‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Star and Songwriters Break Down the Emotional Heart of That Musical Episode | How I Did It

“We’re bonded in a way that I don’t know many other ‘Trek’ families are, truthfully,” actress Celia Rose Gooding says

Transporting the crew of the USS Enterprise into the world of musical theater was no easy task. When it was announced that the second season of “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds” would feature a musical episode, fans were curious to see how the Paramount+ series would pull this off. But as the cast and crew began getting the episode — titled “Subspace Rhapsody” — off the ground, they found this delightful dalliance was rooted in emotion.
