Star Trek: Unusual New Worlds has confirmed that it will probably boldly go the place no present has gone earlier than with nice success. The Paramount+ collection has tackled a fairy story, a musical, a partly animated crossover with Decrease Decks, a homicide thriller, and others. And in Season 4, as introduced at San Diego Comedian-Con, there shall be a puppet episode!
And so when TV Insider spoke with Paul Wesley, who performs Kirk (not but a captain), we needed to ask if he’s going to be within the puppet episode.
“I’m not in that episode, sadly, so I can’t communicate to it. However I’ve seen some stuff and it’s simply pure brilliance,” he mentioned. “I’m jealous that I’m not in it truly.”
We do know that we are going to see Puppet Pike; the primary take a look at him was revealed through the Comedian-Con panel and might be seen within the picture beneath.

Wesley did have enjoyable with Season 3’s homicide thriller episode, “A House Journey Hour,” taking part in, within the holodeck simulation, the actor who stars because the captain on The Final Frontier, a tackle the unique Star Trek.
“What I like about Unusual New Worlds is that each single episode is its personal film. It’s an episodic collection with serialized components, however on the finish of the day, you possibly can truly tune in, and every episode is a totally completely different theme. It’s virtually like the whole lot is clearly an area journey, however in a bizarre method, you’re exploring so many various genres,” he mentioned.
For his character, Maxwell Saint, “I needed to provide the followers just a little little bit of a deal with by doing the kind of, I assume, for lack of a greater phrase, satirical popular culture model of William Shatner‘s Kirk,” Wesley shared. “Clearly, it’s exaggerated, it’s enjoyable, it’s meant to be playful, however it was a possibility for me to do this in order that followers who love The Unique Sequence can really feel that nostalgia as a result of my method to Kirk once I first bought this position was to create my very own model of Kirk that didn’t have any of the kind of mimicking copycat model of what William Shatner did. And this was an important alternative to do the alternative of that, which was kind of attempt to emulate just a little little bit of his efficiency within the ’60s, however with a comedic twist.”
