Strange New Worlds season 1 set up season 2's musical.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 2's musical episode appears to have been inevitable after Strange New Worlds' second episode set up the USS Enterprise's crew members can sing. Directed by Dermot Downs with music and lyrics by Letters to Cleo's Kay Hanley and Tom Polce, Strange New Worlds season 2, episode 9, "Subspace Rhapsody," was Star Trek's first-ever musical episode.
In Strange New Worlds season 1, episode 2, "Children of the Comet," the USS Enterprise under the command of Captain Christopher Pike encounters and investigates a rogue comet. The Enterprise is intercepted by the Shepherds, a caretaker race who reveal the comet is actually M'hanit, an ancient "Arbiter of Life" that can somehow choose whether worlds live or die. Unfortunately, a landing party consisting of Lt. Spock , Lt.
Uhura is a known singer since Nichelle Nichols' Lt. Uhura often regaled her USS Enterprise crew mates with song in Star Trek: The Original Series. Spock singing is a new aspect of the Vulcan that Strange New Worlds has deepened with the musical episode. But once the seed that some of Strange New Worlds' cast and characters can sing was planted so early in season 1, it opened the door to the potential of the entire cast to star in a musical episode to be realized.
How Strange New Worlds' Musical Episode Happened They say success has many fathers, and this seems to be the case with Strange New Worlds' musical episode as several individuals claim and deserve credit for it happening. Strange New Worlds showrunners Akiva Goldsman and Henry Alonso Myers told Variety that Akiva had been wanting to do a musical episode since Star Trek: Picard season 1 when showrunner Michael Chabon told Goldsman he knew Lin-Manuel Miranda.
A musical episode was one of the "big swings" Strange New Worlds took in season 2, but it paid off with critical and audience acclaim as well as the soundtrack topping the Apple music streaming charts.
