Star Trek: Strange New Worlds begins filming of Season 4 and reveals brand new BTS photos

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 4 has officially gone into production. A new photo confirms that Captain Pike, Spock, and Uhura will remain at the heart of season 4.

These three characters have played a major role in the show since the beginning, and it looks like they will continue to lead the story. For fans who might have worried about changes in the cast, this is great news.

Some TV shows replace main actors between seasons, but that is not happening in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 4. The focus will still be on Pike’s leadership, Spock’s logical mind, and Uhura’s communication skills as they explore the galaxy.

When will Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 4 be ready?

Even though filming for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 4 has started, Season 3 has not been released yet. There’s no official premiere date, but we do know a few details. Season 3 will have 10 episodes, just like previous seasons.

There will be big surprises, according to Nami Melumad, the show’s music composer. She hinted that the upcoming episodes will be different from what fans have seen in the past.

There would not be another musical episode. In Season 2, there was a special episode called Subspace Rhapsody, where the characters sang their emotions due to a strange space anomaly. While it was fun, Melumad confirmed that Season 3 will not have another musical episode.

What kinds of surprises are coming? We don’t know yet, but the mix of action, drama, and unexpected twists will keep fans on their toes. Filming for Season 4 officially started on March 3, 2025, and it is expected to continue until July 2025.

Before the cameras started rolling, there was a pre-production phase that lasted two months.

• Building sets: The team creates detailed locations inside the USS Enterprise and other planets the characters will visit.
• Making props: From futuristic gadgets to alien costumes, everything needs to be prepared before filming starts.
• Planning scenes: Directors and writers make sure every episode is carefully planned to bring the best storytelling experience to fans.

Since filming will last until mid-2025, fans might have to wait until late 2025 or early 2026 to watch Season 4. With Season 3 yet to premiere and Season 4 now in production, it’s clear that Strange New Worlds has a bright future.

The show has been praised for its mix of classic Star Trek exploration, engaging storytelling, and character-driven drama. As fans eagerly wait for more details, one thing is certain: the adventures aboard the USS Enterprise are far from over.
