10 Star Trek TV Shows And Movies Currently In The Works

9. Discovery Season Four

Discovery's producers confirmed a fourth season during filming on the third season. Doug Jones openly stated on Twitter that he was filming, setting fans' fears to rest that he had exited the show at the end of That Hope Is You, Part 2. Filming was slated to run from June 2020 to January 2021, but the COVID pandemic delayed all shoots.

The cast and crew traveled to Toronto 14 days early to self-isolate, then began working in pods to control the spread of the virus. Jones confirmed that testing occurs three times a week. Returning stars include the main cast, along with David Ajala, Blu del Barrio, Ian Alexander, David Cronenberg and Oded Fehr. Kurtzman also confirmed that the show's timeline will remain in the 32nd century going forward.

Tig Notaro elected not to travel to Toronto amid concerns over COVID, but is open to filming later in the block. Production is now due to wrap in June 2021. Michelle Paradise spoke about the need to continued representation in the series, speaking particularly about Burnham taking the Captain's Chair and the family unit of Stamets, Culber, Adira and Gray. She also confirmed that the promise of Gray being seen by others will be followed up on in season four.

Finally, Alex Kurtzman detailed the season's main villain. He said that it will be a scientific phenomenon, rather than a person or race. What exactly this means is anyone's guess but Kurtzman is one of the men who blew up the Romulan Sun, so anything is possible.
