Overview
- Jane Wiseman, Paramount+’s EVP and head of originals, told Deadline that the service remains “the home of Star Trek” and that “we have series coming back,” in comments reported across outlets this week.
- Paramount+ has hired Chris Parnell to its Originals team as a lead creative and longtime Trek fan to help guide development and shape pitches from writers.
- Executives say they are actively talking to many writers and are working with CBS Studios to determine what the next TV version of Star Trek should be, though no new series are currently in production.
- Paramount Pictures is pursuing a separate Star Trek movie written by Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley, but that film has not been greenlit and remains a distinct effort from the streamer’s TV plans.
- For now the franchise faces a short production lull as existing shows finish: Strange New Worlds season 4 is airing, a truncated fifth season has been filmed as the finale, and Starfleet Academy’s second season will still air despite the series’ cancellation, creating a near-term gap in new Trek releases and heightening fan attention on development progress.
