Star Trek: Discovery Season 5 to begin streaming April 4th with a special two-episode premiere

Following weeks of rumors and speculation, Paramount+ announced that the fifth and final season of Star Trek: Discovery will premiere on April 4, 2024 — with the first two episodes of the series’ 10-episode final season available to stream that day.

Season 5 synopsis

The fifth and final season 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.
