Rejoice, Trekkers: “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds” gets to boldly go where the original “Star Trek” couldn’t and actually complete its five-year mission to seek out new life and new civilizations. With another month to go before the premiere of Season 3, the critically acclaimed Paramount+ series has been renewed for a fifth and final season.

Which means, yes, as of this writing you have 3 more seasons of the excellent “Trek” prequel series to look forward to in the coming years.

“From the very beginning, ‘Strange New Worlds’ set out to honor what ‘Star Trek’ has always stood for — boundless curiosity, hope and the belief that a better future is possible. We’re deeply grateful to Paramount+ for the chance to complete our five-season mission, just as we envisioned it, alongside our extraordinary cast and crew. And to the passionate fans who’ve boldly joined us on this journey — THANK YOU.
