UPDATE: Anson Mount has just shared a heartfelt Thanksgiving greeting as Star Trek: Strange New Worlds approaches the final stages of filming. With only the sixth and last episode remaining, the production is set to wrap in December 2025, and the excitement among fans is palpable.
In a touching video posted on his Instagram, Mount wished his followers a Happy Thanksgiving while heading to the set. He was seen warmly greeting co-star Jess Bush before joining producing director Chris Fisher. This gesture highlights the camaraderie among the cast and crew as they work through the holiday season, with filming taking place at CBS Stages Mississauga in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
With the American cast and crew working through the Thanksgiving holiday—unlike their Canadian counterparts who celebrated in October—Mount plans to return to his home in Nashville, Tennessee, for a belated Thanksgiving celebration this weekend. The filming process has been rigorous, but Mount appeared noticeably more relaxed and cheerful in this latest update compared to last week’s post, where he admitted to feeling exhausted.
The production of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds has been a significant event for fans, especially since Paramount+ renewed the series for a fifth season when season 3 premiered in June 2025. As Christina Chong noted during the recent ST: CHI – Trek to Chicago convention, “It’s bittersweet that we are just almost finishing. We’re about to start shooting the last episode of Strange New Worlds. How crazy is that?”
Despite the imminent conclusion of filming, there is still much to anticipate. Upcoming seasons will continue to expand the beloved franchise, with season 4 expected to premiere in 2026 and season 5 likely arriving in 2027. This means fans have a total of 16 new episodes to look forward to, ensuring that the excitement surrounding the series remains strong.
As production wraps up, the emotional weight of this milestone is felt deeply by the cast, crew, and fans alike. Mount’s Thanksgiving message serves as a reminder of the community built around the Star Trek franchise and the dedication of those involved in bringing these stories to life.
Stay tuned for more updates from the set of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds as we approach the finale and prepare for future adventures in the universe of Star Trek.
