It’s only been a few months since STAR TREK Discovery Season 3 ended,
leaving us waiting for more adventures with newly promoted Captain Michael Burnham of the USS Discovery.
Well, we might be waiting longer than originally planned for Season 4 of Discovery.
Twitter account Toronto Filming, which focuses on providing updates about film and television projects in Toronto,
Canada, shared an article giving updates on popular shows.
The article shows us that Star Trek Discovery Season 4 filming has been extended to mid-september of this year.
Originally Season 4 production was scheduled to wrap in July to August,
, however this delay could be due to a multitude of things.
One obvious thing is that COVID is delaying filming, which is to be expected given new variants and other waves of the pandemic passing through the world right now.
Another potential reason and added speculation is that the Discovery production team are testing something new in the extended time they are getting for filming.
Could this link to recent news about a new Star Trek movie script being penned?
Something else is the new VR wall used for filming.
Or perhaps something else altogether, maybe more Short Treks?
Either way, we’ll wait and see.
Ultimately this delay or extension, depending on how you see it right now,
could lead to Star Trek Discovery Season 4 being pushed from it’s late 2021 air date to now air in 2022.
No official confirmation on any of this yet however even with the delays caused by the pandemic,
the messaging about releasing Discovery season four in 2021 has remained consistent from ViacomCBS.
We’ll leave the question to you, do you expect to see Star Trek Discovery Season 4 in 2021,
or do you expect it in 2022,

You may or may not have heard the news recently, but STAR TREK Voyager is getting the documentary treatment.
rom the production team that brought you the Deep Space Nine: What We Left Behind documentary, who are now focusing on Star Trek Voyager.
The documentary is named “To The Journey”, and thanks to a successful Indiegogo campaign
which has just surpassed 1 MILLION USD, will be produced very soon.
At the time of recording this video there is about 24hrs left, give or take,
so if you want to support the doc and get some cool backer rewards then you can!
Executive Producer David Zappone recently spoke about how the Voyager Doc came about,
during the WonderCon @Home 2021 panel.
He said the following about his conversation with Jonathan Frakes -
“I said to Frakes, ‘you know, What We Left Behind was great, but I think I’m done and burned out. It’s enough Star Trek.’ He said WHAT? You’re the guy! You have to do Voyager!” and I listened!”
While the Doc is still in the early stages of production,
with more interviews and extra support footage yet to be filmed.
Hopefully, It won’t be too long before we see it as the DS9 doc was fantastic.
The week just passed celebrated the 90th Birthday of the legendary Lenord Nimoy.
While the city of Boston in the USA decided to declare the whole day as “Leonard Nimoy Day”, as the city was his hometown,
the Museum of Science has bigger ideas as well!
The Museum of Science in Boosted has revealed that they were working on a permanent memorial to the actor.
Businesswire reported that the family of the late actor had teamed up with the museum to create a “Live Long and Prosper” Vulcan salute monument.
See on screen right now, the 20-foot, illuminated, stainless steel monument shaped in the famous “Live Long and Prosper” hand gesture will be located in front of the Museum,
at Science Park, welcoming visitors and Star Trek fans from around the world.
The Museum of Science and the family of Leonard Nimoy will collaborate on the next phases of development
of the Leonard Nimoy memorial sculpture which will include finalizing the site plan, fundraising, and construction.
