So when does S4 start?

I haven't seen any information online. We know it hits this year. Its the last full 10 episode season we get as S5 will only have half the episodes.

Some time after SFA ends and before SNW season 5 starts.

Probably June/July 2026. Like last year.

(But yeah they won't do any pre-promotion for it until the first season of Starfleet Academy has finished streaming.)

Looking at the pattern, somewhere between mid July and late August.

I am still wondering if they’re going to show S4 and S5 back-to-back, since both seasons have finished filming, and then show SFA S2 at the end of the year, to finish off Kurtzman CBSTrek in 2026 before Skydance does their own thing.

to me in my opinion either this summer or next year around the winter time

That makes a lot of sense. I say just fold S4 and S5 together since its only 15 episodes. Then I can cancel my sub again for the last time and wait for the 4K releases.

Well, it only makes sense if CBS is hurriedly trying to end their iteration of Star Trek before the end of 2026. I'm not saying that's actually the case, but there's evidence that this is their modus. CBS originally only wanted to do a 2 hour TV movie as the 5th season once SNW was cancelled, before relenting to the producers and giving them a shortened 6 episode final season. They are also currently filming SFA season 2 right on the coatttails of S1, which seems to me to be far sooner than normal. That smacks to me of trying to end CBSTrek as quickly as possible.

I really don't see the seasons airing back to back, as that would mess up branding, unless they decide to rebrand both as one season. Now, they could have a gap of only a few months and still air the fifth by the end of this year, but I personally have doubts. But it could happen.

It was 6 months between the end of Season 1 filming and Season 2 filming starting, which is about a normal length for the modern Trek shows.
