Strange New Worlds US in NZ: Season 4 on Duke, TVNZ+
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is on Duke on Friday 13 November at 8.30pm, listed as Season 4 Episode 9, and TVNZ+ has had all ten Season 4 episodes since Friday 25 September. Which episode Duke shows after that, and when Season 5 arrives in New Zealand, are not yet confirmed.
What time is Strange New Worlds on Duke?
Friday at 8.30pm, a one-hour slot on Duke, with a repeat on Duke +1 an hour later. Freeview’s guide, opened on Wednesday 11 November around 10.40am, ran through to Wednesday 18 November and had the show once in that stretch, on Friday 13 November, marked “New” and numbered Season 4 Episode 9. Sky’s guide, checked at the same time, agrees on that night and also lists Friday 20 November.
| Date (NZ) | Episode | Channel | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Friday 13 November | Season 4, Episode 9 | Duke | 8.30pm to 9.30pm |
| Friday 13 November | Season 4, Episode 9 | Duke +1 | 9.30pm (Sky guide) |
| Friday 20 November | Not numbered | Duke | 8.30pm (Sky guide only) |
| Friday 20 November | Not numbered | Duke +1 | 9.30pm (Sky guide only) |
The 20 November rows come only from Sky, whose listing is also marked “New” but carries no episode number, and Freeview’s window stopped at 18 November. On Sky’s channel list Duke is channel 23 and Duke +1 is channel 504.
Where can you stream Strange New Worlds in NZ?
On TVNZ+. TVNZ’s own catalogue, which we read on Wednesday 11 November around 10.40am, lists ten Season 4 episodes, one posted each Friday morning from 24 July. Episode 9, “Once La’An a Time” in TVNZ’s spelling, went up on Friday 18 September at 8am and Episode 10 on Friday 25 September. TVNZ prints a running time of about 46 minutes for Episode 9, and a listed-until date of 23 July 2028 for the season, which the service can change.

Is TVNZ+ ahead of Duke on Season 4?
Yes, by a long way. Duke’s Friday 13 November slot is Episode 9, which TVNZ+ posted on 18 September, 56 days earlier, and the matching titles on both listings are how we know it is the same episode. TVNZ+ also has Episode 10, posted on 25 September, that Duke’s guide has not shown yet.
Is 20 November the Season 4 finale?
Not confirmed. If Duke runs the episodes in order, the 20 November slot would be Episode 10, the last Season 4 episode TVNZ lists, but neither guide numbers that night’s episode, so we haven’t called it. We also haven’t found a New Zealand date for Season 5. We leave out the story on purpose, because this page is a where-and-when guide.
Where else does Star Trek-style sci-fi show up in NZ?
Other science-fiction and fantasy on the streamers is covered in The Rings of Power in NZ, while Tulsa King US in NZ and Boston Blue US in NZ are two US dramas that also lean on TVNZ and Three. To watch without Sky, the Freeview versus Sky guide lists what the free channels carry, the NZ streaming prices guide compares the paid services, and our streaming section gathers the rest.
