The five-year mission of the USS Enterprise under the command of Captain Christopher Pike is coming to an end. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds has been renewed for its fifth and final season, Paramount+ announced Thursday.
Production on the final season begins later this year; Season 4 is currently in production.
The first two episodes of Season 3 premiere on Paramount+ on July 17. After that, new episodes will drop weekly on Thursdays, with the season finale premiering on September 11. IGN recently exclusively debuted the season’s latest trailer at IGN Live.
“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,” said executive producers Akiva Goldsman, Henry Alonso Myers and Alex Kurtzman in a 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.”
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, Season 3 stars Anson Mount, Rebecca Romijn, Ethan Peck, Jess Bush, Christina Chong, Celia Rose Gooding, Melissa Navia, Babs Olusanmokun and Martin Quinn, along with guest star Carol Kane and special guest star Paul Wesley.
The series is produced by CBS Studios, Secret Hideout and Roddenberry Entertainment.
