Paramount+ hints at a new villain and promises "thrilling adventures filled with faith, duty, romance, comedy and mystery, featuring a variety of genres never before seen in any other Star Trek series," the announcement reads.
The series, led by Anson Mount as Captain Pike, debuts with two episodes on Thursday, July 17 on the streaming platform.
Following the premiere, new episodes will be released weekly on Thursdays, with the season finale airing on Thursday, September 11.
Paramount+ previously announced that the series has also been renewed for a fourth season, which is currently in production in Toronto.
Mount is joined on the bridge by Rebecca Romijn, Ethan Peck, Jess Bush, Christina Chong, Celia Rose Gooding, Melissa Navia, Babs Olusanmokun and Martin Quinn.
Guest stars this season include Rhys Darby, Patton Oswalt, Cillian O'Sullivan, Melanie Scrofano and Carol Kane, who returns as the headstrong Lanthanite Pelia. Paul Wesley also returns as Captain James T. Kirk.
The series, set to debut in 2022, is set in the decade before the classic '60s series. It takes a more traditional television approach, with an "adventure of the week" format, that has won over old fans, earned new ones, and garnered critical acclaim. Paramount+ has said the series is the most-watched Star Trek series, based on viewership calculated in the first 90 days of its release.
The series has also produced clever gimmick episodes, such as an all-musical episode and a crossover episode with an animated Star Trek series. Fans have gone wild for it.
