Star Trek It may seem like it has a peak, but I believe that more patience than what has been required in recent years can reveal a brighter future. Star Trek Day 2024 is 58 years since Star Trek: The Original Series Premiere. No one could guess Star Trek would still be going strong in 2024, with 13 movies, a dozen TV series and more still on the way. Still there seems to be a dark cloud hanging over Star Treks future as the franchise downsizes through what looks to be an uncertain time.
in 2022, Star Trek reached heights it had not seen since the 1990s. Star Trek on Paramount+ had five series that were bona fide hits with fans. 2022 even saw a new episode of Star Trek Premiere almost every Thursday of the calendar year. 2023 was the last season of Star Trek: Picard And Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 2, which ranked on Nielsen’s streaming top 10. But as the streaming business model changed, and actors and writers went on strike, Star Trek on Paramount + canceled Star Trek: Prodigy (which went to Netflix), and announced the end of Star Trek: Discovery And Star Trek: Lower Decks in 2024. where does Star Trek go from here?

This is a great shame Lower decks And Prodigy have proven to be some of the most innovative and authentic Star Trek Produced since Star Trek: Discovery Reigned the franchise in 2017.
in 2025, Star Trek: Episode 31 Premieres, as does Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 3. Both projects are all Star Trek on Paramount + has on tap next year.

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 Worlds Season 4, which goes into production next year, and Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, Which just started filming. However, Paramount Pictures, which controls the Star Trek Theater movies, is targeting a Untitled Star Trek Origin Prequel movie from director Toby Haynes to hit movie screens. All this would Sign Stars TreK’s 60th anniversary.
However, 2026 could also be when all the dust settles Paramount’s sale to Skydance. Star Trek is understandably wary with so much uncertainty surrounding its parent company’s sale. But Star Trek is also acknowledged as a crown jewel IP that is extremely valuable to Paramount. While 2025 may reveal which direction Star Trek Going forward, a new course that will take the franchise into the next decade could be set by 2026.
What I want for the future of Star Trek
Star Trek movies, TV and animation need to be equal
Patience and a clear understanding of the choppy waters of the next couple of years should lead to the clouds parting and A Bright new day for Star Trek. I hope so Star Trek: Strange New Worlds being renewed for season 5; But, ideally, I want to Strange New Worlds to run as long as executive producers Akiba Goldsman and Henry Alonso Myers plan to run the show. I hope so too Section 31 is a hit, and Star Trek: Starfleet Academy Keeps the bold innovation and pushing of boundaries that the best of Star Trek: Discovery Done for the franchise.
What I really want is for Star Trek 4 to finally break out of development hell.
I would love for Star Trek Movies to become a force again, in theaters and in streaming, making Star Trek A force in both mediums. The jury is out on these Star Trek Prequel movie, but I sure hope it’s good. What I really want is for Star Trek 4 To finally break out of development hell and bring back Chris Pine’s Star Trek Figure. As for streaming movies, if this is how we can finally get Captain Seven of Nine (Jerry Ryan) headlining Star Trek: Legacy, Then Count me in for a made-for-streaming movie about the USS Enterprise-G. Of course, a full-blown one Star Trek: Legacy Series would be even better.
What a shame it would be if Star Trek: Lower Decks And Star Trek: Prodigy‘s last gasps happened in 2024. I love hope Star Trek: Lower Decks Move to another streaming service like Star Trek: Prodigy did. I also hope that Netflix renews Star Trek: Prodigy, If not for season 3, then for an animated feature. I would like too Star Trek Animation to be given equal treatment to live-action Star TrekAnd for every aspect of the franchise to continue delivering the high quality we’ve seen over the past few years. Another golden age for Star Trek Could be right around the corner, and we can get there, but we just need to be patient like Star Trek decides its future.
