Star Trek fans have been waiting patiently for the fifth season of Star Trek: Discovery<\/a>, and now thanks to New York Comic Con we\u2019ve got our first action-packed teaser for the new run of episodes.<\/p>\n

The trailer shows the crew being sent on a mission to find \u201cthe greatest treasure in the known galaxy\u201d, with plenty of space flights, shoot outs and explosions ensuing. As Sonequa Martin-Green\u2019s Michael Burnham<\/a> says, \u201cnever a dull moment\u201d.<\/p>\n

The official synopsis for season 5, which is set to debut next year on Paramount Plus<\/a>, says: \u201cIn Season 5, Captain Burnham and the crew of the U.S.S. Discovery uncover a mystery that sends them on an epic adventure across the galaxy to find an ancient power whose very existence has been deliberately hidden for centuries.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut there are others on the hunt as well\u2026 dangerous foes who are desperate to claim the prize for themselves and will stop at nothing to get it.\u201d You can watch the full teaser trailer right here now.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Alongside the teaser, the show\u2019s Comic Con panel also gave us details of three new characters joining the series, played by Callum Keith Rennie (<a href=\""https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/sci-fi\/umbrella-academy-season-4-release-date\/"\">The Umbrella Academy<\/a>), Eve Harlow (<a href=\""https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/sci-fi\/ming-na-wen-agents-of-shield-exclusive-newsupdate\/"\">Agents of SHIELD<\/a>) and Elias Toufexis (Shadowhunters).<\/p>\n<p>Rennie plays Rayner, who is described as \u201ca gruff, smart Starfleet Captain who holds a clear line between commander and crew \u2013 he leads, they follow.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRayner\u2019s all about the mission, whatever it may be, and he doesn\u2019t do niceties along the way; his feeling is, you get the job done and apologise later. He has a storied track record of wartime success, but in times of peace, he struggles. Collaboration is not his strong suit. That said, if it serves the greater good he\u2019s willing to learn \u2026 but it won\u2019t be easy.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\""twitter-tweet"\" data-dnt=\""true"\"><p lang=\""en"\" dir=\""ltr"\">Three new characters are coming to <a href=\""https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/StarTrekDiscovery?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"\">#StarTrekDiscovery<\/a> Season 5.
