The overarching plan for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' fifth (and final) season was revealed during the Star Trek Universe panel at San Diego Comic-Con.

"We started having this idea of those great lost eras that exist in all of our head, canon and ancillary canon, but had never really gotten much of a chance to be on the screen," co-showrunner Akiva Goldsman said of Strange New Worlds' initial grand plans in Hall H. "So what we've tried to do is try to reach back to Pike's Enterprise and instill in it the kind of storytelling values we have today and bring us right up to Kirk's first day on the job. And that is our hope, and that is our plan. And we plan to get you there."
