When Does Every Star Trek: Discovery Season 5 Episode Premiere (& How Many Are There)?

Here is when every episode of Star Trek: Discovery season 5 will premiere on Paramount+. The Discovery season 5 episode titles and the writers of each Discovery season 5 episode were previously announced in January 2024, along with a general premiere date of April 2024. Discovery season 5 promises a 10-episode adventure that’s tonally different from previous seasons of Star Trek: Discovery, with Captain Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) and the USS Discovery taking part in a race for what is said to be “the greatest treasure in the known galaxy”.

Star Trek: Discovery season 5 premieres with 2 episodes on Thursday, April 4, 2024. Little is known about the plot of Star Trek: Discovery season 5, since the episode titles are free from any potential spoilers, and Discovery season 5 trailers and clips don’t give much away. Although there are few details revealed, the Discovery trailer from New York Comic Con 2022 and exclusive clips that were released at San Diego Comic-Con in July 2023 and at CCXP in Brazil in December 2023 all promised the same fast-paced action set pieces and character-focused drama that audiences have come to expect from Discovery as the flagship Star Trek show on Paramount+.

Star Trek: Discovery season 5 is the final season of Paramount+’s flagship series, and here’s everything we know about Captain Burnham’s last voyages.

Star Trek: Discovery Season 5 Episode Premiere Dates

Discovery Season 5 Streams Thursdays in April & May 2024

The dates and titles in the Star Trek: Discovery season 5 episode list are subject to change prior to their debut on Paramount+, but at the time of this writing, the premiere dates for each of the 10 episodes in Star Trek: Discovery season 5 are as follows:

The two-part Star Trek: Discovery season 5 premiere includes Discovery season 5, episode 1, “Red Directive” and Discovery season 5, episode 2, “Under the Twin Moons”, which will both drop on Paramount+ on April 4, 2024. Following the two-episode season opener, Star Trek: Discovery will continue to stream new episodes every Thursday in April and May 2024.

Star Trek: Discovery Returns for Season 5

Discovery season 5 streaming dates close a 2-year gap between seasons.

It’s been a long wait for more Star Trek: Discovery. The finale of Discovery season 4 streamed on March 17, 2022, meaning the gap of over two years between the end of Discovery season 4 and the start of Discovery season 5 on April 4, 2024, is the longest yet. By contrast, the gap between season 3 and season 4 of Discovery was only 10 months, lasting from January 2021 until November 2021; while a longer period of 18 months lapsed between Discovery‘s 2nd and 3rd seasons. However, the wait will finally end with the announcement of streaming dates for Star Trek: Discovery season 5’s final 10 episodes.

The 10-episode Star Trek: Discovery season 5 will allow for “more episodic adventures,” according to executive producer Michelle Paradise. This kind of more episodic storytelling on Discovery season 5 will also retain an overall arc, similar to the style that has been well-received on spinoff Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. More to the point, the final season of Star Trek: Discovery should be worth the two-year wait, as audiences join Captain Michael Burnham and the USS Discovery’s crew every Thursday this spring on the hunt for a powerful, mysterious artifact.
