Just days after the premiere of Star Trek: Discovery Season 3, CBS All Access has announced that the series has been renewed for a fourth season, with production scheduled to begin on November 2.

The announcement came by way of video as executive producers and co-showrunners Michelle Paraise and Alex Kurzman, along with series stars Sonequa Martin-Green (Michael Burnham) and Doug Jones (Saru), expressed their excitement to return to the set, despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. 

"It's going to be great to see everybody and I think we're going to really love on each other," Martin-Green said. "I'm really excited to be giving you a season four and watch season three. That's what I'm really excited about."

The third season of Star Trek: Discovery debuted on the streaming service on October 15. The 13-episode season picks up after the Discovery drops out of the wormhole they entered into in the second-season finale. Having emerged in an unknown future far from home, the crew -- along with some new faces they meet along the way -- must work together to restore hope.

CBS All Access has really ramped up its production on all things Star Trek. In addition to Discovery, the streaming service is also home to Picard and the animated adult comedy Lower Decks. There are additional animated and live-action series in development as well, including ProdigyStar Trek: Strange New Worlds, and Section 31.

Scott Bakula...aka...Captain Archer

Anyone else want to see more of his story? He’s a fantastic actor who I felt got saddled with just a stale, uninspired era of Trek Writing.

Would love to see him back in a limited series if nothing else than to give a better Finale than the dreadful Enterprise Series Finale.

@IronGenesis - Would love to see him back. Also, I think you mean that “lost” episode of TNG, not series finale.

More crappy Star Trek.

I'll stick with The Original and The Next Generation.

I dropped out after S1. Guess the show has its fans, though, so good for them.

This woke shit needs to go, and kurtzman needs to lose both his hands so he can never write again lol

Please, kick Kurtzman out already. I realize that in big productions like this one person can't be fairly blamed (or praised) for everything, but just looking at his track record I'm certain that the overall quality of these shows would improve, if he wasn't involved.

Yet to watch season 3 but it was a bit difficult to get through Season 2. However as long as this makes more content for the guys at Red Letter Media , Im all for it.

Season 1 was a bit slow at the beginning, but I really enjoyed Season 2 with the Red Angel mystery.

It is strange how many haters this show has, yet it must be succesful, because it has already 3 spin-offs in the making.

I'm honestly surprised this got more than 1 season.

CBS must be short on content for All-Access

We're actually going to get season 4 of this garbage before Orville season 3

Just get Kurtzman out of the writing room and maybe we can get back to telling some good Star Trek stories again. Literally ANYONE could write a better script than this putz. Star Trek should appeal to nerds, not normies looking for brainless entertainment. If you want brainless entertainment, go watch Bloodshot. The writers behind this Black Mirror episode should be working on Discovery:

People always like to praise the hell out of TNG but that first season was a bad retread of TOS, which fortunately got progressively better each season to follow. Even the actors didn't really feel like they really hit their stride until the episode where Picard gets turned into a Borg. Discovery like-wise had a hit and miss 1st season. The second greatly improved upon that, especially with the introduction of Pike, Spock, and Number 1. The 3rd has an interesting premise and I'm anxious to see where it leads. Yeah Kurtzman has left a bad taste in my mouth for previous outings, but at least to me he is redeeming himself a bit here. I'll be watching this season and the one to follow as well. Hopefully like TNG it will get progressively better with each succeeding season.

@mugens - But here's the thing with that criticism, the first season, and even the rocky 2nd of TNG still felt like Trek. They were dealing with moral, philosophical and ethical dilemmas all in the hopeful future way that Star Trek was about since the beginning (or mostly the beginning). But these new shows are nihilistic and needlessly violent. They don't feel like Trek which is why people have a harder time passing it off as just the "first two seasons shuffle."

Oy. A prequel was already done. They should've made this about 900 years post TNG/DS9/VOY era from the start. Or do what they intended to do when they announced it, have it be an anthology series. Each season or every episode, or even every few episodes could focus on a different era. That would be a cool visual show. For 2 episodes it could be the early Federation of Archer. The next could be a Romulan Empire story in the Kirk era and round out the season with a Dominion War arc. Idk, something interesting like that could be fun and inventive and all in the name of Trek. Unlike this debacle. Oh well, we still have the Orville and countless hours of old-Trek

I was a bit young for much of the original series, and didn’t get get into TNG until a couple of seasons in as I was a Star Wars kid and Star Trek was for nerds. But I grew to love it, and Voyager. DS9 was mostly boring, like endless foreplay waiting for action to happen that hardly ever did. Enterprise was uneven and got canned just as it was really hitting its stride. But this show I love and can’t wait to see what they do now the shackles are completely off with no cannon to (admittedly very loosely) restrict it. I love the concept of bringing back hope and the complete clean sheet with which to do it. [frick] the haters.

Casual? I’ve watched every single episode of DS9, Voyager, Enterprise, Picard, Discovery and TNG excepting apart from the first 2 seasons. DS9 might have been a war show but there was a shit tonne of talking and crapping on about religion and the Prophets and [frick] all fighting. Even the Defiant, which was supposed to be the Federation’s first war ship and tough as nails, was just a dick tease - it hardly ever got used. And when it was it was like a teenage boy - over in 30 seconds 😂
