On Saturday at New York Comic Con, Paramount+ revealed the trailer for Star Trek: Discovery's fourth season.

According to the official synopsis revealed via a press release, season four finds Captain Burnham and the crew of the USS Discovery facing a threat unlike any they've ever encountered. With Federation and non-Federation worlds alike feeling the impact, they must confront the unknown and work together to ensure a hopeful future for all. You can watch the trailer below:

As revealed on Star Trek Day, Star Trek: Discovery will return for its fourth season on Thursday, November 18th. Star Trek: Discovery streams exclusively for Paramount+ in the United States.

The new season puts plenty of pressure on Discovery's new captain based on the trailer and key art. Speaking to ComicBook.com in July, Martin-Green expressed what Burnham sitting in the captain's seat means to her.

 "That's such a big deal to me," Martin-Green said. "Being captain now of that franchise solidified at the helm of that ship in the franchise's history as a Black woman, huge for me and, in general, for the franchise itself."

The Star Trek: Discovery panel included series stars Sonequa Martin-Green, Anthony Rapp, Mary Wiseman, Wilson Cruz, David Ajala, Blu del Barrio, and showrunner and executive producer Michelle Paradise. Journalist Karama Horne moderated.
