Paramount+ celebrates Star Trek Day 2022. Other than the second half of Prodigy season 2, none of the other Trek shows have been officially given new seasons, meaning there is no announced production for the continuing series or any new ones. In last January’s announcement, Alex Kurtzman (the executive producer in charge of Trek TV for Paramount) stated, “Now our current shows are set up for the future as we work to build Trek’s’ next phase of programming for years to come.” What this future looks like remains an open question. On the animation side, Paramount+ will release the fourth season of Lower Decks and the first half (10 episodes) of Prodigy season 2. In addition to the third and final season of Picard, this year will see the second season of Strange New Worlds and the fifth season of Discovery. Peak Trek in 2023Ģ0 are a fulfillment of a vision outlined in the early days of CBS All Access (now called Paramount+), when executives talked of year-round Star Trek on the streaming platform. As we await the announcement, TrekMovie is taking a look at the state of Star Trek TV and how market forces may impact the future of the franchise. The anticipated announcement for their 2023 Star Trek TV schedule should also include news on the future of the current series, along with the possibility of new Trek shows. It was over thirteen months ago that Paramount+ made a big announcement outlining their 20 plans for Star Trek, which included additional seasons for all five Trek shows. Paramount has confirmed they will be cutting back spending on content overall as the media industry moves into a new phase of the streaming era. However, the future of original Star Trek television going into 2024 and beyond has yet to be confirmed. Paramount+ has yet to unveil when each show will arrive, but we are expecting an announcement soon regarding that 2023 Trek schedule. New seasons from all four other shows are coming in 2023. The third (and final) season of Picard is just the start of another big year for original Star Trek content on Paramount+.
