Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is not slowing down as it heads toward its final mission.
Fans have been excited about what's to come next, and now we finally have a fresh update straight from one of the directors' mouths. Jordan Canning, who has been behind some of the most loved episodes in the show, has now confirmed that she will be back for Season 5.
The surprise? She revealed that filming has already begun, and she is directing the second episode of the final season.
Jordan Canning shares a behind-the-scenes look at Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 5
It's no secret that Star Trek: Strange New Worlds has been moving towards its final season. After a long wait, the show is up and running along with a season with a fourth season already finished and a fifth season confirmed.
Now, Jordan Canning has also given fans a sign that production for the final season has officially begun.
Jordan Canning posted a picture of her director's placard on Instagram, proudly stamped with "Episode 502." Her caption was simple but full of energy:
"Back in the (space) saddle"
For those who've followed her work on the show, the post was surely exciting to look at.
Canning first joined Star Trek: Strange New Worlds in Season 2 and has also had proper involvement in Seasons 3 & 4. This record has made her a trusted director in the show's creative team.
The final voyage with Jordan Canning at the helm
The fifth season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds will be shorter than what fans are usually used to, with only six episodes compared to the usual ten.
That decision came after talks between co-showrunners Akiva Goldsman and Henry Alonso Myers and Paramount+, who thought that the story deserved a proper goodbye even if it meant fewer hours of TV.
In Goldsman's words, while speaking to Collider,
"We said six, and they said six. So that gets us right up to Kirk's first day on the job."
That highlights just how well this show has been built to connect with Star Trek's timeline. From Captain Pike leading the Enterprise to Paul Wesley's younger James T. Kirk coming in, the show has always been about bridging the gap to The Original Series.
Jordan Canning's involvement in directing one of the final episodes adds even more excitement, and fans simply cannot wait.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is officially on its way to its last course, and Jordan Canning's update proves that Season 5 has already started taking place. Her return to the director's chair makes sure that the series' final episodes will have the same energy and heart that made her earlier work so memorable for Star Trek fans.
