Paramount’s ‘Star Trek’ Focus Is Back at the Movies—Including ‘Star Trek 4’ (Again)

Paramount's focus on the "Star Trek" franchise is shifting back to the big screen, with the announcement of a new "Star Trek 4" movie. The studio has been primarily focused on expanding the franchise's small-screen presence on Paramount+, but this move signals a renewed emphasis on the theatrical experience. The details of the upcoming "Star Trek 4" project are still under wraps, but it is expected to continue the storyline from the previous Kelvin timeline films, which featured a reboot of the iconic characters. Additionally, there are reports of other potential "Star Trek" movie projects in the works, further cementing the franchise's return to the cinematic realm. This shift in focus comes as the "Star Trek" television series, such as "Star Trek: Picard" and "Star Trek: Discovery," have been receiving positive reviews and gaining popularity on the streaming platform. The combination of both the small-screen and big-screen presence suggests a multi-pronged approach to revitalizing the beloved sci-fi franchise.
