In the run-up to the fifth season, Paramount+ has announced that this will also be the final season for Star Trek: Discovery. The drama series with what it says is groundbreaking storytelling will be honored with festivities and performance at events for a year.
“Star Trek: Discovery is a perennial favorite on the service, near and dear to the hearts of legions of Star Trek fans as well as all of us here at Paramount+,” said Tanya Giles, chief programming officer at Paramount Streaming. “The series and its incredible cast and creatives ushered in a new era for Star Trek when it debuted over six years ago, embracing the future of streaming with serialized storytelling, bringing to life deep and complex characters that honor Gene Roddenberry’s legacy of representing diversity and inclusion, and pushing the envelope with award-winning world-building,” Giles added. “This final season will see our beloved crew take on a new adventure, and we can’t wait to celebrate the series’ impact on the franchise leading up to its final season early next year.”
In the fifth and final season, Captain Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) and the crew of the USS Discovery uncover a mystery that will send them on an epic adventure across the galaxy to find an ancient force whose existence has been deliberately hidden for centuries. But there are also others on the hunt - dangerous enemies who are desperate to claim the prize for themselves and will stop at nothing. In addition to Martin-Green, the Star Trek: Discovery cast includes Doug Jones (Saru), Anthony Rapp (Paul Stamets), Mary Wiseman (Sylvia Tilly), Wilson Cruz (Dr. Hugh Culber), David Ajala (Cleveland "Book" Booker) , Blu del Barrio (Adira) and Callum Keith Rennie (Rayner).
“Of course, there would be no Discovery without Sonequa Martin-Green and the extraordinary team of artists, both in front of and behind the camera, who have brought this show to life. Their passion and determination to make every episode special has been deeply inspiring; so too has their love and support for one another and their genuine love for Star Trek,” Kurtzman and Paradise continued.
The fifth and final season will air on Paramount+ in early 2024. Fans in some countries are still waiting for the fourth season. Netflix has had to remove the series because the international distribution rights are now owned by SkyShowtime. However, fans have been wondering for months when the series will be available on their platform. At the time of writing, this is not yet known.
