Star Trek: Unusual New Worlds will function a puppet-themed episode in its fourth and penultimate season, which not too long ago wrapped filming. It would see members of the usS. Enterprise crew, together with Pike, as puppets created by Jim Henson’s Creature Store.

Jordan Canning of Fraggle Rock: Again to the Rock directs the episode.

"Hit it!" Muppet Pike declares from his captain's chair…solely nobody is round to stick to his route. "You heard me say 'hit it,' proper?" he says. "Spock? Anybody? Did you go to season 4 with out me?"
