Star Trek: Strange New Worlds celebrates the end of the actors' strike with a "joyous" behind-the-scenes video of the first-ever Star Trek musical episode, "Subspace Rhapsody." After 118 days, the SAG-AFTRA strike ended at midnight on Thursday, November 9, following reaching a tentative "deal of extraordinary scope… valued at over one billion dollars." Once SAG-AFTRA's membership ratifies the deal, it effectively means that actors can return to work on movies and TV projects, and that certainly includes the cast of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.
On Twitter/X, Strange New Worlds writer-producer Bill Wolkoff (@flying_lobster), who co-wrote the first-ever Star Trek musical episode, shared a BTS video of the last number filmed for "Subspace Rhapsody." The video shows actors Jess Bush (Nurse Christine Chapel), Celia Rose Gooding (Ensign Nyota Uhura), and Dan Jeannotte (Lt. Sam Kirk) having a blast singing "We Are One," while others like Ethan Peck (Lt. Spock) and director Dermott Downs watch from the background. Wolkoff also joins in the fun. Check out the video below:
"We Are One" was the closing song of the Strange New Worlds musical, and it's obvious the cast had a great time letting loose. It's also fascinating to see the background actors and stunt people enjoying the impromptu performance in the USS Enterprise's Port Galley bar set.
