Strange New Worlds and Starfleet Academy Sets Dismantled, ‘Year One’ Spinoff in Doubt

The move signals Paramount’s focus on feature films over new TV.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets reported Friday that crews have begun taking down the primary sets for Strange New Worlds and Starfleet Academy in Canada, citing Trek Central posts from April 8.
  • Local auction plans for pieces from the sets were also reported, which in industry practice signals no near‑term reuse of those assets.
  • Reporters say the teardown makes the proposed Star Trek: Year One series, pitched as a Kirk prequel led by Paul Wesley, unlikely to proceed, though no cancellation has been announced.
  • Gizmodo reports Strange New Worlds will conclude with a shortened fifth season and Starfleet Academy is slated to end after one more season, leaving no confirmed successor series.
  • Coverage ties the TV pullback to Paramount’s corporate reshuffle and renewed push for films, with Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley attached to a new movie project.
