Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 1

The first season of the American television series Star Trek: Strange New Worlds follows Captain Christopher Pike and the crew of the starship Enterprise in the 23rd century as they explore new worlds and carry out missions during the decade before Star Trek: The Original Series (1966–1969). The season was produced by CBS Studios in association with Secret Hideout, Weed Road Pictures, H M R X Productions, and Roddenberry Entertainment, with Akiva Goldsman and Henry Alonso Myers as showrunners.

Anson Mount, Ethan Peck, and Rebecca Romijn respectively star as Pike, Spock, and Number One, along with Jess Bush, Christina Chong, Celia Rose Gooding, Melissa Navia, Babs Olusanmokun, and Bruce Horak. Many of the regular actors and several guest stars portray younger versions of characters from The Original Series. A spin-off from the series Star Trek: Discovery (2017–2024) focused on Mount, Peck, and Romijn was discussed by January 2020 and officially ordered as Strange New Worlds in May. The showrunners chose to return to the episodic storytelling of The Original Series rather than Discovery's more serialized approach. The writers and directors focused on giving each episode a different genre and tone. Filming took place at CBS Stages Canada in Mississauga, Ontario, from February to July 2021, with additional filming in New Mexico for the visual effects.

The season premiered on the streaming service Paramount+ on May 5, 2022, and ran for 10 episodes until July 7. It was estimated to have high viewership and audience demand, becoming the most watched Paramount+ original Star Trek series. It also received positive reviews from critics for its episodic storytelling and cast. The season received several accolades, including a Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Award nomination and a Saturn Award win. A second season was announced in January 2022.
