Strange New Worlds occupies a carefully chosen place in the Star Trek timeline. Though set before The Original Series, there are some deviations.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is both a Star Trek: The Original Series prequel and a spinoff of Star Trek: Discovery.
Star Trek: The Original Series was originally supposed to follow Captain Christopher Pike and his respective crew on the Enterprise.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds came out at the right time to capitalize on the original concepts that were deemed too controversial in the 1960s.
