"Then again, some might say that Strange New Worlds really began at the end of Discovery Season 1 in 2018, with the appearance of Captain Pike's USS Enterprise. Even more so in 2019, when Pike (Anson Mount), Spock (Ethan Peck), and Number One (Rebecca Romijn) became more central to the story, both in that season, and in a series of Short Treks, which felt like a proof-of-concept for Strange New Worlds."
"This seems to suggest that one-off holodeck episodes, or musicals, or even the upcoming Season 4 puppet episode (see the above trailer), will not be the norm among the 16 new episodes left of Strange New Worlds. Instead, Goldsman has made it clear that the outro for Strange New Worlds will consist of what most fans expect of the series. Or, as Goldsman puts it: "much more singular sci-fi, action-adventure, emotional storytelling.""
Season 5 of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is currently filming and will conclude the series in 2027 after a five-season run. The narrative origins trace back to Discovery Season 1 (2018) and the 2019 episodes and Short Treks that elevated Captain Pike, Spock, and Number One. The remaining 16 episodes will prioritize core, singular science-fiction, action-adventure, and emotional storytelling rather than frequent experimental outliers such as holodeck episodes, musicals, or novelty installments like a puppet episode. Season 4 serves as the final regular season; Season 5 will be a six-part bridge aligning Strange New Worlds with the timeline of The Original Series and Kirk's first day of command.
