Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 3 is yet to premiere nearly two years after the Season 2 finale and a fourth season is currently in production. However, a major update has been revealed about the future of the series.It looks like Captain Christopher Pike and his crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise will be getting a fifth season. Per Trek Central, a listing in the Writers Guild of America West states that Strange New Worlds Season 5 is in the works. The news comes as Season 4 was confirmed and began filming in early 2025. However, it remains to be seen whether the fifth season will close out the series, like Star Trek: Discovery and Star Trek: Lower Decks, which both ended after five seasons on Paramount+.
Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and Star Trek: Voyager all ran for seven seasons. The odd ones out were Star Trek: Enterprise, which ended abruptly after four seasons, and the animated Star Trek: Prodigy, which seemingly has been canceled after two seasons. The 1970s' Star Trek: The Animated Series also ran for two seasons from 1973 to 1975.
However, Paramount has not officially confirmed a fifth season for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, which stars Anson Mount, Rebecca Romijn, Ethan Peck, Christina Chong, Melissa Navia, Jess Bush, Celia Rose Gooding, Babs Olusanmokun, Carol Kane, Martin Quinn, and Melanie Scrofano.

Season 3 Promises New Adventures For The Crew
A new trailer teasing Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 3 was recently released and shows a bit of what fans can expect when the show premieres in July. The story is set to pick up with the conclusion of the battle with the Gorn, which ended Season 2. It also features James T. Kirk (Paul Wesley) in command of the Enterprise, and a comical encounter between Ethan Peck’s Spock and guest star Patton Oswalt’s Vulcan character.

Enterprise, still under the command of Captain Pike, they face the conclusion of Season 2’s harrowing encounter with the Gorn," Paramount’s official summary of Strange New Worlds states.
"But new life and civilizations await, including a villain that will test our characters’ grit and resolve. An exciting twist on classic Star Trek, Season 3 takes characters both new and beloved to new heights, and dives into thrilling adventures of faith, duty, romance, comedy, and mystery, with varying genres never before seen on any other Star Trek."
