By Mulder, San Diego, Convention Center, 25 july 2024

San Diego Comic-Con 2024 was a monumental event for Star Trek fans, as Paramount+ went all out with their booth and panels, bringing a comprehensive and immersive experience that celebrated the vast Star Trek universe. At the Paramount+ booth, fans were treated to an array of interactive activities, including the opportunity to sit in the captain's chair and explore different "strange new worlds." This booth, themed around "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds," was a fan favorite, offering not just photo ops but also a display of official costumes and props from the series, giving fans a tangible connection to the beloved franchise.

One of the most engaging aspects of the Paramount+ presence was the digital scavenger hunt that spanned multiple locations around the convention center and the city. Participants who collected all the necessary stamps by interacting with different booths and displays could claim exclusive prizes, adding a layer of excitement that extended beyond the convention floor.

The highlight of the event for many was undoubtedly the Star Trek Universe panel in Hall H, which featured a stellar lineup of cast and crew from across the franchise. The panel covered several Star Trek series, including "Strange New Worlds," "Lower Decks," "Starfleet Academy," and the highly anticipated "Section 31." Fans were particularly eager to learn more about "Section 31," especially with the presence of stars like Michelle Yeoh, whose character Philippa Georgiou has been a fan favorite.

The panel also provided glimpses into future content, with discussions around the third season of "Strange New Worlds" and a sneak peek into the upcoming final season of "Lower Decks." The emotional send-off planned for "Lower Decks" was a hot topic, with creators and cast members hinting at a finale that will honor the series' unique place within the Star Trek canon.

Adding to the excitement was the announcement of a crossover event between Star Trek and Doctor Who, which has already sparked massive speculation among fans. The crossover was introduced during a special "Intergalactic Friendship Panel," where creators from both franchises discussed the potential for future collaborations, leaving fans buzzing with anticipation.

Overall, SDCC 2024 solidified Paramount+'s commitment to expanding and deepening the Star Trek universe, providing fans with both nostalgic experiences and fresh, exciting content to look forward to in the coming year.
