Which has been talked about for a year. Still no greenlight. And I don't expect one.
‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Renewed for Fifth and Final Season
- Thread starter Precious Tritium
- Start date
Season 2 could have ticked over in 2260 (it only really has to be 2259 in episode 4) and if the finale of season 3 is the centennary then it could only just be 2261 then. A celebration of the whole year not the exact date.
The timeline still adds up without any massive need for skips, it just isnt as cleanly cut as it used to be. But then we had 3 seasons of lower decks all in 2381

The real Canary in the coal mine will be if there's no announcements of future shows for a while, once the sale / merger with Skydance goes through. If it goes through and we hear nothing but crickets about the Tawny Newsome show, or A Janeway show, or even God damn "Legacy." Then I think we might be in for similar situation to 2005.
That’s why I’m happy we’re getting the Trek we’re getting at all, because that might be it for a while.
It’s still regrettable that Netflix completely unmade the television industry and put us in this situation where seasons are too short, and wait time between them are too long.
I’m assuming that CBS allowed them to have a truncated final season rather than cancel it after season 4 on whatever cliffhanger they came up with.
After season 2 of Discovery if you had offered me 46 episodes of Pike, Spock and Number 1 on the Enterprise I'd have been delighted, so, assuming the quality stays the same, I'll take it.
Not yet.
The second is Starfleet Scouts which I think was actually confirmed to be picked up, I'm not sure.
Thats not really a show though. I dont imagine youtube shorts count.
Oh right, how did I forget about that part
I’m guessing they go with this.
All I ask for the finale is for them to leave it open ended ala TNG (and Disco & LD to an extent). No “the band is breaking up” like DS9, Voyager and Enterprise. No rehash of Pikes accident, no remake of The Menagerie, no passing the baton to Kirk, etc…
Just have them finish the mission they are on, have Pike say “hit it” and warp into credits.
One thing to keep in mind is the plausible time frame for this series was always limited due to Kirk taking command eventually.
Hell, you could have boundless optimism here and presume a full TOS reboot will be announced after the Season 5 finale. Technically a new show, but all the same sets and with many continuing cast members.

More like streaming not being the gold mine people thought it would be. Star Wars is in the same conundrum .
Yup, I feel the same way. Burn me once, shame on you.
I expected it to end with five seasons but just six episodes? That's a bit disappointing.
The idea was sort of touched upon in here. It would be great if we actually got something like that.
Time will tell...
I haven’t, really, no. It doesn’t strike me as remotely likely. But that doesn’t mean I regard it as flat-out impossible. That would rule!
I'm not at all shocked the show is ending with the fifth season, I've been consistently predicting as much for years now. The final season only getting six episodes is a bit of a surprise and a disappointment. But oh well. SNW will still be on the air until 2027 and I intend to enjoy the ever loving hell out of it until it ends.
