If you are like me, then you have been anxiously waiting for season 4 of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. Well, now we know when the Star Trek prequel returns to Paramount+.
In season four, the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise – led by Captain Christopher Pike (Anson Mount) – embark on a series of thrilling and emotional adventures across the stars. As they journey to strange new worlds, they will battle inner demons and external threats, encounter colorful new characters, reunite with familiar faces and confront terrifying aliens. Through it all, they strive to embrace a bright, hopeful future.
The season premieres on July 23rd, and new episodes will drop every Thursday until September 24th.
SNW was already picked up for a fifth and final season.
The good news is that CBS picked up CIA for a second season. And it was a long road to get there. Dick Wolf’s latest drama, which stars Tom Ellis and Nick Gehlfuss, lost showrunners and cast members before the premiere, which was delayed almost a year. However, enough people are watching, so the network is staying with it.
Meanwhile, Paramount+ recently picked up Star Trek: Starfleet Academy for a second season, only to announce today it will be its last.
“We’re incredibly proud of the ambition, passion, and creativity that went into bringing ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ to life,” CBS Studios and Paramount+ said in a joint statement to Variety. “The series introduced audiences to a bold new group of characters, welcomed familiar faces, and expanded the ‘Star Trek’ universe in exciting new ways. We’re grateful to Alex Kurtzman, Noga Landau, Gaia Violo, and the entire cast and crew who pushed storytelling boundaries in the spirit of Gene Roddenberry’s vision. We look forward to sharing the upcoming second and final season with everyone, and continuing to celebrate the cast, crew, and all that was accomplished with this series.”
Over the summer, we watched season 3 of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds on Paramount+. And we want to know what is going to happen next.
In the upcoming fourth season, the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise—led by Captain Christopher Pike—embarks on a series of thrilling and emotional adventures across the stars. As they journey to strange new worlds, they will battle inner demons and external threats, encounter colorful new characters, reunite with familiar faces, and confront terrifying aliens. Through it all, they strive to embrace a bright, hopeful future.
Yesterday, during New York Comic Con, Paramount+ released a clip from season 4. And wow!
As I watched it. I thought to myself, I bet they wish they had special effects like that when they made the OG Star Trek.
But that was almost 60 years ago (Can you believe it turns 60 next September?), and their special effects were so crude as compared to now. In ways, that is what makes it so special, even in today’s standards. Plus, they predicted some of the technology that we currently have.
Season 4 has wrapped production, but it does not have a premiere date.
Before Clint Howard roasted William Shatner at the Comedy Central Roast of William Shatner, he played the role that he roasted him as on Star Trek. How brilliant was the 7-year-old in that 1966 episode?
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is not afraid to go to strange new worlds. They have already done a musical episode and a crossover with the animated Star Trek: Lower Decks. In season 4, they are going to become dummies, as in puppets.
And I am here for it! Granted, we just started the third season on Paramount+, so we will have to wait a while to see this episode.
Here is a fun fact about the episode: the puppets were created by Jim Henson’s Creature Shop, and it is directed by Jordan Canning, who also directed Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock.
