We’re probably still six months away from the final voyages of the starship Discovery, but today at San Diego Comic Con — where neither actors nor writers attended, focused on their striking efforts for fair wages — Paramount+ released a lengthy preview clip from Star Trek: Discovery’s fifth and final season.
 

 
In this new clip from Discovery Season 5 — set to arrive in “early 2024” — Captain Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) takes on a pair of intergalactic outlaws on the run with a prize Burnham is seeking to keep from their hands.
 
The streamer also released a behind-the-scenes teaser for the upcoming season.
 

After failing to stop Moll (Eve Harlow) and accomplice L’ak (Elias Toufexis) from stealing their bounty, Burnham is blown out into space as they escape… only to land on the outer hull of their ship just as it blasts into warp speed.
 

While Captain Saru (Doug Jones), Lt. Commander Detmer (Emily Coutts), and the crew of the USS Discovery chase the renegade ship, Burnham works to stop the criminals’ engines — which is when Captain Rayner (Callum Keith Rennie) and his starship USS Antares arrive on the scene, struggling to keep up with the fleeing vessel while trying desperately to maintain a tractor beam lock.

The first tease for Discovery’s final season was released last October at New York Comic Con, and the series was surprisingly cancelled earlier this year. Additional writing and filming were completed ahead of the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes to craft the Season 5 finale into a wrap-up for the entire series.

Star Trek: Discovery will return sometime in early 2024 on Paramount+ in the United States and several other geographic reasons; in Canada, the show airs on CTV Sci Fi Channel and Crave
