Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Ending with 6-Episode Season 5
Paramount+ announced that Anson Mount, Rebecca Romijn, and Ethan Peck-starring Star Trek: Strange New Worlds will end with Season 5.
Though there's still a month to go until the third season premieres, Paramount+ is breaking the news early to fans of Anson Mount, Rebecca Romijn, and Ethan Peck-starring Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. The hit streaming series has been renewed for a fifth and final season, one that will consist of six episodes. "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,"shared executive producers Akiva Goldsman, Henry Alonso Myers, and Alex Kurtzman in a joint statement. "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."
With a two-episode return set for Thursday, July 17th (with individual episodes dropping weekly after that), here's a rundown of the season's episode titles that was released earlier this week:
In season three, when we reconnect with the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise, still under the command of Captain Pike, they face the conclusion of season two's harrowing encounter with the Gorn. But new life and civilizations await, including a villain that will test our characters' grit and resolve. An exciting twist on classic "Star Trek," season three takes characters both new and beloved to new heights and dives into thrilling adventures of faith, duty, romance, comedy, and mystery with varying genres never before seen on any other "Star Trek."
During the show's San Diego Comic-Con 2024 (SDCC 2024) presentation last summer, a first-look clip was released that finds the crew forced to become Vulcans to complete a mission – but let's just say that it doesn't quite work for Kane's Pelia. In addition, we learned that Cillian O'Sullivan (In From The Cold) had been tapped for the recurring guest star role of Dr. Roger Korby and that Martin Quinn's Scotty had been upped to a series regular.
Paramount+'s Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is based on the years that Captain Christopher Pike (Anson Mount) manned the helm of the U.S.S. Enterprise, following Pike, Science Officer Spock (Ethan Peck), and Number One (Rebecca Romijn) during the years before Captain Kirk boarded the U.S.S. Enterprise as they explore new worlds around the galaxy. The streaming series also stars Jess Bush as Nurse Christine Chapel, Christina Chong as La'an Noonien-Singh, Celia Rose Gooding as Cadet Nyota Uhura, Melissa Navia as Lt. Erica Ortegas, and Babs Olusanmokun as Dr. M'Benga. The second season also featured the return of special guest star Paul Wesley as James T. Kirk and new addition Carol Kane in a recurring role as Pelia.
Paramount+'s Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is produced by CBS Studios, Secret Hideout, and Roddenberry Entertainment. Akiva Goldsman and Henry Alonso Myers serve as co-showrunners. Goldsman, Alex Kurtzman, and Jenny Lumet serve as executive producers in addition to Alonso Myers, Aaron Baiers, Heather Kadin, Frank Siracusa, John Weber, Rod Roddenberry, and Trevor Roth
