This crew will have many more adventures in the future. Star Trek: Discovery has been renewed for a fifth season on the Paramount+ streaming service. There will be 10 episodes.
A sci-fi series, 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.
The fourth season of the series will resume on Thursday, February 10th, and will conclude on March 17th. A premiere date for the fifth season will be announced at some point in the future. All but the second season have launched in the fall.
Today, Paramount+ also announced a second season debut for Star Trek: Picard, a premiere date and an early second season pick up for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, and a fourth season renewal for Star Trek: Lower Decks.
“Four years ago, we made a promise to grow Star Trek into something it had never been before, and thanks to the incredibly hard work done by our many talented showrunners, writers, and directors, along with the extraordinary support of CBS Studios and Paramount+, we’re keeping our word,” said Alex Kurtzman, architect and executive producer, Star Trek franchise. “Now our current shows are set up for the future as we work to build Trek’s next phase of programming for years to come.”
What do you think? Have you kept up with the Star Trek: Discovery TV show? Are you happy to hear that it’s been renewed for a fifth season on Paramount+?
The show is so badly written it’s unwatchable. If you’re a fan of classic Star Trek, it’s downright offensive.
This show went from action and science (season 1 & 2) to bunch of crying, hugs, and unnecessary emotional feelings, makes you wonder how they left space dock with so many tears slicking the decks. And where is the professional military protocol on the ship – out the porthole, that’s where. You cannot have a SciFi show with no science, or a Star Trek show that shoots out more tears than phasers or photon torpedoes. Even STNG had to toughen up Counselor Troy. Cancel Discovery and stick with Picard. Where is Kirk, Sulu, Sisko, and Janeway when you need them.
This show is really bad. Unwatchable. I stopped being interested after season 2. Season 3 forced myself to watch the whole season and season 4 didn’t even get through first 3 episodes. It keeps getting renewed albeit for less and less episodes and budget but it must be doing something for them to keep renewing it.
I love Star Trek Discovery, it has been a great addition to the Star Trek adventure. The cast is great, love Soneque Green as Captain Burnham ( she is awesome). Can’t wait to see what is to come. Action has been phenomenal.
LOVE this program! Each season is more exciting than the prior. I too subscribed to Paramount+ just to watch Star Trek Discovery. Love the cast, the writing, and the production quality.
I love good sci fi – especially the interstellar variety with time travel. STD (unfortunate initials) does not disappoint. The writing is great – love the plot lines, great CGI, and excellent makeup. I’m so looking forward to episodes 8-14 and season 5. I subscribe to Paramount + just so I can watch STD.
I like all star trek discovery seasons i hope they will make many more!!!!
As a major life-long fan of Star Trek I can say that Star Trek is unwatchable under Kurtzman. It takes a lot to kill something that is so loved by so many but he managed to accomplish this. I honestly can’t see how anyone who grew up a Star Trek fan could possibly like the new ST shows like Discovery and Picard.
netflix money is running out. we know the show is terrible and that it bombed. you know the show bombed.
the payed critics with their 80% and upwards scoes on sites like rotten tomatoes cant hide the poor fan reception, and the fact that nobody wants to watch it.
you dont have netflix money anymore, so you WILL have to pay for it yourself.
get out of your sunk cost fallacy, have some dignity and just let it die.
Lets hope the next season, is better than this season. Definitely missing the sharpness of the first 2 seasons. Also the characters have become … boring.
A bit harsh probably, maybe better to stay the crew is boring, with no real ying and yang.
