Overview

  • Paramount+ has greenlit a six-episode fifth and final season of Strange New Worlds with production set to begin imminently for a mid-2026 release.
  • The shortened order reflects broader cost-cutting measures at Paramount+ following its merger with Skydance.
  • Season 4 wrapped filming in July after showrunners juggled production on Season 4 and Season 5 alongside Season 3 press commitments.
  • Co-showrunner Henry Alonso Myers said the compressed schedule leaves cast members with only five weeks of downtime before the final episodes.
  • At San Diego Comic-Con, executive producers pitched a speculative follow-up titled Star Trek: Year One to explore Kirk’s Enterprise pending studio approval.
