Summary
Star Trek: Discovery season 5 will have an "incredibly satisfying ending" according to executive producer Alex Kurtzman.
Star Trek: Discovery's fifth and final season was confirmed after Paramount+ announced the show's cancellation in March 2023. Although no trailer or release date was unveiled at NYCC, fans are eagerly awaiting its premiere in 2024.
Star Trek: Discovery season 5 will feature a highly satisfying conclusion, according to Alex Kurtzman, the executive producer of Star Trek. This announcement was made during New York Comic Con in 2023. Unfortunately, despite being in the final stages of production, the series was unexpectedly canceled by Paramount+ in March 2023. As a result, the fifth season will serve as the show's ultimate season. Reshoots were carried out in the spring of 2023 to transform the season finale into a proper series finale. Despite the setback, Star Trek: Discovery season 5 is still set to premiere on Paramount+ in 2024, as confirmed by Alex Kurtzman. In an interview with TrekMovie, Kurtzman expressed his thoughts on the franchise and specifically praised Sonequa Martin-Green, the star and producer of the show, who portrays Captain Michael Burnham.
No Star Trek: Discovery Season 5 Trailer At NYCC Was Disappointing
We have completed the production of the show and it is scheduled to broadcast in the beginning of next year. The ending is extraordinarily gratifying, especially considering the emotional attachment I have for this show. Sonequa Martin-Green delivered a remarkable performance, perhaps the best of her career. I am confident that all of you will thoroughly enjoy it.It is exciting news that Star Trek: Discovery season 5 will be available for streaming on Paramount+ in 2024. The ending promises to be a fitting conclusion to Discovery's role as the show that revitalized the Star Trek franchise. Furthermore, Sonqua Martin-Green delivers an exceptional performance as Captain Michael Burnham. However, it's unexpected that a trailer for Star Trek: Discovery season 5 was not revealed at NYCC. Last year, during NYCC 2022, Paramount+ released the first teaser trailer for Discovery season 5. Additionally, five minutes of footage from Discovery season 5 was unveiled at San Diego Comic-Con after nine months. Regrettably, there were no key art images or a poster for Discovery season 5 showcased during NYCC. Moreover, it is disappointing that there is still no official release date announced for Star Trek: Discovery season 5 in 2024.
Following the announcement in March that season 5 of Star Trek: Discovery would be its final season, Paramount+ initially planned to hold media events to pay tribute to the series' status as Paramount+'s flagship Star Trek show. These events were meant to lead up to the premiere of season 5, which was originally slated for fall 2023 but was later rescheduled for "early 2024." However, the combined strikes by the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) hindered Paramount+'s plans for an extended farewell for Discovery. It seems that Paramount+ is now waiting for the resolution of the actors' strike before fully promoting Star Trek: Discovery season 5. As we approach 2024, there is very little new information available about the final voyages of the USS Discovery, leaving fans eagerly anticipating what lies ahead.
