Shucks, it's been able to get a season a year so far, but that pattern was for only two years. At least we have Discovery, even if that show is the most controversial incarnation in the entire franchise.

"San Diego Comic-Con “Star Trek Universe” Panel Recap"​

"This year’s San Diego Comic-Con once again featured a Star Trek panel, focusing on various projects of this long running franchise. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, Starfleet Academy, as well as a newly announced scripted podcast series, were all featured during the presentation. Below is a rundown of the major announcements to come out of this year’s panel.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.​

Season 3 is currently premiering new episodes weekly on Paramount+. The audience at the panel was treated to an advance screening of this week’s new episode, titled “A Space Adventure Hour” (set to debut on July 31st); the episode is a murder mystery type of story set inside the Enterprise’s holodeck system, and was directed by Jonathan Frakes (whom fans of the franchise might remember best for playing “Number One” Will Riker in various projects, beginning with Star Trek: The Next Generation).

Also shown was an advance sneak peek clip for a season 4 episode, in which the crew is tuned into puppets. This episode will be directed by Jordan Canning (Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock) with a full starship crew of puppets from Jim Henson‘s Creature Shop. Check out the brief teaser below in the article. Work on season 4 of the show is mostly complete it seems, and work has also begun on the 5th season, which will be the final one for Strange New Worlds."
