'Star Trek: Discovery' To End With Season 5

 


It's almost the end of a long road we've gotten here for another Star Trek series. Paramount+ announced on Thursday that Star Trek: Discovery will be ending with its upcoming fifth season.

Discovery is Paramount+'s longest-running drama, having been the first original series ordered for the service was still known as CBS All Access, where the series would premiere in September 2017 after a linear sneak preview on CBS. It brought a resurgence of Star Trek to television after twelve years since which has grown to five series: the direct spinoff Strange New Worlds, which features Captain Pike's Enterprise crew as portrayed by the actors who began in the roles in Discovery's second season, Picard, the The Next Generation continuation in the midst of its own final season, and the animated Lower Decks and Prodigy, all of which are Paramount+ originals. When Discovery does end, Tooning Out The News, which has since moved to Comedy Central, will be the last CBS All Access original still in production, otherwise this is the last of those originals to end as an original of the platform.

Originally set as a prequel to Star Trek: The Original Series, the events of the second season finale propelled the Discovery crew into the 32nd century and have been figuring life out there. This fifth and final season, announced to be premiering next year in early 2024, sees Captain Burnham (played by Sonequa Martin-Green) and the crew of the USS Discovery solving the mystery of a recently uncovered ancient power deliberately hidden for centuries, going on an epic adventure across the galaxy to find it. Burnham was the franchise's first black woman to be captain. Her returning crew in this final season includes Doug Jones as Saru, Anthony Rapp as Paul Stamets, Mary Wiseman as Sylvia Tilly, Wilson Cruz as Dr. Hugh Culber, David Ajala as Cleveland “Book” Booker, and Blu del Barrio as Adira. New characters this season include Callum Keith Rennie as Rayner, a “gruff, smart Starfleet Captain who holds a clear line between commander and crew;” Eve Harlow as  Moll, a former courier-turned-outlaw with an impressive strategic and witty mind, and Elias Toufexis as her “impulsive and fiercely protective” partner L’ak.

What could possibly be next, now that there are two slots opening up on the plate of the Star Trek franchise? Well, there's a Starfleet Academy series in development, and the even-longer gestating Section 31 series featuring Michelle Yeoh's Emperor Philipa Georgiou. Picard's third and final season is currently streaming its first three episodes. The series finale is set for April 20.
