We didn’t get a new trailer for the fourth season of Star Trek: Discovery during the Star Trek Day festivities last month, although we did get a premiere date: November 18, 2021. But we didn’t have that long to wait. The much-anticipated new trailer debuted during Discovery’s New York Comic Con 2021 panel, which included cast members Sonequa Martin-Green, Anthony Rapp, Mary Wiseman, Wilson Cruz, David Ajala, and Blu del Barrio, because well as showrunner and executive producer Michelle Paradise

(Spoilers for prior seasons below. )

As I’ve written previously , in S3, Michael Burnham (Martin-Green), Discovery , and her crew arrived in the future and found that Control’s plan had been thwarted: life still exists. But the galaxy was very different thanks to something called The Burn, a catastrophic event that caused all the particular dilithium in the Milky Way to explode and destroy much associated with Starfleet in the process. In the aftermath, with no warp drive possible, all the planets had become disconnected and were no longer governed by the Federation. Michael did, however , manage to locate one sole Federation liaison on a remote space station with the help of a new ally, Book (David Ajala).
