Star Trek just delivered its most surprising episode in years. There’s now a real chance of a spin-off, but only under one condition. The latest Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 4 episode saw what franchise fans may have craved for in the last six decades.
The muppets are back in the series, and they were in full swing in the new episode. Following their wild comeback, director Jordan Canning explained in detail what this means for the future of puppets in the Star Trek universe.
Speaking to The Guardian, Canning mentioned that there are chances of spin-off projects featuring muppets. “They’re in storage,” she revealed. “Those puppets will always exist. I would love to get them out again and make some short films or a web series or something.”
However, there’s only one condition that could make it happen. “If the fans like it, let’s get them out again. Let the puppets play!”
