New Worlds season 2 was artistically creative and successful, with a multi-series crossover, a spectacular musical extravaganza, and an action-packed cliffhanger that introduced an essential character from Star Trek: The Original Series and left the crew of the USS Enterprise in a no-win scenario with the Gorn. Ending a season filled with emotionally punchy moments that lend directly to the series' popularity and retro-optimistic bent, several significant threads are tantalizingly dangling for resolution. Following the dramatic finale, and with the third season already greenlit ahead of season 2's conclusion, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' cast, crew, and fans have been left eager to discover what happens next to the series' beloved characters.

Unfortunately, it might be quite a wait with filming delayed due to the WGA (Writer's Guild of America) and SAG-AFTRA (The Screen Actors Guild - American Federation of Television and Radio Artists) strikes. With no set date to resume filming until the SAG-AFTRA strike is resolved, Strange New Worlds season 3 could air in late 2024 or early 2025. With Strange New Worlds season 3 filming schedule dependent on a resolution to the strike action, the Enterprise actors have been busy filling their time with other projects. Here's a run-down of where they are and what they've all been up to since the cliffhanger finale.
