Our Take On Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Fifth & Final Season
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is nearing the end of its “five-year mission” on Paramount+. Executive producers and co-showrunners Akiva Goldsman and Henry Alonso Myers plan to take Strange New Worlds to the cusp of Star Trek: The Original Series with Captain James T. Kirk (Paul Wesley) taking command of the USS Enterprise from Captain Christopher Pike (Anson Mount).
If Goldsman and Myers get their wish, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds would spawn a spinoff dubbed Star Trek: Year One, telling new stories about James T. Kirk and Mr. Spock’s (Ethan Peck) first voyages commanding the Starship Enterprise. However, this is merely an idea that Strange New Worlds‘ executive producers plan to pitch to Paramount Skydance.
While Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 5 only spans six episodes, Jordan Canning back to helm one of the crucial final hours of the prequel is exciting and comforting. Canning’s episodes are among Star Trek: Strange New Worlds‘ best, with the director always showcasing her affinity for humor, heart, and poignant character development.
