Star Trek: Strange New Worlds dropped a trailer ahead of its return on the 2026 TV schedule, and we got a better look at what to expect in Season 4. I also got a reason to believe that a spinoff fans really want should happen. So, after seeing more of the dinosaur and other exciting moments, I need to talk about a simple scene between James T. Kirk and Spock that made me confident a spinoff is a good idea.
While we still have one more season of Strange New Worlds to enjoy with a Paramount+ subscription after Season 4 wraps, there are no in-development shows on the horizon. There is, however, a pitch from the showrunners to do a spinoff centered around Paul Wesley's Kirk as head of the Enterprise, and I'm officially sold on the idea after seeing he and Peck's Spock gel in the latest trailer, which you can see below.
