Star Trek executive producer Alex Kurtzman says taking “big bold swings” is how the franchise can continue to grow, starting with Star Trek: Discovery bringing movie-quality Star Trek to television. Star Trek: Discovery season 5 premieres on Thursday, April 4, on Paramount+. Discovery, now entering its final season, was the first Star Trek on Paramount+ overseen by Kurtzman and his Secret Hideout single; prior to this, Kurtzman co-wrote J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek (2009) and Star Trek Into Darkness with Roberto Orci.
