The first trailer for season four of Star Trek: Discovery has landed online, and it looks like Captain Burham (Sonequa Martin-Green) and his crew are ready to face their toughest threat yet on Paramount Plus. A first look at the new season, also known as First Contact Day for Star Trek enthusiasts, was released on April XNUMX, showing what Trekkies can expect from the next episode of Discovery. As the teaser suggests, it looks like a new galactic opponent will wreak havoc not only on the crew of Discovery, but on the universe as a whole. Season four will also mark the first time that Captain Burnham will lead the USS Discovery after his promotion at the end of Season Three. As the threats reduce, this cosmos-spanning opponent will likely test his limits from his captain status. Check out the trailer, via the Paramount Plus Twitter account, below:

What is Star Trek: Discovery Season Four about?
Unsurprisingly, little is known about the plot of season four. However, to coincide with the trailer's release, the official Star Trek site has provided a synopsis of what the upcoming season will entail for Captain Burham and his company. "The fourth season of Star Trek: Discovery finds Captain Burnham and the crew of the USS Discovery facing a threat unlike any they have encountered," the brief description reveals. "With federated and non-federated worlds feeling the impact, they must face the unknown and work together to ensure a hopeful future for all." As the trailer shows, a 5-light-year gravitational anomaly threatens the galaxy and it seems that no one is going to be safe from its effects. This is due to the unpredictable nature of the anomaly, which means that it can appear anywhere in the cosmos and potentially wipe out any civilization it comes into contact with. It is unclear how the USS Discovery, as well as her friends and foes, will stop this gigantic space threat. What we do know, however, is that we won't have enough time to find out. Star Trek: Discovery Season Four will be released later in XNUMX on Paramount Plus in the US. Hopefully an international release date, which will see season four hit Netflix, arrives at a similar time.
