Star Trek: Starfleet Academy is ending after Season 2—no third season, no extended mission. Paramount+ and CBS Studios say they’re proud of the show’s ambition and fresh characters, but the upcoming second season will be its last. The series followed a new generation of cadets learning the ropes under pressure—think friendships, rivalries, first loves, and, of course, a looming threat to the Federation. It also brought in some heavy hitters, including Holly Hunter and Paul Giamatti. Alex Kurtzman and Noga Landau helped steer the ship, carrying forward the vision of Gene Roddenberry. Critics liked it—strong reviews, solid buzz—but it never cracked the big streaming numbers. Season 2 has already wrapped production, with a premiere date still under wraps. When it lands, that’ll be the final chapter.
