It sounds like Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is planning for more than five seasons

BBG News

As a die-hard Star Trek fan who’s been navigating the galaxy of fandom since the days of flip phones and dial-up internet, I can’t help but feel the excitement bubbling within me at the prospect of more Strange New Worlds! This series has truly captured the essence of what makes Star Trek great – exploration, adventure, and a crew that feels like family.

The third installment of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is slated for release next year, and it’s already been renewed for a fourth season. Since the premiere of Star Trek: Discovery, no Star Trek series has lasted more than five seasons. This suggests that Strange New Worlds might be nearing its conclusion…but there’s a chance it isn’t!

The Star Trek series, Strange New Worlds, has proven to be an extraordinary hit for Paramount+, attracting new subscribers and retaining existing ones due to its high-quality content. Given this success, one might wonder if Paramount+ will stick to their tradition of a five-season run or extend it further?

As a passionate gamer, I can tell you that, just like how our favorite games never seem to end, the same goes for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. In an interview with Variety [via Inverse], executive producer Akiva Goldsman shared this exciting news – the series is in no rush to stop and will carry on as long as Paramount allows it. There have been discussions about the series extending all the way into the first year of Star Trek: The Original Series, but that would mean bidding farewell to Anson Mount’s Captain Pike, one of the key reasons why Strange New Worlds has captured our hearts.

Despite featuring a diverse cast, Star Trek: Discovery’s second season is unified by the powerful presence of the original crew introduced in that season. Although Number One (Rebecca Romijn) had limited screen time, Anson Mount and Ethan Peck’s portrayal of Spock were crucial to the season’s storyline. Their performances were significant factors that prompted fans to campaign for a separate spin-off series.

As a passionate admirer, I must say that while we’re all familiar with Captain Pike’s departure from the Enterprise, characters like Number One, Lt. Erica Ortegas, and La’an Noonien Singh are not part of the Original Series. If Strange New Worlds intends to draw closer to the original timeline, it may mean saying goodbye to some characters, which might not be a welcome prospect for us fans.

Captain Kirk hasn’t taken command of the Enterprise just yet, and there’s a chance for more episodes if ‘Strange New Worlds’ decides to carry on with further seasons, fingers crossed!
