Of all the new series, Lower Decks has been perhaps the most consistent - seasons 1-3 premiered in August, while season four premiered in early September.
Animated television writers are in another guild, one that signed a new contract over a year ago. Neither the WGA or SAG-ACTRA strikes have impacted them.
@ValueSubtracted Is the Friday Night Death Slot still a thing? Because it's right around this point Star Trek series usually get shuffled into the Friday Night Death Slot.

This pattern may or may not hold.

Writers strike likely affected scripts…
Not to mention SAG-AFTRA strike still ongoing…
So I imagine it will push back season 5 by some months, possibly til 2025

I don’t think I’ve ever heard of that being relevant to streaming shows.
Since the only country in which LD airs on tv is Canada, and it streams there as well, I doubt it’s a factor.
