Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 3 is currently being filmed in Toronto and is set to premiere on Paramount+ in 2025. The upcoming season will pick up from the intense cliffhanger involving the Gorn in season 2. Fans can expect the next 9 episodes to continue the series' tradition of taking bold creative risks. Season 3 will feature the return of top directors like Chris Fisher, Jonathan Frakes, Jordan Canning, Dan Liu, and Valerie Weiss, ensuring the same high-quality storytelling.

Star Trek: Picard season 3 has recently received recognition at the Saturn Awards and has also been nominated for the Critics Choice Super Awards. These accolades may signify the end of the road for the series. Despite the success of the show, the future of Star Trek: Picard remains uncertain.

The final season of Star Trek: Picard featured a reunion of the beloved cast from Star Trek: The Next Generation. However, this reunion may also mark the end of the road for Patrick Stewart's character. Even though the ending of season 3 hinted at a potential continuation titled Star Trek: Legacy, there are currently no plans for a Picard spinoff on Paramount+.

While Star Trek: Picard season 3 has garnered significant recognition, including award nominations, the future of the series is still up in the air. On the other hand, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 3 could potentially follow in the footsteps of its predecessor and continue to receive accolades in the future.

Editor's P/S:

The Critics Choice Super Awards nominations highlight the resurgence of the Star Trek franchise, with "Picard" and "Strange New Worlds" receiving recognition in multiple categories. "Strange New Worlds" is particularly promising, with its bold creative approach and the return of talented directors for season 3. The uncertain future of "Picard," however, leaves fans wondering whether the beloved "The Next Generation" cast has made its final appearance.

While "Star Trek: Legacy" was teased at the end of "Picard" season 3, the absence of any official plans suggests that Patrick Stewart's iconic role as Picard may have come to an end. Nevertheless, the legacy of "Star Trek" continues to thrive through "Strange New Worlds," which is poised to build on its successes and further explore the vast universe that has captivated generations of fans.
