“Star Trek: Discovery ss 5”: release date, announcement

Fans are eagerly awaiting the sequel to the fantastic TV series “Star Trek: Discovery”. And creators Bryan Fuller and Alex Kurtzman hope to release Season 5 in early 2023. The exact date of the premiere has not yet been announced.

Plot

On board the Shenzhou ship, work is in full swing to establish contact with new civilizations. Burnham loves her job because she doesn’t have anything else. As a little girl, Michael was attacked by the Klingon race, who were already famous for their love of fighting. Having destroyed all her people, the killers did not have time to get to the baby.

In the following years, Michael was trained by none other than Spock, a Vulcan with a strange fate. It is he who will play a decisive role in the defense of civilization in decades. Michael was proud to call him a brother, but as she got older, she did something that Spock could not forgive her. In adulthood, they did not get in touch with each other for a long time.

Only a strange breakdown helped Burnham see her brother. When the captain allowed her to go in search of the creature that broke the antenna, Burnham found herself near the Klingon ship. One of them attacked her, but at the last moment she managed to repel the attack, albeit with heavy losses. Back on her ship, she pleads with Philippa to believe her that the Klingons are not extinct. The captain thinks Michael is crazy.

The antenna was broken so that other ships could not see them. Having built a haven from the coffins of their fellows, the Klingons bided their time and built up their strength for many years. Seeing a ship belonging to the Empire, the enemies decided to attack. Philippa had to admit that the girl was telling the truth. Barely surviving the attack, the ship’s crew fully admit that the Klingons have returned.

This unpleasant event is overshadowed by other problems: the ship has suffered significant damage, and it is necessary to help other space objects on which a nuisance could have happened. Along with the solution of the tasks, inextricably linked with the past, Burnham goes in search of answers in the present…

Actors and their roles

Interesting Facts

1. Since 2016, as soon as the first shooting days of “Star Trek” kicked off, actress Sonequa Martin-Green was not involved in any side projects. She is often called to act in films, but the girl does not want to completely immerse herself in work — in 2020, Martin-Green had a daughter, which became a reason for the actress to visit home more often. She now has two children.
2. Jason Isaacs, a full-time TV series star as Gabriel Lorca, worked for the “Harry Potter” franchise for several years. The most attentive viewers can recognize Lucius Malfoy in him, who lived in the form of a Death Eater.
3. In 2018, CBS Television Studios signed a 5-year contract with the creators of the series to show the short films “Short Treks”. They will go into more detail about the lives of some of the characters who were not given airtime on the original TV show. To fill this gap, the studio gave Alex Kurtzman $ 600,000 for short films.
