Star Trek Is Spread Out Across 3 Streaming Services Now - Where To Watch

Star trek's multiverse: 3 timelines updated with every tv show & movie (so far), star trek’s 10 greatest klingons.

• Star Trek on Paramount+'s Discovery and Lower Decks are both ending in 2024 with each show's season 5.
• Paramount+ is rethinking its Star Trek strategy, focusing on made-for-streaming movies and only two live-action series.
• The future still looks bright for Star Trek despite these changes, with new Star Trek theatrical movies in development.

Star Trek 's upcoming TV and movie slate will have fewer series but new theatrical and made-for-streaming movies. 2022 was a remarkable year that saw a new episode from 5 new Star Trek series streaming on Paramount+ nearly every Thursday of the year. 2023 saw the critically acclaimed ending of Star Trek: Picard, the lauded Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 2, and Star Trek: Lower Decks season 4, perhaps the best run of the animated comedy yet.

Star Trek is in a transitional period in 2024. Star Trek: Discovery and Star Trek: Lower Decks are both ending with season 5 , while Star Trek: Prodigy moved to Netflix. Reflecting industry-wide changes in streaming content, Paramount+ is rethinking its Star Trek strategy , starting with an expansion into made-for-streaming movies that are designed to feel like blockbuster events. Paramount Pictures' Star Trek movies are also showing signs of life, at last. While another moment of change seems imminent for the franchise, the future still looks bright for Star Trek .

A made-for-streaming on Paramount+ movie for Star Trek: Picard 's proposed spinoff, Star Trek: Legacy , is reportedly under consideration.

The Star Trek franchise is split across three different streaming services in 2024. Here's where to watch your favorite Star Trek movies and shows.

8 Star Trek: Discovery Season 5

The final season of the star trek series that began a new paramount+ era..

Star Trek: Discovery season 5 is the show's final season . Star Trek: Discovery has a devoted fan base and should always be remembered as the show that saved Star Trek to ignite the franchise's renaissance . However, Discovery is also now an older series - five seasons for a streaming show is a minor miracle in our current TV era - which means it's getting more expensive to produce at a time where streamers are looking to cut costs. This is likely a contributing factor to Paramount+ closing the curtain on Star Trek: Discovery.

Initially not designed to be the final season, Star Trek: Discovery season 5 is a reset to a more adventurous tone as Captain Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) and the USS Discovery go on an intergalactic treasure hunt, running afoul of various new aliens adversaries. Reshoots conducted in spring 2023 added a poignant epilogue that brings closure to Star Trek; Discovery . Following its March world premiere at SXSW, Star Trek: Discovery 's final 10 episodes are streaming on Paramount+ in April and May 2024.

The two-part series finale of Star Trek: Discovery is directed by Jonathan Frakes and Olatunde Osunsanmi.

7 Star Trek: Lower Decks Season 5

The final season premieres fall 2024 on paramount+..

Star Trek: Lower Decks is the only other Star Trek series on Paramount+'s 2024 schedule, and it's also delivering its fifth and final season. Mike McMahan's animated comedy was creatively firing full phaser banks in Lower Decks season 4, promoting the Lower Deckers of the USS Cerritos to junior grade Lieutenants, homaging Star Trek: Voyager' s "Tuvix," visiting Star Trek: Deep Space Nine 's new Ferengi Grand Nagus, and tying Lt. Beckett Mariner's (Tawny Newsome) backstory to the animated show's namesake, the classic Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Lower Decks". Star Trek: Lower Decks has won over fans as a definitive and very appreciated part of the Star Trek franchise.

Tawny Newsome and Jack Quaid played Ensigns Beckett Mariner and Brad Boimler in live-action in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds ' comedic crossover episode.

Unfortunately, Paramount+ has opted to end Star Trek: Lower Decks with season 5 , which premieres in fall 2024. This comes as a huge disappointment, especially considering how relatively inexpensive Lower Decks is to produce compared to Paramount+'s live-action Star Trek series. While a fan campaign has begun to save Star Trek: Lower Deck s, and there is preliminary talk of finding the animated comedy a new steaming home, the best way to boost Star Trek: Lower Decks' profile is to stream the previous four seasons and season 5 when it premieres in great numbers.

6 Star Trek: Prodigy Season 2

Premiering on netflix in 2024.

Star Trek: Prodigy rallied ardent fan support to secure Netflix as its new streaming home after Paramount+ unexpectedly canceled the beloved all-ages CGI animated series. Netflix released all 20 episodes of Star Trek: Prodigy season 1 on Christmas Day 2023, and it quickly charted in the Top 10 Kids shows, which bodes well for the yet unspecified 2024 release of Star Trek: Prodigy season 2 .

The next 20 episodes of Star Trek: Prodigy season 2 launch Admiral Kathryn Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) and the heroic alien teenage crew of the USS Protostar, now Starfleet warrant officers, on a new time travel rescue mission aboard the USS Voyager-A. Star Trek: Prodigy season 2 promises to be even more epic and will tap into every other iteration of Star Trek in the franchise.

The Doctor (Robert Picardo) from Star Trek: Voyager joins Star Trek: Prodigy season 2, and he's just one of many surprise guest stars and callbacks.

5 Star Trek: Section 31

The first made-for-streaming on paramount+ star trek movie.

Long discussed as the premise for an ongoing series, Star Trek: Section 31 is now the first Star Trek original movie for Paramount+ . Star Trek : Section 31 is said to delve into the origin and secrets of Starfleet's insidious black ops agency. Star Trek: Section 31 will star Academy Award-winner Michelle Yeoh reprising her anti-heroine Emperor Philippa Georgiou, the former ruler of the Mirror Universe. Once a ruthless despot, Georgiou's time in Star Trek' s Prime universe with Michael Burnham taught her compassion, although Georgiou remains crafty and dangerous.

Star Trek: Section 31 wrapped filming in March 2024, and what's revealed about the film indicates it will be set in Star Trek 's "lost era" of the 24th century before Star Trek: The Next Generation . Excitingly, Section 31 's characters include a young version of Rachel Garrett (Kacey Rohl), the future Captain of the USS Enterprise-C. Star Trek: Section 31 is directed by Olatunde Osunsanmi from a screenplay by Craig Sweeny, and is expected to release in late 2024 or 2025 on Paramount+.

Star Trek: Section 31 is hopefully the first of a new wave of made-for-Paramount+ Star Trek movies to be released every 2 years.

Star Trek's Multiverse includes 3 timelines spanning from Enterprise's 22nd century to Discovery's 32nd century - now updated for 2024.

4 Star Trek: Starfleet Academy

The next star trek tv series is in development at paramount+.

Star Trek: Starfleet Academy was officially announced in early 2023. While details about the YA-aimed series, developed by Star Trek executive producer Alex Kurtzman and Nancy Drew writer Noga Landau, are under wraps, it's confirmed that Starfleet Academy will be set in the post- Star Trek: Discovery 32nd century and will spotlight a diverse assortment of alien and human teenage Cadets, with possible guest starring roles from familiar Discovery faces .

Starfleet Academy will film on the largest set ever built for Star Trek , and will return the school to its original Earth location of San Francisco after the Academy reopened in outer space in Star Trek: Discovery season 3. Kurtzman has also hinted at Starfleet Academy 's young characters questioning the decisions and even fixing the mistakes of past Starfleet Officers. Star Trek: Starfleet Academy will begin filming in late summer 2024, although the series may not premiere on Paramount+ until 2026.

Star Trek: Lower Decks ' Tawny Newsome, a self-described Star Trek "continuity cop," is part of Starfleet Academy's writer's room.

3 Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 3 & 4

Strange new worlds is getting two more seasons..

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 3 finally began production in December 2023 after being delayed 7 months by the combined WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. The next 10 episodes of Strange New Worlds are slated to film until May 2024. While Strange New Worlds season 3's premiere will pick up and resolve the Gorn cliffhanger of Strange New Worlds season 2 finale , season 3's episodes will see the return of directors Chris Fisher, Valerie Weiss, Dan Liu, Jordan Canning, and Jonathan Frakes, who is directing a Hollywood noir episode.

Jonathan Frakes calls his Strange New Worlds season 3 hour "the best episode of television I've ever done."

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 3 will debut a new Science Lab set on the USS Enterprise , and Lt. Spock (Ethan Peck) wears a new hazmat suit in a photo released to promote season 3. Excitingly, Paramount+ gave Star Trek: Strange New Worlds an early season 4 renewal , which essentially makes the series the new flagship of Star Trek on Paramount+ after Star Trek: Discovery bows out. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 3 is expected to premiere on Paramount+ in 2025, although fans want to see the new episodes as soon as possible.

2 Untitled Star Trek Origin Movie

Premiering in theaters in 2025.

Paramount Pictures officially announced an Untitled Star Trek Origin Movie for a targeted 2025 premiere in theaters. Directed by Toby Haynes, who directed Star Wars: Andor and the "USS Callister" episode of Black Mirror, the Star Trek Origin movie is written by Seth Grahame-Smith ( Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter) . The Star Trek Origin Movie is produced by J.J. Abrams and is set "decades before" Abrams' Star Trek (2009) . When, exactly, in the Star Trek timeline the origin movie is set, and what characters or starship it will be about, is all under wraps.

1 Star Trek 4

The final chapter of chris pine's starship enterprise crew is in development..

Nearly a decade after Star Trek Beyond was released in 2016, Star Trek 4 is seeing progress toward becoming a reality . Billed as the "final chapter" of J.J. Abrams' Star Trek , the fourth film about the USS Enterprise led by Chris Pine's Captain James T. Kirk has a new screenwriter in Steve Yockey ( The Flight Attendant) . No director for Star Trek 4 has been named, but fingers are crossed that the Starship Enterprise of the alternate Kelvin Timeline will finally make its big-screen return. Star Trek 4 possibly releasing in 2026 would be an ideal way to mark Star Trek 's 60th anniversary.

Every Star Trek series except Star Trek: Prodigy is streaming on Paramount+.

New Star Trek shows: every future series, from Strange New Worlds to Lower Decks

From Lower Decks to Strange New Worlds, what's coming up?

It's a rich time for new Star Trek content, with streaming service CBS All Access building much of its content strategy around expanding the sci-fi franchise. If you're outside of the US, too, it's been pretty easy to keep up with it all, since Picard has released internationally on Amazon Prime Video, while Netflix has the rights to Discovery.

In April 2019, overseer Alex Kurtzman told THR that "The idea is to always have something" Star Trek-related on TV. "Two years from now, a show will end, there will be a little breath and then another show will begin."

While that ambitious plan for 2021 might be slowed down by this year's coronavirus-based TV production headaches, there's no doubt that CBS has enough content in the pipeline to back that up.  Seven Star Trek shows are publicly known right now, though a couple don't have titles or even a premise yet, and this includes ongoing seasons of Picard and Discovery.

Do Star Trek fans like the shows being made? As with any franchise that has a long and complicated history, it's really hard to figure out what the consensus is on Trek as it stands. But the volume and tonal range of what's in the works surely has to excite an audience that once enjoyed 18 years of unbroken Trek shows.

We expect to learn a lot more about these series when Star Trek takes over a whole series of panels at Comic Con at Home, starting on July 23. 

Below, we'll talk you through every Star Trek TV show currently confirmed to be in the works, so you can figure out if you want to watch them or skip them.

Star Trek: Lower Decks

Release date: August 6

Getting Rick and Morty writer Mike McMahan was quite a win for this first adult animated Star Trek series, which takes place on the lower decks of the Cerritos, a less important Starfleet vessel. It's the first Star Trek animated series in decades, and features a pretty big name voice cast, including The Boys ' Jack Quaid. 

McMahan wrote one of the all-time best Rick and Morty episodes, Total Rickall, and co-created the recent Hulu series Solar Opposities, so hopefully the end result here will be good. Two seasons are on the way.

We're not sure where it'll be streaming outside of the US yet, though.

Star Trek Discovery season 3

Expected release date: late 2020

A third season of CBS All Access' flagship show Star Trek: Discovery finished filming a while back, and post-production has been ongoing. We're expecting this one to debut some time after Lower Decks has finished rolling out its 10 weekly episodes. 

Star Trek: Discovery season 3 has a killer hook, taking viewers 1,000 years into the future of the Star Trek timeline, which will presumably give the writers a lot of scope to tell big stories without any lore-based restrictions. 

Season 2 spent a little too long in the shadow of legacy characters, as well-acted as they were, so hopefully this season will shift focus back to the Discovery's own extremely likeable crew. 

Star Trek: Picard season 2

Expected release date: 2021

Star Trek: Picard season 2 is officially happening, but where the story will go is something of a mystery after the series' eventful finale, as Picard survived (sort of) the Romulans' attack on the synthetic world of Coppelius. In season 2, expect the show to deal with the fact that (spoiler alert!) Picard now has a synthetic body, as he found a way to cheat death. We're expecting more TNG cameos in season 2, after season 1 gave fans all-too-brief glimpses of Riker and Troi. We also know Whoopi Goldberg will be reprising her role as Guinan from that series. 

Our hope is that the writers will focus on making the crew of newer characters on the La Sirena a little easier to like; Star Trek: Picard doesn't yet have the complete-feeling ensemble that Discovery does, and that's a challenge they need to overcome. 

Filming on Picard season 2 was meant to happen this June, but has been delayed for obvious reasons. We still expect to see it next year at some point, though.

Section 31 (working title)

The most intriguing spin-off in this list, and reportedly the next one in line for filming after Discovery season 3. Michelle Yeoh will reprise her memorable role as the Mirror Universe's version of Philippa Georgiou, who joined the titular mysterious Federation organization in Discovery. Section 31 operates autonomously in protection of the Federation, and is commonly known as an extreme group that works for what it perceives as the greater good. This should show a side of the Star Trek universe we haven't seen yet.

Reports suggested Section 31 was supposed to film in May of this year, but naturally that's bound to be impacted by the current global health crisis. 

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

Expected release date: 2021 (or later)

Star Trek Discovery season 2's versions of Captain Pike, Spock and Number One were evidently popular enough that they're getting their own spin-off. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds features Anson Mount, Ethan Peck and Rebecca Romijn reprising their roles in what's been described as a 'classic' Star Trek series with an angle of optimism, which should sit nicely alongside the more densely serialized likes of Discovery and Picard. As a more direct prequel to the Original Series, it'll be about the crew of the Enterprise in the pre-Kirk days.

Nickelodeon Star Trek animated series

Every ship needs a crew. Welcome aboard!We are proud to announce our very talented Writers’ Room for @Nickelodeon‘s untitled @StarTrek animated show: @TheJulieBenson @shawnabenson @DiandraWrites @QuandtumTheory @GoodAaron @Shoopeedoobydoo @nsjayaram @E_Mac777 @TheKeithSweet pic.twitter.com/LflgH34Oq2 July 30, 2019

Expected release date: 2022

Star Trek has so far lacked a counterpart to Star Wars ' Rebels and The Clone Wars animated series, but that's set to change. A so-far untitled Star Trek CG TV series is coming to Nickelodeon in the US, and as of July 2019, it had a writers' team in place. Dan and Kevin Hageman, who worked on the excellent Netflix series Trollhunters, are the key creatives behind the show, suggesting that something of a high quality that doesn't talk down to its audience is in the works here. 

Little is known about the show, but it will have serialized storylines, and Kurtzman has suggested we might not even see it in action until after 2021. Like Lower Decks, two seasons of it have been ordered, which is partly motivated by the long lead times needed on animated series.

Untitled live-action show (possibly Star Trek: Starfleet Academy)

Back in January, series overseer Alex Kurtzman explained (as captured by Trek Core ) that two more live-action Star Trek series were yet to be revealed. 

With Strange New Worlds' later announcement, we found out about one, but what about the other? It remains a mystery, but a younger-focused series called Starfleet Academy was reportedly in the works back in 2018, from the Gossip Girl duo of Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage. An old Variety report about Kurtzman's work on Trek also suggested it was possible a series about the antagonist Khan Noonien Singh was also in the works.

We'll just have to wait and see on this last one. It might even be a different project we haven't heard about yet.

One thing's for sure, though: you'll get all the Star Trek you can handle over the next couple of years.
