Read Goldsman’s quote and watch Screen Rant‘s full Star Trek: Strange New Worlds‘ interview below:

No. I mean, not so far, and we’ve tried, in fairness. We, too, have that sense, and most practically represented by the number of cards that are episode cards. At the beginning of each season we sort of go… It’s sort of like a Friends anthology. Let’s do ‘One Where,’ let’s do ‘The One Where…’ And we always have more cards than 10 by the end. Some of the other shows… Disco was 13… So we sort of batted our eyes and said, ‘Give us more’, and they said, ‘No, you can have less,’ and we’re like, ‘Okay! Ten’s good!’
