Paramount+ announced today that Star Trek: Discovery will be coming to an end after its upcoming fifth season. It has been nearly a year since the sci-fi drama last aired a new episode, and fans will have to wait about another year until it returns for its final season, which won't air until early 2024.
"Star Trek: Discovery is a perennial favorite on the service, near and dear to the hearts of legions of 'Star Trek' fans as well as all of us here at Paramount+," said Tanya Giles, chief programming officer at Paramount Streaming. "The series and its incredible cast and creatives ushered in a new era for 'Star Trek' when it debuted over six years ago, embracing the future of streaming with serialized storytelling, bringing to life deep and complex characters that honor Gene Roddenberry's legacy of representing diversity and inclusion, and pushing the envelope with award-winning world-building. This final season will see our beloved crew take on a new adventure and we can't wait to celebrate the series' impact on the franchise leading up to its final season early next year."
Taking place 10 years before the events of the original 'Star Trek' series, Star Trek: Discovery follows a brand new crew on a new ship as they take on missions to find undiscovered worlds and lifeforms during the Federation-Klingon war.
Season 5 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 dangerous foes also on the hunt, desperate to claim the prize for themselves.

What's needed is to go back to season 1 of this series.. a rebellion against Star Fleet from within.... that was what made this series interesting at its inception. It then quickly faded into the standard tropes and carefulness to not offend any "delicate snowflakes".
So sick of every show catering to less than 5% of the US population.
I'm sure you only watch to make references, and don't have a bedroom that looks like the bridge of the Enterprise.
Calling you a "He-Karen" was on target.
Keep pretending to be a "real man's man" despite being a nerd who would cry if anyone over 5'6" approached him.
I did good just to remember that planet from 30? years ago. I watch only once so I have to defer to the groupies.
It's all we need to know about Steve over here. Well that, and his word salad posts.
I couldn't disagree more with the desire for Star Trek to return to a facsimile of the original with Kirk. Spock would be the only thing worthy to keep around, if Nemoy was living. What's needed is to completely cut the cord with all known incarnations of Star Trek. I remember Jolene Blalock (Enterprise) being pissed off because they brought in kahuna Jonathan Frakes at the very end and he didn't fit and more or less wrecked the end. She was right.
The same episodes are repeated with alterations ad nauseam. Should Star Trek reappear (I predict it's all but gone now), they should keep the name only - with all new ideas for exploring space, for ship and crew - except the original motto was good. The not resurrected not woke Star Trek could be called Star Trek: Disconnected.
