Could the Star Trek franchise be heading for another prequel? Amid its Skydance merger, Paramount’s Star Trek commitment appears safe. In fact, all reports suggest that the merger will make the Trek franchise a major priority. In terms of streaming TV, we already know that Starfleet Academy is coming in 2026, Strange New Worlds Season 4 will follow it, and that Strange New Worlds Season 5 will likely conclude the series in 2027.
In addition to those confirmed shows, a former Trek star and producer has a pitch for something completely different. Twenty years after the prequel series Star Trek: Enterprise ended in 2005, writer-producer Mike Sussman is talking about an idea for a sequel series, which he developed with Scott Bakula, about what happened to Captain Archer after he became President of the United Federation of Planets.
