2024 is set to be a transformative year for the Star Trek brand. Aside from those potential Paramount merger talks with Warner Bros. there’s also the impending ending of the first series in the franchise’s recent resurgence, Star Trek: Discovery.
The series fifth and final season was recently confirmed to premiere in April 2024. Though no specific premiere date has been confirmed we now news on each of the final ten episodes’ writers and potential titles. The news comes from a listing on the Writer’s Guild website (first spotted by TrekMovie.com). For now we’d squarely label these titles as subject to change but they certainly offer an insight in to what is to come:
- Episode 1: “Red Directive” (Michelle Paradise)
- Episode 2: “Under the Twin Moons” (Alan McElroy)
- Episode 3: “Jinaal” (Kyle Jarrow & Lauren Wilkinson)
- Episode 4: “Face the Strange” (Sean Cochran)
- Episode 5: “Mirrors” (Johanna Lee & Carlos Cisco)
- Episode 6: “Whistlespeak” (Kenneth Lin & Brandon A. Schultz)
- Episode 7 “Erigah” (M. Raven Metzner)
- Episode 8: “Labyrinths” (Lauren Wilkinson & Eric J. Robbins)
- Episode 9: “Lagrange Point” (Sean Cochran & Ari Friedman)
- Episode 10: “Life, Itself” (Kyle Jarrow & Michelle Paradise)
As is usually the case, Discovery showrunner Michelle Paradise has a writer credit on the season premiere and will co-writer the series’ finale with Kyle Jarrow.
