The Final Season of Star Trek: Discovery Will Warp onto Paramount Plus in April

Captain Burnham will only get to say "Let's fly" so many more times

David Ajala as Book, Mary Wiseman as Tilly, Doug Jones as Saru, Sonequa Martin-Green as Burnham, Wilson Cruz as Culber, Blu Del Barrio as Adira and Callum Keith Rennie as Raynor in season 5 of the Paramount+ original series STAR TREK: DISCOVERY.

It’s been a long, strange, occasionally baffling journey, and now it’s coming to an end: The fifth and final season of Star Trek: Discovery will begin on April 4th with a two-episode premiere.

The synopsis is mysterious! And vague!

The fifth and final season will find Captain Burnham and the crew of the U.S.S. Discovery uncovering a mystery that will send them on an epic adventure across the galaxy to find an ancient power whose very existence has been deliberately hidden for centuries. But there are others on the hunt as well … dangerous foes who are desperate to claim the prize for themselves and will stop at nothing to get it.

In a recent TVLine interview, Sonequa Martin-Green, who plays Captain Burnham, teased a major twist in this final season, saying, “There’s a big thing. A biiiig thing in Season 5.”

Along with Martin-Green, Discovery stars Doug Jones as Saru, Anthony Rapp as Paul Stamets, Wilson Cruz as Hugh Culber, David Ajala as Cleveland Booker, and Blu del Barrio as Adira. For the grand finale, Mary Wiseman will return as Sylvia Tilly, and Callum Keith Rennie joins the cast as Rayner. There are also two recurring stars: Elias Toufexis as L’ak and Eve Harlow as Moll.

Star Trek: Discovery has Michelle Paradise and Trek mastermind Alex Kurtzman as showrunners. Its arrival on Paramount Plus in 2017 heralded the beginning of a new Trek era that now includes the now-concluded Star Trek: Picard, the animated Star Trek: Lower Decks, the beloved Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, and more.
