STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS to End with Season 5, but the Journey Isn't Over Just Yet — GeekTyrant
Paramount+ just gave Star Trek: Strange New Worlds a bittersweet gift with a renewal for a fifth season… which will also be its last. Ahead of the show's much-anticipated Season 3 premiere, the streamer officially confirmed that Strange New Worlds will conclude with a six-episode fifth season. Production on that final voyage is slated to begin later this year. There are still three full seasons left to watch, including Season 3, which kicks off with a two-episode drop on Thursday, July 17, followed by weekly episodes through September 11. Season 4 is currently in production, so there's still plenty of star-hopping and Gorn-dodging ahead. The showrunners are treating the five-season arc like a complete mission and there will be no loose ends, no half-measures. In a joint statement, executive producers Akiva Goldsman, Henry Alonso Myers, and Alex Kurtzman said: 'From the very beginning, Strange New Worlds set out to honor what Star Trek has always stood for — boundless curiosity, hope and the belief that a better future is possible. 'We're deeply grateful to Paramount+ for the chance to complete our five-season mission, just as we envisioned it, alongside our extraordinary cast and crew. 'And to the passionate fans who've boldly joined us on this journey — THANK YOU. With three more spectacular seasons ahead for you to see and enjoy, this adventure is far from over.' That 'five-season mission' line is a tip of the hat to the original five-year mission of The Original Series . I'm sad that this series will be ending because it's such a damn good show! At least we've got three more season before it happens, and it will get a proper conclusion. Strange New Worlds has been a hit with fans during its run, earning a Critics Choice nomination for Best Drama Series in 2023 and snagging a Saturn Award for Best Science Fiction Television Series in 2022. It's also praised for its episodic storytelling and character-driven tone that feels like a modern extension of classic Trek. The upcoming third season will once again feature Anson Mount as Captain Pike, Rebecca Romijn as Number One, Ethan Peck as Spock, and the rest of the stellar ensemble including Jess Bush, Christina Chong, Celia Rose Gooding, Melissa Navia, Babs Olusanmokun, and Martin Quinn, with Carol Kane and Paul Wesley guest-starring. This news follows another final-season announcement for Star Trek: Lower Decks , which also wrapped with its fifth season. So while the end is now on the map, there's still plenty of warp drive left before Strange New Worlds fades into the stars. Source: Deadline

‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' Will End With a Fifth and Final Season
Paramount has confirmed that the U.S.S. Enterprise crew's journey is coming to an end with a truncated fifth season. The adventures of the Enterprise are coming to an end once more. With just over a month to go to the broadcast of its third season, Paramount has confirmed that Star Trek: Strange New Worlds will end with its fifth season. The newly-confirmed fifth season will run for six episodes, down from Strange New Worlds' typical 10-episode seasons. No expected release window for the final season was confirmed, however the show's fourth season, already announced back in April 2024, is currently in production. 'From the very beginning, Strange New Worlds set out to honor what Star Trek has always stood for–boundless curiosity, hope and the belief that a better future is possible,' executive producers Akiva Goldsman, Henry Alonso Myers, and Alex Kurtzman said in a joint statement provided via press release. 'We're deeply grateful to Paramount+ for the chance to complete our five-season mission, just as we envisioned it, alongside our extraordinary cast and crew. And to the passionate fans who've boldly joined us on this journey–THANK YOU. With three more spectacular seasons ahead for you to see and enjoy, this adventure is far from over.' Strange New Worlds' conclusion follows a trend set in Star Trek's streaming renaissance by Discovery and Lower Decks before it, which also both ran for five seasons. But it also marks a turning point towards the end of that era: after the disastrous release of the Section 31 movie earlier this year, and the all-but-confirmed conclusion of Star Trek: Prodigy after its exodus to Netflix, with the confirmation of Strange New Worlds' end just one Star Trek series will remain active for now, the still-in-production Starfleet Academy (set in the 32nd century setting first explored in Discovery), which has already been renewed for a second season. Star Trek's future beyond it may lie in future series, but the only close-to-certain projects we currently know of are films. A new film exploring the foundational years of Starfleet is currently in the works from director Toby Haynes, while Patrick Stewart has openly discussed plans for a potential return to the role of Jean-Luc Picard in a new film, presumably set after the conclusion of Star Trek: Picard. Strange New Worlds returns for its third season on July 17, with a two-episode premiere. We'll bring you more on the future of Star Trek as and when we learn it.
