Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 3 has wrapped filming, and Anson Mount hints when production on Strange New Worlds season 4 will begin in Toronto. Strange New Worlds season 3 filmed from December 2023 to May 2024, wrapping just before the Memorial Day weekend. With most of the top directors from Strange New Worlds season 2 like Chris Fisher, Jonathan Frakes, Dan Liu, and Valerie Weiss returning, Strange New Worlds season 3 will continue to take the "big swings" that made the Star Trek prequel series a hit with critics and audiences. In April, Paramount+ gave Star Trek: Strange New Worlds an early season 4 renewal.
On his Instagram, Anson Mount (@ansonmount), who plays Captain Christopher Pike on Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, said goodbye to Canada for now, but indicated when he would return to film Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 4, saying, "We’ll see you again in the spring when “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds” goes back into production for Season 4!"

When Will Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 3 & 4 Release?
Strange New Worlds season 4 could tie into Star Trek's 60th Anniversary
Anticipation is high for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 3, but now that filming is over, months of post-production work has begun to complete the next 10 episodes. Paramount+ likely won't release Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 3 until some time in 2025. However, if filming for Strange New Worlds season 4 starts in Spring 2025 as Anson Mount says, then Strange New Worlds season 3 may premiere before that. After all, it takes about 5-6 months to film a season of Strange New Worlds, and the cast will need to be available for press and media to promote Strange New Worlds season 3 to coincide with its premiere. Therefore, it's possible Strange New Worlds season 3 could drop early in 2025.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds ' cast will likely begin their media promotion for season 3 at events like San Diego Comic-Con in July, Star Trek Day in September, and New York Comic-Con in October.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 4 would then likely release in 2026, which puts it in an advantageous position. 2026 is the 60th anniversary of Star Trek. Strange New Worlds happens to have the USS Enterprise and the young Lt. James T. Kirk (Paul Wesley), Lt. Spock (Ethan Peck), Ensign Nyota Uhura (Celia Rose Gooding), Scotty (Martin Quinn), and Nurse Christine Chapel (Jess Bush) aboard. There would likely be an episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 4 designed to celebrate Star Trek's past (and future), tying in to the franchise's 60th-anniversary milestone. Regardless, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' cast will enjoy a break of several months before donning their Starfleet uniforms and reboarding the Starship Enterprise for season 4.
