Feb. 14 (UPI) -- Star Trek: Discovery will return for a fifth and final season in April.

In Season 5, Captain Burnham and the crew of the U.S.S. Discovery uncover "a mystery that will send them on an epic adventure across the galaxy to find an ancient power whose very existence has been deliberately hidden for centuries."

"But there are others on the hunt as well... dangerous foes who are desperate to claim the prize for themselves and will stop at nothing to get it," an official synopsis reads.

Star Trek: Discovery is created by Bryan Fuller and Alex Kurtzman, with Kurtzman and Michelle Paradise to serve as showrunners on Season 5.

The series originally premiered on CBS in 2017.
