With Star Trek: Discovery closing its successful run after five seasons, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds looks to carry the banner for the venerable science fiction franchise moving forward. The series first premiered in 2022 to great acclaim, centered around the USS Enterprise under Captain Christopher Pike a few years before the events of The Original Series. Season 2 ended on a cliffhanger, with members of the crew abducted by the sinister Gorn and Pike disobeying Starfleet orders to go after them.
