Paramount+ has made two big decisions about its Star Trek universe. Strange New Worlds has been renewed for a fourth season, while Lower Decks will end with its previously announced upcoming fifth season, expected to air sometime this year.
“Star Trek: Strange New Worlds,” currently in production on its third season, has been renewed by Paramount+ for Season 4. Meanwhile, “Star Trek: Lower Decks,” the first animated “Star Trek” comedy, will conclude its run on the streamer with its fifth season, which will debut in the fall.
What's the next Star Trek series? At time of current writing, the second season of Star Trek: Prodigy is anticipated to be the next Star Trek show to debut, at some point on Netflix. The next all-new series to debut will be Starfleet Academy, which we can likely expect at some point in 2025.
The cancelation machine NBC's biggest concerns were ratings, but it was also concerned with demographics. Star Trek actually performed well with what would now be considered key demographics; however, these were not considered quality demographics of the era, resulting in less faith in the network.
TOS episodes "The Empath," "Whom Gods Destroy," "Plato's Stepchildren," and "Miri" were all banned. Although TNG's "Conspiracy" may be the most well-known episode to have been banned, this kind of censoring wasn't new to Star Trek.
Will there be a new Star Trek series with Jack Crusher?
He expresses a strong desire to reprise his role as Ensign Jack Crusher, feeling there is more to offer creatively. The proposed spinoff, Star Trek: Legacy, is not in development at Paramount+, but Speleers and the rest of the cast are keen to return.
Produced by CBS Studios, the series will begin production in 2024. Star Trek: Starfleet Academy will introduce us to a young group of cadets who come together to pursue a common dream of hope and optimism.
So, ultimately, the central error of "Discovery," and the reason many Trekkies didn't connect with it, is that it attempted to eliminate trekking from its own formula. In so doing, it eliminated a variety of missions. It eliminated a need to establish protocol and a group dynamic among the crew.
Starship Discovery will soon be ending its mission, and what a journey it's been. “Star Trek: Discovery,” which premiered in 2017, is entering its fifth and final season Thursday on Paramount+.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds will return for a fourth season. Co-showrunners Akiva Goldsman and Henry Alonso Myers and executive producer Alex Kurtzman confirms in a statement, "On behalf of the cast and crew of 'Strange New Worlds' we are thrilled and grateful to continue our voyages together.
Series creator Mike McMahan and executive producer Alex Kurtzman confirm the news in a touching tribute to the series and its fans: To the fans, We wanted to let you know that this fall will be the fifth and final season of Star Trek: Lower Decks.
Ambassador Spock was born in 2230 and lived until 2387 in the alternate timeline, he was cast back in time to 2258 and lived an additional five years until 2263. 2387–2230=157, 157+5 = 162. He died at approximately age 161 and 361 days.
Unlike returning characters from the original Star Trek series, like Spock and Uhura, Kirk is not a common sight in Strange New Worlds. He was not part of the main cast, and when he did appear, he was largely a different person.
Paramount's rationale for ending TNG was driven by the increasing budget for the series and the studio's desire to keep the Star Trek movie franchise going. By the early 1990s, the films that starred the aging cast of TOS were waning, and Paramount saw TNG as the future of the Star Trek movies.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds premiered on Paramount+ on May 5, 2022, and its 10-episode first season was released weekly until July. A second season was released from June to August 2023, a third season is set for release in 2025, and a fourth season has been ordered.
Yes, Star Trek 4 is in "active development," but currently lacks a director. While progress has been slow, there's still hope for the movie's eventual release.
He was increasingly interested in working in feature films, but the producers wouldn't give him time off from the show. Wheaton felt he needed to hang up his Starfleet uniform and move on to benefit his career. Sadly, we'll never know the writers' long-term plans for him.
Wesley Crusher Had to Sacrifice His Human Life to Become a Traveler. According to Wheaton, "One of the fundamental rules of being in the Travelers is that, once you've joined, you must NEVER interact directly with the people, places, planets, etc.
As Admiral, you have the authority to select the ships, equipment, and captains to lead into battle. Will there be a Picard spin-off? Terry Matalas, the showrunner for Star Trek: Picard season 3, has confirmed that there is currently no development underway for a Star Trek: Legacy spinoff of Picard on Paramount+.
While on NBC, Star Trek's Nielsen ratings were low and the network canceled it after three seasons and 79 episodes. In the United Kingdom the series was not broadcast until July 12, 1969, coinciding with the Apollo 11 mission to land the first humans on the Moon.
If you're a diehard Trekkie, you're probably devastated. As revealed on the official Star Trek website, the animated comedy Star Trek: Lower Decks will air its fifth season later in 2024, which, will become its finale.
At the time, Entertainment Weekly was calling Discovery “woke” for daring to feature an African-American female lead actress, somewhere Star Trek had not gone before. Now, with LOWER DECKS, we've got TWO series with lead actresses who are both Black and female.
