Executive Producer of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Details Ten-Episode Seasons
Executive producer of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, Akiva Goldsman, has announced that the show will not be running outside of its present ten-episode run. Goldsman revealed during an interview at San Diego Comic-con 2024 that although the team has sought for extended seasons, the show has actually been offered less episodes on sporadic basis.

Still, he said he was happy with the present structure, "Ten's good!"
