Paramount+ has officially confirmed that the upcoming fifth season of Star Trek: Discovery will be the last. The premiere of the final season has been moved to early 2024.

Star Trek: Discovery kicked off the new era of Star Trek, launching on CBS All Access in 2017. Six years later, there are now a total of five Star Trek series on what has become the Paramount+ streaming service, including the Discovery spinoff Strange New Worlds. Leading up to the final season, Paramount+ is planning to honor the legacy of Discovery with “year-long celebrations and appearances at key events in markets around the world,” according to the official announcement released today that confirmed the news about the series ending.

Production on season 5 wrapped up last November, however, Variety reports additional filming is taking place. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the additional filming will “help craft a conclusion for the series.”

Here is the new official synopsis:

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.
