The STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS Team Is Looking to Set Up a Soft Reboot of the Original Series — GeekTyrant
At the Season 3 premiere in New York, executive producers Akiva Goldsman and Henry Alonso Myers opened up about what's next. When asked why now was the time to announce the end, Goldsman explained:
"It just happened. The truth is, we have been, from the beginning, hoping for a five year mission. And that was the plan, but you also have to not wear out your welcome.
'And the folks who determine whether or not you wear out your welcome [are the ones] who pay. And so, they gave us this abbreviated fifth season right on the heels of giving us a fourth season. Nothing stays a secret."
This wasn't entirely their choice as Paramount called the shot, and while the series will complete the five-year mission they initially were hoping for, it's not necessarily the sendoff the creators wanted.
Still, both Goldsman and Myers made it clear they're not done dreaming. When asked where the Star Trek universe might go from here, Myers responded:
"I don't know. I know Alex [Kurtzman] is going to be doing 'Starfleet Academy.' But my focus is singular. I'm 'Strange New Worlds' all the time. But would I like to get us right up to the edge of ['The Original Series'] and then have somebody call us and say, 'Now make that show!'"
That's when Goldsman chimed in saying:
"We literally have a fantastic cast and we have incredible sets and we have all these things right there — it's a shame to waste it."
The idea here is simple, if Paramount is ending Strange New Worlds , maybe they'll let the same team roll right into a spiritual sequel, one that takes place in the era of The Original Series with the current cast already in place. Seems like a great idea and one that fans of Strange New World would embrace.
They've got Ethan Peck as Spock, Paul Wesley as Kirk, and beautifully detailed Enterprise sets ready to go. Why tear it all down when they could just keep the journey going under a different title?
Whether or not Paramount bites, it's clear Goldsman and Myers are setting the table. They're not asking fans to say goodbye. Not yet. They're hoping to pass the torch without ever putting it out.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 3 premieres July 17, 2025, on Paramount+.

‘Big Brother 27' spoilers: Here's who wins the Week 3 Veto competition during Lauren's yawn-inducing HOH reign
Gold Derby is serving up Big Brother 27 spoilers all summer long. Read at your own risk! The third Head of Household of the season, Lauren Domingue, made zero waves in the house this week as she nominated three people for eviction who'd already been on the block: Keanu Soto, Kelley Jorgensen, and Will Williams. Yawn! (Read our recap of Sunday's episode.) More from Gold Derby 'America's Got Talent 20' recap: Simon declares 'one of the craziest days' of auditions 'Big Brother 27' spoilers: Lauren's HOH reign goes from bad to worse after Veto meeting The 22-year-old bridal consultant from Lafayette, La. (and self-described Big Brother superfan) was hoping to come away from her HOH reign with no blood on her hands. So, she nominated Keanu because he was the house's target, Kelley because she volunteered (yet again!), and Will because everyone loves him and he had just survived a 13-0 vote against . The eligible contestants soon took part in the Week 3 Veto competition, and it was revealed on the Paramount+ live feeds that the winner of the medallion was ... Keanu! This 33-year-old Dungeon Master from Miami is now in a similar position to last week, where he was the house's target but he came off the block because of the Power of Veto. Only this time, he won the advantage himself and didn't have to rely on the "Mystery Competitor," aka Season 20 champion Kaycee Clark. Keanu will undoubtedly use the Veto to remove himself from the block for the second week in a row. That means Lauren will soon have to nominate a fourth houseguest for eviction. 'Big Brother 27' cast: Meet the 16 new houseguests and the 1 mystery player View Gallery17 Images In a conversation with Vince Panaro, her final two ride-or-die, Lauren said she was contemplating putting up Ashley Hollis as the renom. Remember, Ashley's game was on the line way back in Week 1 when she took a two-hour shower in Vince's HOH room. Katherine Woodman helped push that #showergate narrative, and Lauren and Katherine have since become besties in the house. Another person who should watch her back is Rachel Reilly, the show's infamous "queen" and winner of Season 13. Rachel is constantly talked about as a threat in this game, but she's so far managed to avoid the block. However, if Lauren were to nominate Rachel as the renom, and Rachel were to survive, Lauren would surely have blood on her hands, which is something she's trying to avoid. Also of note: by winning the Veto competition, Keanu earned the right to host a movie screening of The Bad Guys 2. He chose Ava Pearl and Rachel to join him. At the thought of watching a movie with Keanu, who drives her absolutely bonkers, Ava whispered to Will, "Please, God, don't!" She added, "And now Rachel is gonna watch the movie, too? I'm gonna be locked in a g--d--- room with Crazy 1 and Crazy 2. F--- my life!" See how all the Veto drama plays out Wednesday night on CBS. Then on Thursday, the three nominees will have one last chance to save themselves in the live BB Block Buster competition.

Poll: Americans think Paramount is canceling 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert' because of politics — and they don't approve
More favor (46%) than oppose (31%) "late-night talk show hosts getting involved in politics by speaking out on political issues." More Americans disapprove (40%) than approve (33%) of Paramount's controversial decision earlier this month to cancel CBS's long-running late-night program with host Stephen Colbert, according to a new Yahoo/YouGov poll. And while CBS has claimed the decision was 'purely … financial' — adding that it was 'not related in any way to the show's performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount' — more Americans believe that politics rather than money was the real reason behind it. The survey of 1,729 U.S. adults was conducted in the immediate aftermath of Paramount's Late Show announcement, from July 24 to July 28 — a period that coincided with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) finally agreeing to sign off on the company's proposed $8 billion mega-merger with the Hollywood studio Skydance. Colbert is a sharp critic of President Trump, and skeptics have accused Paramount of canceling the Late Show not because late-night talk shows are losing money but because the company wanted to appease the Trump administration and get its Skydance deal over the line. Last October, Trump sued Paramount for the way CBS's 60 Minutes program edited an interview with his Democratic rival, Kamala Harris — and earlier this month, Paramount decided to settle with Trump and pay $16 million to his future presidential library, even though several legal experts said the case was frivolous. Colbert — who is scheduled to keep hosting the Late Show until it goes dark next May — mocked the settlement on-air, calling it a 'big fat bribe.' 'As someone who has always been a proud employee of this network, I'm offended, and I don't know if anything will ever repair my trust in this company,' Colbert told his audience. 'But just taking a stab at it, I'd say $16 million would help.' The new Yahoo/YouGov poll shows that more Americans agree with Colbert's theory of why his show was canceled than agree with other, more 'purely financial' explanations. When asked why CBS and Paramount are canceling the Late Show — and instructed to select all the reasons that apply — the share who select 'Paramount is trying to curry favor with the Trump administration' (37%) and 'Stephen Colbert is too critical of Donald Trump' (36%) is greater than the share who select 'the Late Show is losing money (32%), 'the Late Show is losing viewers' (30%) and 'the late-night format is losing relevance' (26%). Partisan preferences are clearly playing a role in the reaction to the Late Show's demise. Far more Americans think Colbert is liberal (53%) than think he's moderate (10%) or conservative (3%), and Democrats (72%) are six times more likely to disapprove of the decision than Republicans (12%). Still, there is no consensus that Colbert has gone overboard politically. In fact, more Americans (35%) say he is "about right" politically than say he's "too political" (28%). And more also favor (46%) than oppose (31%) "late-night talk show hosts getting involved in politics by speaking out on political issues." That might help explain why a majority of Americans still say they watch Colbert's content — either 'always' (5%), 'occasionally' (21%) or when they 'see clips online' (27%). The rest (47%) say they never watch Colbert. Finally, when Americans are asked to select up to three of their favorite late-night talk show hosts, Colbert (25%) ties Jimmy Fallon (25%) for first place, with Jimmy Kimmel (22%), Jon Stewart (19%), John Oliver (11%) Seth Meyers (7%), Bill Maher (7%), Andy Cohen (3%) and Taylor Tomlinson (2%) trailing behind them. __________________ The Yahoo survey was conducted by YouGov using a nationally representative sample of 1,729 U.S. adults interviewed online from July 24 to 28, 2025. The sample was weighted according to gender, age, race, education, 2024 election turnout and presidential vote, party identification and current voter registration status. Demographic weighting targets come from the 2019 American Community Survey. Party identification is weighted to the estimated distribution at the time of the election (31% Democratic, 32% Republican). Respondents were selected from YouGov's opt-in panel to be representative of all U.S. adults. The margin of error is approximately 3.1%. Solve the daily Crossword
