Anson Mount expressed his gratitude to fans with a Thanksgiving greeting as filming for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds approaches completion. The production is nearing the end, with only the final episode left to shoot, indicating a significant milestone for the series.
Filming at CBS Stages Mississauga in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, the cast and crew have been hard at work throughout the fall season. The anticipated wrap date is set for December 2025, following a successful run that has captivated audiences since its premiere. The show was renewed for a fifth and final season when season three debuted on Paramount+ in June 2025.
Filming Updates and Cast Insights
Mount shared his Thanksgiving wishes through a video on his Instagram account, capturing a moment as he left his trailer to join the set. In the clip, he greeted his co-star, Jess Bush, with a warm hug before heading to work alongside producing director Chris Fisher. As Mount noted, the American cast and crew continue filming through the Thanksgiving holiday, differing from the Canadian Thanksgiving celebration that occurred in October.
