Strange New Worlds returns with a double premiere: “Hegemony, Part 2” picks up right where last season’s cliffhanger left off, diving into a high-stakes showdown with the Gorn—but not without some disappointingly safe storytelling. Then comes “Wedding Bell Blues,” a lighter, Q-adjacent romp featuring the always-delightful Rhys Darby bringing chaos, charm, and a very familiar queer-coded performance. Season 3 kicks off with confidence—but still plays it close to the vest.
