“The fifth and final season will find Captain Burnham and the crew of the U.S.S. Discovery uncovering a mystery that will send them on an epic adventure across the galaxy to find an ancient power whose very existence has been deliberately hidden for centuries. But there are others on the hunt as well…dangerous foes who are desperate to claim the prize for themselves and will stop at nothing to get it.”

“Even though the stakes are as high as they could possibly be, ‘cause there’s a big thing - there’s a BIG THING in season 5 - there is also a great sense of adventure and fun that we were really adamant about injecting into the show. So it’s a bit of a tonal shift that I think people will enjoy.”
