Star Trek TV Hits First Production Lull in a Decade After Starfleet Academy Season 2 Wraps

New orders await decisions tied to the Paramount Skydance–Warner Bros. Discovery merger.

Overview

  • For the first time since 2015, no Star Trek television series is in production or officially greenlit.
  • Starfleet Academy season 2 has finished filming in Toronto, and producers said the finale was not designed as a series end.
  • Strange New Worlds season 4 wrapped last summer and is expected later this year, with its filmed fifth season slated for 2027.
  • Franchise overseer Alex Kurtzman’s contract is up this year, and he has said he plans to discuss the future and is hopeful.
  • Paramount CEO David Ellison signaled continued investment in new content on the merger call, as at least one pitch—Tawny Newsome and Justin Simien’s live-action workplace comedy—awaits a decision.
