Strange New Worlds Team Formally Pitches 'Star Trek: Year One' as Paramount Weighs Next Steps

Two finished seasons awaiting release leave a narrow window to keep existing Enterprise sets in place.

Overview

  • Co-showrunner Henry Alonso Myers says the Year One concept has been officially presented to Paramount/Skydance and is under evaluation without a green light.
  • The proposed series would pick up directly after Strange New Worlds, centering on Paul Wesley’s Captain Kirk aboard the USS Enterprise with several cast members expected to continue.
  • Strange New Worlds has two completed seasons still to air, with the fifth and final season wrapping production in December and post‑production ongoing.
  • The production’s Enterprise sets at CBS Stages Canada remain intact for now, and the studio must decide whether to retain them, a choice that could significantly affect restart costs.
  • With no new Trek series currently confirmed, the decision on Year One comes as Starfleet Academy finishes a season and the franchise’s next TV moves are being assessed.
