Star Trek: Strange New Worlds will wrap up after two more seasons, including the impending season four and a truncated fifth season. But the series almost ended with a two hour streaming movie, before the compromise of a six-episode final season was reached.
"We just wrapped our season 4, and it’s SO good. And six [episodes] - I don't know if I should say this, but six was a negotiation," says Star Trek: Strange New Worlds star Rebecca Romijn at the STLV: Trek to Vegas Convention (via TrekMovie). "Normally it was 10 episodes, but they offered us a two-hour movie and [co-showrunners] Akiva [Goldsman] and Henry [Alonso Myers] said we can't wrap up these storylines in just two hours. And so they got [six episodes]."
