‘Star Trek: Discovery’ Star Sonequa Martin-Green on the Show’s Unexpected Final Season, the ‘Pressure’ of Representation and Taking the ‘Trek’ Cruise


Sonequa Martin-Green learned that the fifth season of "Star Trek: Discovery" would be its last only after she'd finished filming.

Those memories — and that instinctive sense of the character’s significance — have stayed with Martin-Green through her seven years making “ Star Trek: Discovery ” as the first Black woman to headline a series in the venerated science fiction franchise. “We wanted to conclude on a high note, and it was so important to honor the series’ incredible legacy and to give it the final season it deserves,” says Jeff Grossman, EVP of Paramount+ programming. Several characters make momentous life choices while the crew of the USS Discovery embark on a season-long adventure that feels like a culmination of sorts for everything they’ve experienced to that point.
