We’re counting down the days until Star Trek: Discovery returns on November 18, but to hold you over through the next six weeks, a brand new trailer just beamed down out of New York Comic Con!
Discovery’s cast and showrunner Michelle Paradise began their panel at today’s New York Comic Con event today with a look ahead to the upcoming fourth season of the show, where the galaxy is being threatened by a rogue gravitational anomaly capable of destroying ships, planets, and anything else that gets into its way.
(If you missed the first Season 4 teaser back in April, check that out here!)
Along with the new trailer, the Discovery gang also unveiled the year’s new key art, focusing on the newly-minted Captain Michael Burnham finally taking the USS Discovery’s captain’s chair as her own.

That fast-edited trailer holds a lot of imagery from the upcoming season, so here are some of the more notable things we’ve been able to glean about Discovery Season 4!
In addition to all of that, we also get our first look at a newly-redesigned longtime Star Trek alien: for the first time in live-action since 2002’s “Acquisition,” the Ferengi return in the form of a 32nd century Starfleet captain.
While the pointed segments of this Ferengi’s ears may be a new addition to the species, they actually do date back to Andy Probert’s original 1987-era concept drawings for the large-eared race from the early days of Star Trek: The Next Generation.
(The revised look is certain to bring about a lot of discussion among fans, as this is certainly the most modified alien design since the revamped Discovery-era Klingons debuted in 2017.)
We’ll bring you all the news from the Star Trek: Discovery New York Comic Con panel after the weekend’s events conclude — but in the meantime, let us know what you think of the poster, the trailer, and everything you’ve seen so far!
Star Trek: Discovery returns for its fourth season November 18 on Paramount+ in the United States and on CTV Sci Fi Channel in Canada, followed by a November 19 return to Netflix in all other international territories.
