Back in April 2024, Strange New Worlds Season 4 was announced. This news came concurrently with the news that Star Trek: Lower Decks would conclude with its fifth season. And it also came as Star Trek: Discovery Season 5 was airing its fifth and final season.
However, there is one major distinction between the final seasons of Lower Decks and Discovery and the final season of Strange New Worlds . The cast and crew of both Lower Decks and Discovery didn't learn they were canceled until they were deep into making their respective fifth seasons. By contrast, Strange New Worlds Season 4 is currently in production. This means that they will know Season 5 is their final season when they begin work on the episodes.

However, there is a catch. Strange New Worlds Season 5 will be comprised of only six episodes. This is unlike previous seasons, which were comprised of 10 episodes each. Considering the variation between episodes is a key component of the show's success, fewer episodes in the final season is disappointing. Meanwhile, Star Trek: Starfleet Academy Season 1 is set to arrive for streaming on Paramount+ in 2026.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Seasons 1 and 2 are currently available for streaming on Paramount+.

‘How To Train Your Dragon' Soaring Toward No. 1 Debut At Box Office
The live-action remake of How to Train Your Dragon, starring Gerard Butler, is knocking Lilo & Stitch off the top of the domestic box office perch this weekend. Lilo & Stitch, a live-action remake of the 2002 Disney animated hit has been No. 1 at the domestic and worldwide box office since its debut in theaters on May 23. Since that time, the PG family hit has been outperforming such heavy hitters as Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, Karate Kid: Legends and From the World of John Wick: Ballerina. With the release of How to Train Your Dragon, however, Lilo & Stitch has finally met its match. Deadline projected Friday that the DreamWorks/Universal Pictures film will earn $82.5 million from 4,356 North American theaters through Sunday to become the new No. 1 film domestically. Butler, who voiced the role of Chief Stoic the Vast in the animated film, plays the character in the live-action version of How to Train Your Dragon. Mason Thames plays the role of his haphazard son, Hiccup, who bonds with a Night Fury dragon he names Toothless; while Nico Parker takes on the role of Hiccup's teen Viking rival-turned-ally Astrid. Lilo & Stitch, meanwhile, is projected by Deadline to earn $16 million from 3,675 theaters domestically. If the forecast holds, it will boost the film's worldwide take to $367 million. Dakota Johnson and Pedro Pascal in "Materialists." A24 Also new in theaters this weekend is Past Lives' Oscar-nominated filmmaker Celine Song's romantic comedy Materialists, which stars Dakota Johnson, Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans. Deadline projects Materialists, which is an A24 release, will earn $12 million from 2,844 North American theaters through Sunday. Paramount Pictures' Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning and Lionsgate's John Wick spinoff movie Ballerina are in a battle for the No. 4 spot, as Deadline projects both films will earn about $9 million each. The Final Reckoning is playing in 2942 North American theaters this weekend, while Karate Kid: Legends is in 3,008 venues. Should the projections hold, it will up Ballerina's domestic tally to $41.4 million, and boost The Final Reckoning's North American box office take to $165.2 million. Note: This box office report will be updated throughout the weekend with the most current numbers as they become available. The final numbers for this weekend's box office will be released on Monday.

Blake Lively seeks protective order against Justin Baldoni's team over Taylor Swift communications
Blake Lively is seeking a protective order against Justin Baldoni's team in response to its alleged "demands" to access Lively and Taylor Swift's private communications. According to documents obtained by People, Baldoni's team has "pursued [these communications] at the same time they have refused to produce to Ms. Lively the documents they publicly claimed to have received as part of a deal to withdraw their subpoenas to Ms. Swift and her counsel." The document, filed by Lively's lawyer, Esra Hudson, said, "Good cause exists for this request because it has been a tactic" of Baldoni's "to make Ms. Swift and her fan base central to their media strategy against Ms. Lively." A rep for Baldoni did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment. A spokesperson for Lively told Fox News Digital, "Justin Baldoni and the Wayfarer parties are still demanding access to Taylor Swift's private communications despite having already subpoenaed and then withdrawn that subpoena after they 'got all they needed.' "As reflected in today's filing, their intent to drag Taylor Swift into this was evident as far back as August 2024, when the crisis PR firm led by Melissa Nathan included her in their 'Scenario Planning' document … and flagged the 'TS fanbase' as something to take 'extremely seriously," the statement continued. "The ongoing attempts to once again try and use the world's biggest star as a PR tactic in this matter reflects a public unraveling of epic proportions and serves only to distract from the fact that Justin Baldoni's lawsuits against Ms. Lively, Ryan Reynolds, their publicist and the New York Times have been entirely dismissed." Swift was subpoenaed as a witness in the Lively-Baldoni dispute, but Baldoni's team has withdrawn the request, Fox News Digital confirmed in May. A source with direct knowledge of the case told Fox News Digita at the time, "When information is voluntarily received, there is no need for subpoenas." "The ongoing attempts to once again try and use the world's biggest star as a PR tactic in this matter reflects a public unraveling of epic proportions." Representatives for Lively expressed approval of the reversal at the time, saying they will continue to "stand up for any third party who is unjustly harassed or threatened in the process." "We are pleased that Justin Baldoni and the Wayfarer Parties have withdrawn their harassing subpoenas to Taylor Swift and her law firm," Lively's team said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "We supported the efforts of Taylor's team to quash these inappropriate subpoenas directed to her counsel, and we will continue to stand up for any third party who is unjustly harassed or threatened in the process. "The Baldoni and Wayfarer team have tried to put Taylor Swift, a woman who has been an inspiration for tens of millions across the globe, at the center of this case since day one. "Exploiting Taylor Swift's celebrity was the original plan in Melissa Nathan's scenario planning document, and it continues to this day," the statement added. "Faced with having to justify themselves in federal court, they folded. At some point, they will run out of distractions from the actual claims of sexual harassment and retaliation they are facing." After Swift was subpoenaed May 10, a spokesperson for the pop star denied her involvement in the 2024 film "It Ends With Us" aside from the licensing of her song "My Tears Ricochet," which was featured in the movie's trailer and used in one scene. "Taylor Swift never set foot on the set of this movie. She was not involved in any casting or creative decisions. She did not score the film. She never saw an edit or made any notes on the film. She did not even see 'It Ends With Us' until weeks after its public release and was traveling around the globe during 2023 and 2024 headlining the biggest tour in history," Swift's representative told Fox News Digital at the time. "The connection Taylor had to this film was permitting the use of one song, 'My Tears Ricochet,'" the spokesperson added. "Given that her involvement was licensing a song for the film, which 19 other artists also did, this document subpoena is designed to use Taylor Swift's name to draw public interest by creating tabloid clickbait instead of focusing on the facts of the case." Baldoni and Lively's legal fight is scheduled to go to trial before a New York court in March 2026. On Thursday, Swift was spotted with her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, at the 2025 Stanley Cup Final between the Edmonton Oilers and the Florida Panthers in Sunrise, Florida.

This New ‘Superman' Spot Tells Us the Movie's Gonna Cut to the Chase About Clark and Lois
There might finally be an answer about whether or not Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan) knows if Clark Kent (David Corenswet) is really the caped superhero in red trunks, and it's slipped into a quick teaser DC Studios just unleashed for Superman. While previous iterations of Superman's love interest may have fallen for the glasses trick, the idea that being bespectacled could hide the Man of Steel's true identity has always been a ridiculous notion. Director James Gunn has seemingly side-stepped that in his upcoming DC Studios film Superman. In the clip below Lane cuts to the chase saying, 'Eventually people are going to find out that you're Superman.' We love to see the Daily Planet's star reporter's investigatory prowess getting down to business when it comes to Metropolis' caped hero being her boyfriend. The real power's in the glasses. 👓 💪 #Superman – only in theaters July 11. Get tickets now: — Superman (@Superman) June 13, 2025 In earlier trailers you kind of get the impression that she knows but this one confirms it. Now, what's yet to be seen is just when it's figured out—or if she's the only one not falling for the flimsy disguise. Kent responds to her question, 'Yeah, but the glasses,' with a certain confidence that's more 'Kal-El, god among us' than 'farm boy turned big city journalist.' Clearly, Lex Luthor is on his trail too as he attempts to dehumanize the hero as an alien threat, specifically targeting his identity as a man—glasses or not. It remains to be seen if Clark Kent being outed as Superman is going to just be treated as a commonplace thing for this universe, a place where he's far from the only superhero. Superman hits theaters July 11.
