Star Trek: Discovery will premiere its fifth and final season in March at SXSW. After a long delay resulting from the dual WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, Paramount+ previously announced that Star Trek: Discovery season 5 will premiere on the streaming service in April 2024. Discovery season 5 is the flagship Star Trek on Paramount+ series’ final season following the show’s surprise cancelation in March 2023. This means Discovery season 5 will premiere one year after Paramount+ announced the end of Captain Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) and the USS Discovery’s 32nd-century voyages.

Star Trek on Paramount+’s official Instagram account (@startrekonpplus) announced that Star Trek: Discovery season 5 will have its world premiere in March at SXSW. The South by Southwest Conference and Festivals takes place in Austin, Texas on March 8-16, 2024. Star Trek: Discovery season 5 will be part of SXSW’s TV Spotlight event, with screening info TBA.

Star Trek: Discovery Season 5 – Episode Titles For Final Season Revealed

Star Trek: Discovery only has 10 episodes left, and the titles for each season 5 episode, which is also the final season, have been revealed.

What To Expect From Star Trek: Discovery Season 5

A hunt for the greatest treasure in the known galaxy.

Star Trek: Discovery‘s creative team and cast didn’t expect season 5 to be the final season, and the upcoming 10 episodes of the series were designed with an Indiana Jones-style adventure in mind. Star Trek: Discovery season 5 is a hunt for “the greatest treasure in the known galaxy”, said to be an ancient power that has been dormant for centuries. Captain Michael Burnham and the USS Discovery will compete with new aliens, including mercenaries L’ak (Elias Toufexis) and Moll (Eve Harlow), for the prize, and Burnham must also contend with Starfleet Captain Rayner (Callum Keith Rennie), who is no fan of Michael’s.

Following the announcement of Star Trek: Discovery‘s cancelation, reshoots were held in spring 2023 before the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes to turn Discovery‘s season 5 finale into an ending for the entire series. Jonathan Frakes directed the first half of Discovery‘s two-part ending, episode 9, “Lagrange Point,” while Olatunde Osunsanmi helmed Discovery‘s final episode (and the reshoots), titled “Life, Itself,” As the only live-action Star Trek series in 2024, Star Trek: Discovery is the biggest Star Trek on Paramount+ event of the year, and the lucky audience at SXSW will be the first to see the world premiere episode of Star Trek: Discovery season 5.
