Strange New Worlds is promised to be an episodic show, each episode a new adventure. Co-showrunner Henry Alonso Myers promised audiences at Mission Chicago they would introduce new aliens and new ‘planets of the week’. Of course, that doesn’t mean some elements won’t carry over to allow for character growth.

We’re trying to be true to canon, but also to introduce some interesting new creatures you’ve never seen before. We’ve been working with legacy VFX to do a bunch of really cool prosthetic creatures, as well as some CG stuff. You will be meeting new aliens. There’s new aliens almost every week.
