She’s not ruling out a comeback. <\/p>

After five seasons and 64 episodes over seven years \u2013 making it, chronologically speaking, the longest-running Star Trek<\/a> series ever \u2013 Star Trek: Discovery<\/a> has come to an end.<\/p>\n

The series finale Life, Itself saw a final confrontation between Starfleet and the Breen, and followed Michael Burnham as she solved the mystery of the Progenitors \u2013 before flashing forward in time to reveal that Burnham would go on to become an admiral and start a family with partner Cleveland Booker.<\/p>\n

Of course, just because the series has ended doesn\u2019t necessarily mean it\u2019s the last time we\u2019ll see any of these characters \u2013 yes, we know that Burnham becomes an admiral, and that Tilly becomes the longest-tenured instructor Starfleet Academy ever has, but there are a lot of stories in those intervening years.<\/p>\n

Might we one day see Sonequa Martin-Green return to the captain\u2019s chair and fill in some of those stories?<\/p>\n

After all, Patrick Stewart<\/a> returned to the role of Captain Picard in Star Trek: Picard<\/a>, decades after the end of The Next Generation, for example, while Kate Mulgrew similarly reprised the part of Captain Janeway in Star Trek: Prodigy in 2021, long after the end of Star Trek: Voyager.<\/p>\n

According to the actor herself, who spoke to RadioTimes.com<\/a> ahead of the premiere of Discovery\u2019s fifth season, it\u2019s certainly possible.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, the door is definitely open,\u201d Martin-Green smiles, obviously fond of playing Michael Burnham.<\/p>\n

\u201cRight? You know, there\u2019s no real goodbyes in Trek. So, I would definitely be willing \u2013 I think we all would, you know, it\u2019s in a special place in our hearts.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whether we\u2019ll see Martin-Green return to the bridge of a starship in decades to come (Star Trek: Burnham in 2045, perhaps?) or see the crew of the Discovery lead a guest lecture or two in the upcoming Star Trek: Starfleet Academy spin-off is anyone\u2019s guess for the moment.<\/p>

Still, even if it\u2019s too early to say whether we\u2019ll see these characters again, it\u2019s easier for Martin-Green to say what she hopes viewers will take from Discovery\u2019s finale.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope that they\u2019re left with hope at the end. I hope that they see themselves, that they see examples of their potential.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope that they find ways in their own lives to implement these truths \u2013 to implement the unconditional love that\u2019s really at the at the root of the story, reaching out, cross-connecting, and also reaching up for yourself, thinking bigger, thinking outside the box, stretching your vision and your imagination all the way up to the divine.\u201d<\/p>\n
