STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS Season 4 Has Already Begun Production

For more than a year, Star Trek fans have been waiting patiently for the return of Strange New Worlds for a resolution to the cliffhanger finale of Season 2. While the third season of the hit show is finally set to premiere sometime this year, CBS Studios and Paramount are wasting no time getting the jump on Season 4.

Earlier this month, it was announced that production on Season 4 of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is officially underway. The announcement was accompanied by a set photo featuring Ethan Peck (Spock), Celia Rose Gooding (Uhura), and Anson Mount (Captain Christopher Pike).

Season 2 of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds aired on Paramount+ from June 2023 to August 2023. The season finale ended on a cliffhanger that evoked emotions similar to what we felt during the iconic two-part episode "The Best of Both Worlds" from Star Trek: The Next Generation. But whereas the wait between seasons of The Next Generation was just a few months, fans have been waiting for well over a year for the third season of Strange New Worlds.

To be fair, not all of the blame can be pinned on CBS or Paramount. Filming on Season 3 was supposed to begin in March 2023 but was delayed to the Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA strikes that year. Pre-production on the Season 3 didn't begin until November 2023 after both strikes ended. 

Season 3 will presumably pick right up where we left off with Captain Pike forced to make a decision between following orders and retreating or staying to rescue his captured crew from the Gorn. We're not sure exactly when Strange New Worlds will return, though we do know it will be sometime this year.

With production already started on the fourth season of the show, it hopefully means the wait between Season 3 and Season 4 won't be nearly as long as the wait we've had to endure between Seasons 2 and 3.

A spin-off from Star Trek: Discovery, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds chronicles the years Captain Christopher Pike manned the helm of the U.S.S. Enterprise. The series primarily follows Captain Pike, Science Officer Spock, Number One and the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise, in the years before Captain Kirk boarded the starship, as they explore new worlds around the galaxy.

The series stars Anson Mount as Captain Christopher Pike, Rebecca Romijn as Number One Una Chin-Riley, Ethan Peck as Spock, Jess Bush as Nurse Christine Chapel, Christina Chong as La’An Noonien-Singh, Celia Rose Gooding as Nyota Uhura, Melissa Navia as Erica Ortegas and Babs Olusanmokun as Dr. M'Benga. It was recently confirmed that Season 3 will feature guest stars Cillian O'Sullivan (In From The Cold) as Dr. Roger Korby and Rhys Darby (Jumanji: The Next Level).

Damn that clip, looks good. Don’t even need to make movies anymore if the quality is this high.

I would've taken a movie of SNW over that Section 31 garbage that had no right being made in the first place.

The first Abrams movie is what got me into Star Trek, and Strange New Worlds is the first Star Trek show I've faithfully watched, imo it's old school Trek, brought into modern era television, and executed perfectly.

Also Ethan Peck for Batman!

@MattIsForReal -

I enjoyed what I've seen of it, but I still haven't finished it yet to be honest. I haven't seen the original series with Picard, so I haven't felt as compelled to keep watching, but it is on my list of shows to dig back into whenever life permits lol

@TrentCrimm - the last season of Picard was really great, i suggest you see all of it.

Im the same with you, got hooked by the Abrams movie and i followed Star Trek since then. SNW is really great. But the episodic nature for me brings it a little lower for me than the last season of Picard.

Kurtzman is a hack. It's too bad he got Orci booted off the franchise because he was the actual fan of the two and had some legitimate talent. Trek 09 was solid as an action oriented Trek film because of Bob Orci, and yet Kurtzman failed on up.

I want Anson Mount back in the MCU, playing... the Earth-616 variant of Black Bolt?

This, Lower Decks and Picard season 3 are the best Trek content in decades. Everything else is shit. Don't even get me started on that new movie from a few months ago. If they cancel this I give up

Awesome show. I just pretend Discovery never happened.

Even Enterprise was better than it got credit for.

And Uhura looks way better with hair!

This show was surprisingly great. Really felt true to Star Trek with the right blend of seriousness & campiness.

How in the frack do they not have a season premiere date for this?!?! It’s been 2 years. Even with the writers strike that’s a long time to produce a measly 8-10 episodes. TNG used to crank out 26 episodes routinely. And don’t tell me it’s the special effects. Nobody watches Star Trek for the special effects. I’d think todays computer technology makes it easier to do special effects anyway.
