Paramount+ has officially set a course for the final frontier of ‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds‘, announcing the sci-fi series will conclude its five-year mission with a fifth and final season.
The news arrives just ahead of the Season 3 premiere, which kicks off with a two-episode launch on Thursday, 17th July 2025, exclusively on Paramount+ in the UK and USA. New episodes will then follow weekly every Thursday through to the season finale on Thursday, 11th September. Season 4 is currently in production, while Season 5, consisting of six episodes, is set to begin filming later this year.
In a joint statement, executive producers Akiva Goldsman, Henry Alonso Myers, and Alex Kurtzman reflected on the journey:
“From the very beginning, Strange New Worlds set out to honor what Star Trek has always stood for — boundless curiosity, hope and the belief that a better future is possible. We’re deeply grateful to Paramount+ for the chance to complete our five-season mission, just as we envisioned it, alongside our extraordinary cast and crew. And to the passionate fans who’ve boldly joined us on this journey — THANK YOU. With three more spectacular seasons ahead for you to see and enjoy, this adventure is far from over.”
