This post contains spoilers for the first three seasons of Star Trek: Discovery, which are currently streaming on Paramount+.
As part of the First Contact Day online festivities on Monday, April 5th, 2021, a new trailer for the upcoming fourth season of Star Trek: Discovery was released.
The season looks to be picking up with the new status quo established in the season three finale of Discovery, with Captain Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) boldly leading her crew where no one has gone before – which in this case, means continuing to explore the brave new world that served as the backdrop for the third season (nearly 1,000 years into the future from Disco’s temporal point of origin).
But perhaps one of the most striking details about the teaser, which promises that the crew of the Disco will be facing even more bleak circumstances this season, includes the debut of the crew’s brand-new uniforms!
(As for the crew of the Enterprise, we’ll be seeing more of their further exploits on Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, which spins out of the second season of Discovery).
The teaser features brief appearances from the members of the Disco crew, including recent recruits Cleveland “Book” Booker (Ajala), Adira Tal (del Barrio), and Gray Tal (Alexander)…
And never fear: the teaser confirms that Book’s sidekick, Grudge the cat (played by lookalike sibling Maine Coon felines Leeu and Durban), will be returning when the fourth season arrives on Paramount+ later this year.
The teaser for Discovery was accompanied by new teasers for the second seasons of Star Trek: Picard and Star Trek: Lower Decks. Will you be beaming aboard the Discovery, the Stargazer, or the Cerritos later this year? Let The Beat know what you think on social media @comicsbeat or in the comment section!
