Interviews: Anson Mount and the Star Trek: Strange New Worlds showrunners talk about the new season

With this year marking the sixtieth anniversary of the Star Trek franchise, it seems fitting that we have gotten one of the best seasons to date. Following the episodic structure of The Original Series, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds has continued to forge a path that embraces modern technology while echoing what made the William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy show so iconic. With the fifth season set to be the last, Strange New Worlds‘ fourth season is awesome.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 4 sees the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise – led by Captain Christopher Pike – embark on a series of thrilling and emotional adventures across the stars. As they journey to strange new worlds, they will battle inner demons and external threats, encounter colorful new characters, reunite with familiar faces, and confront terrifying aliens. Through it all, they strive to embrace a bright, hopeful future.

Anson Mount discussed what he kept from the set and the franchise’s legacy, while showrunners Henry Alonso Myers and Akiva Goldsman talked about their favorite episodes and what we can expect from next year’s fifth and final season.
