What to Expect from Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Seasons 4 and 5?
Paramount+ has dropped the official teaser trailer for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 4, teasing a return to intergalactic exploration.
The clip features visits to a prehistoric planet of dinosaurs and even a chance for Captain Christopher Pike to rise to the challenge.
In addition, the new season is set to continue Season 3’s genre-bending “big swings,” including a puppet episode. But those aren’t the only things happening.
“I think it has a bit of kind of final boss energy,” Celia Rose Gooding told TrekMovie. “We’re going to the farthest extreme of the strangeness and the newness.”
However, the cast doesn’t only speak about Season 4; they also tease what to expect from Strange New Worlds Season 5. If Season 4 is described as the best, the same applies to Season 5.
“I think Seasons 4 and 5 are the best,” Rebecca Romijn revealed. “I think we’re all so comfortable in our characters at this point and our relationships with each other.”
Paul Wesley added that they have the storywriting to thank for the quality of the upcoming seasons.
“I also think the writing has always been spectacular, but there’s something about how the episodes roll into one another in Seasons 4 and 5 that is just really compelling,” he explained.
Gooding also claimed the final two seasons of the show would be “impactful and dynamic.”
