Star Trekmay appear as if it has peaked , but I believe more longanimity than what has been required in the last few years could reveal a brighter hereafter . Star Trek Day 2024 marks 58 years sinceStar Trek : The Original Seriespremiered . No one could have guessedStar Trekwould still be go solid in 2024 , with 13 movies , a twelve TV series , and more still on the way . Yet there seems to be a sinister cloud hang overStar Trek ’s future as the franchise downsizes through what look to be an uncertain time .

In 2022,Star Trekachieved heights it had n’t seen since the 1990s . Star Trek on Paramount+ had five series that were bona fide hits with fans . 2022 even check a new sequence ofStar Trekpremiere almost every Thursday of the calendar twelvemonth . 2023 come across the last season ofStar Trek : PicardandStar Trek : Strange New Worldsseason 2 , which ranked on Nielsen ’s pelt top 10 . But as the streaming business theoretical account change , and doer and writers went on strike , Star Trek on Paramount+ canceledStar Trek : Prodigy(which went to Netflix ) , and denote theend ofStar Trek : DiscoveryandStar Trek : Lower Decksin 2024.Where doesStar Trekgo from here ?

Star Trek is terminate series like Discovery and Lower Decks but renewed Strange New Worlds while set up Modern streaming and theatrical motion-picture show .

What Star Trek’s Immediate Future Looks Like

Fewer shows, but movies are coming back

Star Trek on Paramount+ has scaled back significantly . 2024 will end withStar Trek : Lower Decks ' final time of year , closing out the first - ever Star Trek animize drollery . WithStar Trek : Prodigypossibly not being renew by Netflix , it mark theend of a abbreviated , 4 - year gilded age ofStar Trekanimation . This is a immense shame asLower DecksandProdigyhave proven to be some of the most innovative and genuineStar Trekproduced sinceStar Trek : Discoveryreignited the dealership in 2017 .

Production onStar Trek : Prodigyseason 3 could take 2 years if Netflix renews it .

In 2025,Star Trek : Section 31premieres , as doesStar Trek : Strange New Worldsseason 3.Both projects are all Star Trek on Paramount+ has on tap next yr . Star Trek : surgical incision 31is the first made - for - streamingStar Trekmovie . Sequels and moreStar Trekstreaming films on Paramount+ flexible joint onSection 31 ’s success . Meanwhile , the popularStrange New Worldshas become Star Trek on Paramount ’s flagship series now thatStar Trek : Discoveryis over .

2026 Could Be When Star Trek’s Future Gets Brighter

Just in time for Star Trek’s 60th anniversary

2026 will likely see two Star Trek on Paramount+ series : Star Trek : Strange New Worldsseason 4 , which goes into production next yr , andStar Trek : Starfleet Academy , which just take off filming . However , Paramount Pictures , which controls theStar Trektheatrical moving-picture show , is targeting anUntitled Star Trek Originprequel motion-picture show from director Toby Haynes to hit movie screens . All of this wouldmarkStar Trek ’s 60th anniversary .

Tawny Newsome and Justin Simien are developingStar Trek ’s first alive - action at law comedy , although there is no known release date .

However , 2026 could also be when all of the rubble settle fromParamount ’s sale to Skydance . Star Trekis being understandably cautious with so much uncertainty surrounding its parent caller ’s sale . ButStar Trekis also acknowledged as a crown jewel I.P. that is highly valuable to Paramount . While 2025 may reveal what directionStar Trekwill take going ahead , a unexampled course taking the franchise into the next decade could be place by 2026 .

What I Want For Star Trek’s Future

Star Trek movies, TV, and animation need to be equal

longanimity and a clear discernment of the jerky water system of the next couple of age ought to contribute to the cloud parting andabright young day forStar Trek . I desire thatStar Trek : Strange New Worldsgets reincarnate for season 5 ; but , ideally , I wantStrange New Worldsto run for as long asexecutive producers Akiva Goldsman and Henry Alonso Myersplan for the show to run . I also hopeSection 31is a hit , andStar Trek : Starfleet Academycontinues the sheer innovation and pushing of boundary that the good ofStar Trek : Discoverydid for the dealership .

What I really desire is for Star Trek 4 to at last cave in out of development snake pit .

I would have sex forStar Trekmoviesto become a fireball again , in theatrical and in cyclosis , makingStar Treka force in both mediums . The panel is out on theStar Trekprequel pic , but I manifestly hope it ’s good . What I really require is forStar Trek quarto last break out of development hell and fetch back Chris Pine’sStar Trekcast . As for streaming movies , if that is how we can last get Captain Seven of Nine ( Jeri Ryan ) headliningStar Trek : Legacy , thencount me in for a made - for - streaming movie about the USS Enterprise - G.Of class , a full - blownStar Trek : Legacyseries would be even safe .

What a shame it would be ifStar Trek : Lower DecksandStar Trek : Prodigy ’s last gasps happened in 2024 . I dearlyhopeStar Trek : Lower Decksmoves to another cyclosis military service likeStar Trek : Prodigydid . I also hope Netflix renewsStar Trek : Prodigy , if not for season 3 , then for an animize feature . I would also likeStar Trekanimation to be given equal treatment to inhabit - actionStar Trek , and for every scene of the franchise to keep fork up the high caliber we ’ve seen in the last few years . Another golden age forStar Trekcould be right around the nook , and we can get there , but we just require to be patient asStar Trekdecides its futurity .
