The end of Star Trek’s current prequel series, Strange New Worlds, has always been a fixed point, but the way the series would conclude was in flux until very recently. Rather than the typical 10-episode order, Strange New Worlds Season 5 will feature only six episodes. That may be a disappointment to fans who’ve followed the show from the beginning, but according to star Rebecca Romijn, the final season was almost shorter still. Strange New Worlds’ showrunners had to fight for a fifth season. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is now streaming on Paramount+.
