Dan Jeannotte Shares Behind-The-Scenes Fun From Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 3

by

Dan Jeannotte has shared a glimpse behind the scenes of filming season 3 of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. Jeannotte portrays Lieutenant Sam Kirk, the older brother of the future Captain James T. Kirk (played by Paul Wesley), on the show.

Lieutenant Sam Kirk appeared in the first episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds as a xeno-anthropologist and friend of Captain Christopher Pike (Anson Mount). With his friendly personality and the amusing friction between him and Lieutenant Spock (Ethan Peck), the mustachioed Sam quickly became a likable and dependable source of humor aboard the Starship Enterprise.

Season 3 of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds didn’t resonate with fans as much as earlier seasons. While the show took bigger risks with its storytelling, some viewers felt it prioritized fun and genre experimentation over the thought-provoking ethical questions and social issues that traditionally define Star Trek.

I was so thrilled to hear that filming season 3 of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds was such a happy experience for the cast! Dan Jeannotte is giving fans a wonderful behind-the-scenes look at the Enterprise sets from that season, and it’s amazing to know they were having so much fun while making what will be the fifth and final season of this incredible show.

The comedy episode “Wedding Bell Blues” from Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 3 was a standout, largely due to a fantastic performance by guest star Rhys Darby as Trelane. Behind the scenes, Dan Jeannotte highlights the impressive costume work of supervisor Bernadette Croft, who designed the beautiful 23rd-century formal wear worn by the cast.

Dan Jeannotte recently shared on Instagram how impressed he is with the props department of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. He specifically highlighted the incredibly detailed food trays created for Spock’s bachelor party in the episode “Wedding Bell Blues.” Dan jokingly said, “I love their work, I keep eating their work,” revealing that the beautiful food shown on the series isn’t just for display – it’s actually delicious and edible.
