In a teaser from the upcoming season, we catch a glimpse of Captain Rayner, portrayed by Callum Keith Rennie. However, his true allegiance to Burnham remains shrouded in uncertainty, leaving us questioning whether he will be a valuable ally or a formidable opponent.

The strikes have impacted the release of Discovery season 5, but fans can expect an exciting final season premiering on Paramount+ in 2024.

Alongside Moll and L'ak, the latest Star Trek: Discovery season 5 clip introduces Captain Rayner, portrayed by Callum Keith Rennie.

The newly released Comic-Con clip from Star Trek: Discovery season 5 potentially features moments from the premiere episode, where the search for "the greatest treasure in the known galaxy" appears to be in progress. Of particular note, Burnham performs a remarkable feat by riding on the hull of Moll and L'ak's ship during warp.

The latest release of footage for Star Trek: Discovery season 5 happened in October 2022, during the New York Comic-Con. It is possible that Paramount+ will unveil a new trailer for season 5 on Star Trek Day in September. Initially, Paramount+ had planned multiple events involving the cast and creative team to generate excitement for the final season of Discovery. However, due to the strikes by WGA and SAG-AFTRA, promotion and production of television shows and movies have been put on hold. The release date for Star Trek: Discovery season 5 in 2024 is uncertain, as Paramount+ likely wants to wait for the resolution of the strikes before giving the final season a substantial promotional push. Currently, this new clip from season 5 of Star Trek: Discovery provides an exhilarating preview of what to expect in Captain Michael Burnham's last adventures. The premiere of Star Trek: Discovery season 5 is set to take place in 2024 exclusively on Paramount+.
