Expected Storyline of Star Trek Discovery Season 5
You can check out the trailer to get a hint of what will be the storyline of the upcoming season 5. After seeing the trailer, it looks like the instalment will be zeroed in on a treasure hunt. However, the storyline will mainly revolve around Captain Burham and the USS Discovery’s crew’s galaxy-crossing treasure hunt. Booker will be the primary focus of the season.
Booker had a new character arc in season 4; presumably, season 5 will dive further into his life. Also, rebuilding of the Federation will be the major focus of the upcoming season, as it has all but lost power.
