Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is going out with a bang, and the producers are leaving everything on the table — even episodes they didn't get to shoot. The series is currently airing its fourth season on Paramount+, and it has already shot its fifth and final season. Last week, the cast and creators came together for a virtual panel hosted by the Television Critics Association to celebrate the premiere of Season 4, and the impending finale of the show was baked into every question and answer. When discussing storylines that never made it onto the show, co-showrunner Akiva Goldsman revealed that they had actually written an episode that would have killed off Pelia ( Carol Kane ).
