Star Trek fans have been treated to an all-new look at Season 4 of Star Trek Discovery — the first trailer for the upcoming season has been released on Saturday.
‘Star Trek Discovery’ will officially premiere on November 18, exclusively on Paramount+, reports Variety.
Season 4 of ‘Discovery’ picks up after Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) was promoted to captain in the Season 3 finale, the first time a Black woman has sat in the captain’s chair in a live-action ‘Trek’ series.
Set nearly 1,000 years further into the future than any other ‘Trek’ series, Season 4 will find the crew of the Discovery contending with a massive anomaly that is five light-years in size, threatening to destroy life throughout the galaxy. The event is so catastrophic that it pulls together worlds that are in the Federation and outside of it.
Confronting the mysterious anomaly is the story element that looms over Burnham and crew this season, and if the trailer is to be believed, the Discovery’s crew truly is about to go where no man has gone before. And nothing is more terrifying than the unknown, but the longer they avoid tackling it straight-on, the more lives that could be put at risk. And it wouldn’t be ‘Star Trek Discovery’ if our motley crew wasn’t disobeying direct orders and jumping straight into the fray — although it’s always fun to hear a wearied Tig Notaro in any situation.
The future remains uncertain, but the Captain in me knows anything is possible, Burnham says, and with her loyal crew behind her, it seems there’s nothing this group can’t do.
‘Discovery’ was officially announced as coming back for Season 4 back in November, when the cast was reported to have returned to begin production, and cast member Doug Jones, who plays the Kelpien Saru, confirmed that filming had wrapped on the fourth season back in August. In addition to Martin-Green and Jones, Season 4 of ‘Star Trek: Discovery’ brings back several DISCO crew mainstays, including Paul Stamets (Anthony Rapp) and Sylvia Tilly (Mary Wiseman), and Season 3 newcomers David Ajala, Blu del Barrio, and Ian Alexander will also be coming back for the fourth season.
Season 4 will premiere on November 18 on Paramount Plus in the US, on Bell Media’s CTV Sci-Fi Channel and the Crave streaming service in Canada, and on Netflix in 190 other countries.
