launched a season two teaser trailer, which featured the 2003 song "Such Great Heights" by The Postal Service. [2] A second season two trailer without the song was released on 24 May 2023, but did feature the two Lower Decks crossover characters, Beckett Mariner and Brad Boimler. [3]
- In 2023, it was announced that as of 1 August 2023, the streaming rights for Star Trek were to be rescinded for CraveTV with the temporary exception of Strange New worlds, still streaming its second season at the time of the announcement. A little over a month later however, on 9 September 2023, it was removed from the service as well after all. It left Crave entirely devoid of Star Trek on top of making the series truly a Paramount+ exclusive, as the Canadian platform had been the only one anywhere in the world, besides Paramount+/SkyShowtime, to stream the series.
