Star Trek: Discovery Drops Bold New Trailer For Final Season — WATCH

On Friday, Paramount+ unveiled a thrilling new trailer for Star Trek: Discovery's final season, which will see the titular crew set out for one more bold, death-defying journey. Watch the preview below:

As previously announced, Star Trek: Discovery will begin its last mission on Paramount+ on Thursday, April 4. The first two episodes of the series' 10-episode fifth and final season will be available to stream at launch with new episodes dropping weekly on Thursdays.

The farewell run 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.

"There's a big thing. A biiiig thing in Season 5," Sonequa Martin-Green, who plays Michael Burnham on Discovery, cryptically teased in an interview with TVLine at last week's Atlanta's SCAD TVfest. (Watch the full video above.) And after previous seasons got a little dark and heavy, Martin-Green promises "a great sense of adventure and fun" in Season 5: "It's a bit of a tonal shift that I think people will enjoy."

But what people will really enjoy is seeing Burnham back in the same sector as Book, played by David Ajala, and Martin-Green cagily admitted that the Season 5 teaser (see below) "would seem to suggest that they are on some sort of mission together." She assures us that "the relationship between Burnham and Book is definitely be going to be covered. It's part of the story," but the final season also involves "a lot of relationships" among the Discovery crew, she notes: "There's no stone left unturned... We dig into some of everything in Season 5."

But could we see familiar faces outside of the Discovery crew in the final season as well? (Like Burnham's brother Spock, played by Ethan Peck, perhaps?) Martin-Green was coy on that one, but she did allow: "I hope those chances are good."
