Star Trek: SNW Season 3 Will Debut Jonathan Frakes’ ‘Best’ Episode Ever
By VALERIE ETTENHOFER
According to Variety, "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" is bringing in Jonathan Frakes, the actor and filmmaker behind season 2's "Star Trek: Lower Decks" crossover episode.
Frakes, renowned for his portrayal of William Riker on the iconic 'Star Trek: The Next Generation,' is set to direct a thrilling murder mystery.
The actor-turned-director has stepped behind the camera for 29 episodes of "Trek" and counting, but he calls this genre outing "the best episode of television [he's] ever done."
"The scope was so much different than anything we had ever done on 'Next Gen,'" Frakes said when talking about the property's epic return to TV in the 2010s.
Fans will see just what they've created with the new murder mystery episode when "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" returns to the streamer sometime in 2025.
