Adam B. Vary Senior Entertainment Writer The “Star Trek” Universe unveiled several first looks of its Paramount+ TV series at San Diego Comic-Con on Saturday, including an extended clip from the fifth and final season of “Star Trek: Discovery,” a trailer and premiere date for the fourth season of “Star Trek: Lower Decks,” and a trailer for the upcoming musical episode of “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds,” currently streaming its second season. The panel ended with a screening of the “Strange New Worlds” episode featuring the stars of the animated “Lower Decks” — which will be available on Paramount+ early, starting at 4 p.m. PT / 7 p.m. ET on Saturday.
All the preview videos are below. In the “Discovery” clip, Capt. Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) encounters three new characters introduced for Season 5. First, she comes upon two mercenary scavengers, Moll (Eve Harlow) and L’ak (Elias Toufexis), who possess an artifact that Burnham is also seeking. When they escape, Burnham engages in an unconventional pursuit; she’s joined by another Starfleet captain, Rayner (Callum Keith Rennie), along with the crew of her ship, the U.S.S. Discovery — joined by Federation operative Kovich, played by director David Cronenberg since Season 3 of the series.
In the final season of “Discovery,” which premieres in early 2024, Burnham and the Discovery crew are seeking “an ancient power whose very existence has been deliberately hidden for centuries,” according to an official release. The rest of the cast includes Doug Jones, Anthony Rapp, Mary Wiseman, Wilson Cruz, David Ajala and Blu del Barrio. Executive producers Alex Kurtzman and Michelle Paradise serve as co-showrunners; Heather Kadin, Aaron Baiers, Olatunde Osunsanmi, Frank
