What’s This TV Show About?
Streaming on the Paramount+ subscription service, the Star Trek: Discovery TV show stars Sonequa Martin-Green, Doug Jones, Anthony Rapp, Mary Wiseman, Wilson Cruz, David Ajala, and Blu del Barrio. A prequel to the original Star Trek series, this drama follows the crew of the USS Discovery of the interstellar government known as the United Federation of Planets (UFP). Season four finds Captain Burnham (Martin-Green) and her crew 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.
Star Trek: Discovery has been renewed for a (final) fifth season which will debut on April 4, 2024. Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
Unless they decide to publicize viewership, it is difficult to predict whether Paramount+ will cancel or renew Star Trek: Discovery for season five. That being said, the Trek franchise is the cornerstone of this streaming service’s original content so I would be surprised if Discovery didn’t reach at least five seasons. I’ll keep my ears open and an eye out for news, and will update this page with breaking developments. Subscribe for free alerts on Star Trek: Discovery cancellation or renewal news.
