'Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' Director Wants to Helm a Western Episode

The Big Picture Over the years, audiences and fans of the sprawling Star Trek franchise have seen themed episodes ranging from The Next Generation’s Data heavy Sherlock Holmes tale to Deep Space Nine’s 1960s Vegas mafia installment. But, until very recently, there was one bridge that none of the crews ever crossed — the magical and toe-tapping world of musicals.

Noting the excellent job that Downs did with his vision behind the franchise’s very first musical episode, Coley asked the director if there was any other style that he had his sights set on. “I have yet to do a Western,” Downs admits, adding, “so I would really love to do [that].” Acknowledging the similarities between the wilds of space and the wild wild West, Downs went on to say, “a space Western wouldn’t be out of the box.

And, although the show’s second season may be winding down, Downs isn’t the only one who would like to see the team find themselves in the middle of a Western. Earlier this year, ahead of the sophomore season’s premiere, Coley sat down with Celia Rose Gooding and Melissa Navia, who play Uhura and Lt. Ortegas, respectively, and asked them the same question.

What is “Subspace Rhapsody” About? Star Trek’s first musical episode sees the crew aboard the USS Enterprise entangled in a world where they traded in words for lyrics that unlocked the deeply buried emotions inside. With no hope other than working together, the episode features each member shining in a group piece that celebrated their travels and the bond that sees them through every hardship thrown their way.

Check out a trailer for “Subspace Rhapsody” below, the episode is now available to stream on Paramount+.
