Star Trek has ended some shows since its revival, but it keeps on chugging along with more for fans to look forward to. Fans with a Paramount+ subscription can stream a plethora of old and new content from one of the greatest sci-fi franchises of all time.
There’s a ton of new Star Trek content coming in the future. For those who need a breakdown of what all to expect, look no further because here’s where and when all the new Trek will arrive in 2024 and beyond. There’s even some information on planned shows that aren’t quite ready yet, but hopefully, we’ll see them soon enough.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 3 - Coming In 2025
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds was renewed for Season 3, but due to the various strikes that happened after Season 2, the release schedule was thrown off. As such, Season 3 wrapped production in May 2024, and will premiere in 2025. While that’s quite a gap between when Season 2 ended, fans can take solace in the fact that they shouldn’t have to wait that length of time between Season 3 and 4. When Paul Wesley confirmed he was returning as James T. Kirk for Season 4, he also revealed production kicks off for the season in February 2025. Given that, I don’t think we’ll be waiting too long into 2026 before watching Season 4 of this exciting TOS-era series.
Section 31 Movie - Coming in 2025
Section 31 was one of the first Star Trek spinoffs announced after Discovery, and yet it took the longest to get off the ground. The series was supposed to be about Michelle Yeoh’s Phillipa Georgiou and her efforts in the secret ops Starfleet faction that does the jobs that others in the organization would rather not know about. Other former Discovery stars, like Shazad Latif, were involved at one point, but some believed the odds of it happening aren't great after Michelle Yeoh's Oscar win.
It turns out Yeoh was interested in making it happen, and Paramount+ decided to alter the idea to a movie. Fans are excited about the project all the same, especially after seeing the action-packed trailer and stars like Sam Richardson in the mix.
Starfleet Academy - Production Underway
Alex Kurtzman revealed long ago that Star Trek is actively working on another new live-action series, and it’s going to be set at Starfleet Academy. We’ve since learned the show will take place in the 32nd-century era of the Prime Timeline, around the same time as Discovery’s final seasons. We also know the series will bring in a talented cast with a mixture of new and legacy actors from the franchise. Production is currently underway, and Season 1 is expected to be ten episodes. We’re still waiting on an official release date for the series, but I wouldn’t think it’ll premiere before late 2025 or even early 2026.
Untitled Star Trek Live-Action Comedy - In Development
In a surprise announcement at San Diego Comic-Con 2024, Star Trek: Lower Decks actress and Starfleet Academy writer Tawny Newsome announced she and Dear White People creator Justin Simien were making a live-action comedy series for the franchise. Variety reported that the series will be set in the 25th century, and follow two people who learn that their day-to-day lives working on a resort planet are being broadcast to an entire quadrant and its people. It’s an interesting premise off the beaten path from what Star Trek typically offers, so I’m curious to see how it’ll turn out.
As shown above, there’s still a ton of Star Trek on the way in 2024, and beyond. The only way to watch these shows is on Paramount+, which is totally worth picking up with the increasing amount of shows and movies available to watch.
