We’re still over a month away from the premiere of season three, but Paramount has announced that Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is getting a fifth season — and that it will be its last.
Dominic Preston is a news editor with over a decade’s experience in journalism. He previously worked at Android Police and Tech Advisor.
While Strange New Worlds’ first four seasons are (or will be) all ten episodes long, the fifth will run for just six. Still, executive producers Akiva Goldsman, Henry Alonso Myers, and Alex Kurtzman said in a joint statement that they’ll “complete our five-season mission, just as we envisioned it.”
“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,” the statement reads. “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.”
The prequel, which follows the USS Enterprise under Captain Pike (portrayed by Anson Mount), complete with younger versions of a few members of the original crew, was renewed for a fourth season in April 2024. That’s now in production, with the fifth set to follow later this year, but before either airs the series will return to Paramount Plus with a two-part season three premiere on July 17th. The other Trek series on the way right now are Starfleet Academy and an untitled live action comedy.
