JULY 11, 2021 - In case you missed it: things are happening on the set of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.

Last week, series lead Anson Mount, who plays Captain Christopher Pike on the series, posted a short production update, and gave fans the tiniest of hints as to what’s to come. Mount tweeted: “Last ep of Season 1 starts shooting today. Old school fans are going to [be] VERY excited to see what we’re trying to pull off with this one. Getting to do many things I’ve never attempted as an actor. So much fun!”

Mount’s tweet is a good sign that production is winding up on the show’s first season, but it will still be a while before we can expect to see it on our screens. Only Star Trek: Lower Decks season two, Star Trek: Prodigy and Star Trek: Discovery season four are expected to air in 2021, with Star Trek: Strange New Worlds joining Star Trek: Picard season two no earlier than next year, 2022.

However, you won’t have to spend too much time waiting around for new Star Trek: with Lower Decks premiering in just a month, on August 12th, and Disco season four expected to follow on shortly after, 2022 is just two short Star Treks away.

To catch up on Anson Mount’s previous escapades as Captain Pike, check out Star Trek: Discovery season two, and of course if you feel like kicking it old school, you can catch up on previous Pikes Jeffrey Hunter and and Sean Kenney in The Original Series, all of which is now streaming on Paramount+.
