Strange New Worlds Wraps Final Season, Casts Thomas Jane as Bones and Kai Murakami as Sulu

The finale brings the Enterprise to the cusp of The Original Series timeline, positioning the prequel’s conclusion as a natural handoff point.

Overview

  • Paramount+ confirmed Thomas Jane as Dr. Leonard “Bones” McCoy and Kai Murakami as Hikaru Sulu for the series finale of Season 5.
  • Filming on the fifth and final season has concluded, with cast and crew marking the last “cut” on social media posts.
  • The pair will appear only in the final episode, which is built to align the series with the era depicted in The Original Series.
  • The closing season comprises six episodes, with premiere dates for Seasons 4 and 5 still unannounced and releases expected in 2026 and likely 2027, respectively.
  • Showrunners have floated a potential Kirk-focused “Year One” follow-up as an idea, though no sequel has been ordered.
