Star Trek: Discovery is coming to an end after five seasons this April, and its final chapter might be the best one yet. Its stars Sonequa Martin-Green and David Ajala recently opened up about its ending and said that the final season will be all about relationships.

Martin-Green dropped some hints about the show’s big finale in a recent interview with IndieWire. She said that the complicated relationship between her character Burnham and David Ajala’s Book will be one of the pivotal points of Season 5.

“Someone did say to me, this season is about relationships and I thought that was very interesting. And so you’re not just gonna see those dynamics play out between Burnham and Book. They’re played out between everyone,” Martin-Green told IndieWire.

Ajala echoed her statement in a separate interview, saying that Burnham and Book have a love that is worth fighting for, but added they’ll face some challenges because “In the course of true love, nothing runs smooth.”

Star Trek: Discovery will return for its final 10-episode season on Paramount+ on April 4. In addition to Martin-Green and Ajala, Season 5 will also star Doug Jones, Anthony Rapp, Mary Wiseman, Wilson Cruz, Blu del Barrio, and Callum Keith Rennie.
