Star Trek: Strange New Worlds has been renewed for a fourth season, while Star Trek: Lower Decks will end after Season 5.

Per Variety, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds has officially been renewed for a fourth season.

“On behalf of the cast and crew of Strange New Worlds, we are thrilled and grateful to continue our voyages together,” creators Akiva Goldsman, Henry Alonso Myers, Alex Kurtzman said. “We can’t wait for you to join us and the crew of the Enterprise on another season of exploration and adventure.”

Having premiered in 2022, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds stars Anson Mount as Christopher Pike, Ethan Peck as Spock, Jess Bush as Christine Chapel, Christina Chong as La’an Noonien-Singh, Celia Rose Gooding as Nyota Uhura, and more.

The second season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds launched in June 2023, while the third season is expected to premiere in 2025.

Star Trek: Lower Decks is coming to an end

Star Trek: Lower Decks, meanwhile, is an animated series that debuted in 2020. The show has now run for four seasons, the most recent of which concluded in November 2023. The fifth and final season will be released this fall.

“We remain hopeful that even beyond Season 5, Mariner, Boimler, Tendi, Rutherford, and the whole Cerritos crew will live on with new adventures,” Kurtzman and showrunner Mike McMahon said. “While five seasons of any series these days seems like a miracle, it’s no exaggeration to say that every second we’ve spent making this show has been a dream come true.”

Jeff Grossman, the executive vice president of programming for Paramount+, added, “It has been incredibly rewarding to continue to build the Star Trek universe, and we’re so grateful to Secret Hideout and our immensely talented casts and producers. Strange New Worlds has found the perfect blend of action, adventure, and humor. Similarly, Star Trek: Lower Decks has brought the laughs with an ample amount of heart to the franchise across its four seasons. We can’t wait for audiences to see what is in store for the crew of the U.S.S. Cerritos in this final season.”
