Release schedule for all 10 episodes of Star Trek: Discovery season 5

In under a week, Star Trek fans will be watching the fifth and final season of Star Trek: Discovery, the Star Trek series that kicked off a whole era of Star Trek series. Picard, Strange New Worlds, Lower Decks, Prodigy...it all started with Discovery, which aired its first episode back in 2017.

The beginning of the end begins on Thursday, April 4, when Paramount+ will upload two episodes at once. Episodes will come out on every Thursday thereafter until this story is told. Here's the full schedule:

• Episode 401: “Red Directive,” April 4

• Episode 402: “Under the Twin Moons,” April 4

• Episode 403: “Jinaal,” April 11

• Episode 404: “Face the Strange,” April 18

• Episode 405: “Mirrors,” April 25

• Episode 409: “Lagrange Point,” May 23

Speaking toSFX Magazine,Star Trek: Discovery showrunner Michelle Paradise even shared little hints about what's to come in each new episode:

• Episode 401: “Red Directive”: “Launching the mission. The mission is a red directive. An exciting mission that launches us onto our season, and it’s super-secret.”

• Episode 402: “Under the Twin Moons”: “A lovely Burnham and Saru episode.”

• Episode 403: “Jinaal”: “Culber like you’ve never seen him before.”

• Episode 404: “Face the Strange”: “Mind bending and exciting, and a heck of a lot of fun.”

• Episode 405: “Mirrors”: “[Long pause] I’m trying to think of something that won’t be spoilery! Surprising encounters and surprising new information about our heroes.”

• Episode 406: “Whistlespeak”: “Oh, classic TOS-style adventure!”

• Episode 407: “Erigah”: “Tense and unexpected.”

• Episode 408: “Labyrinths”: “Oh, just an incredible gorgeous location, incredible scope and a singular journey for Burnham.”

• Episode 409: “Lagrange Point”: “Discovery in a location where you’ve never seen her before.”

• Episode 410: “Life, Itself”: “Part of me wants to say the end of an era. But that just sounds so sad. I don’t wanna say that! Hopefully it’s all the things that Discovery has always been. Action, adventure, heart, family, love, sci-fi wonderfulness, beautifully acted, beautifully directed, production values, gorgeous VFX. It’s everything we have always had in Discovery in one episode.”

Even as Discovery ends, its legacy will live on. And I don't just say that metaphorically. There's a Section 31 movie in the works starring Michelle Yeoh as Philippa Georgiou, the semi-reformed tyrant character she debuted on Discovery. Star Trek: Discovery ushered in a whole new era, and while it will be sad to see it end, hopefully it will go out on a high.

All new episodes of Star Trek: Discovery will air on Paramount+.
