Star Trek: Strange New Worlds just premiered on the 2026 TV schedule, but the fun doesn’t stop there. That’s what stars Rebecca Romijn and Anson Mount believe, anyway, as the two stars and childhood fans of the franchise have me convinced we’ll be watching new franchise entries via Paramount+ subscription before too long.
Before Rebecca Romijn moves on to reprise her role as Mystique in the Marvel universe, I had a chance to speak to her and Mount ahead of the Season 4 premiere of Strange New Worlds, which is currently streaming on Paramount+. When I asked the stars whether they could say anything to ease the minds of fans worried about what’s next for Star Trek, seeing as no shows are in active development, she said this:
As far as the future of Star Trek, I don’t think Star Trek’s ever gonna go away. The more divisive our nation becomes, the more imperative it is that we keep Star Trek alive. It’s a reason for hope, especially passing it on to a younger generation and a version of the future that’s optimistic and not scary or aggressive. So, I think it’s going to always be relevant.
In no way does she sound worried about the future of Star Trek, and feels confident it’ll still be around years from now, and as she mentioned above, it’ll continue to be relevant to new generations.

Anson Mount agreed, and dropped a fact that blew my mind in the process. He couldn’t claim it as his own, but I appreciated him passing it along during the interview all the same:
Yeah, it’s an imperative. We were just in Italy, and somebody made us aware that Star Trek has been around for roughly 25% of the history of our nation. So, at this point, I think it’s sort of baked into the cake of our gestalt.
Translation: Star Trek is as American as apple pie. Perhaps more so, because apple pie actually originated in England. I guess the math does check out that if America is celebrating its 250th birthday, and Trek its 60th, that is somewhere in the ballpark of 25%.
Rebecca Romijn and Anson Mount’s thoughts echo those of other prominent names of Star Trek, many of whom don’t believe it will ever fully go away. I tend to agree, especially with Paramount still making efforts to bring it back to the big screen with a movie on the big screen.
Star Trek will continue, but I think there are solid fears from fans about how it will continue. How long will fans have to wait for a new television series, and who will be put in charge of making it happen? As it stands, it seems the company is ready to move on from Alex Kurtzman running its television department, leaving the door open for fresh blood to take the reins. Kurtzman did tell CinemaBlend a while back that fans shouldn’t fear this transition period, merely because there’s just so much Paramount has to tackle to complete its merger with Warner Bros. Discovery.
All this to say, it doesn’t sound like anyone in charge is worried about Star Trek ending. So we’ll continue to play the waiting game and remain optimistic that positive updates on the franchise are on the way. Beyond that, watch Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 4 on Paramount+ with new episodes streaming on Thursdays!
