In case the trailer above wasn't enough proof that the upcoming musical "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" episode "Subspace Rhapsody" is a big deal in "Trek" history, the episode has also gotten its very own official poster. "Trek" fan Twitter account @TrekCore has the image direct from San Diego Comic-Con in all its old-school 1950s MGM-style glory.
The ten original songs of "Subspace Rhapsody" will have music and lyrics by Kay Hanley and Tom Polce of the band Letters to Cleo. As you can see in the trailer above, it's being billed as "the musical event of the season," which is probably only partly a joke. A unification between hardcore "Trek" devotees and musical theater enthusiasts is on the way, and it could be more powerful than an alliance between the Klingons and the Romulans.
"Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" Season 2, Episode 9, "Subspace Rhapsody," to be known forever hence as "the musical one," will hit Paramount+ on August 3.
