Sonequa Martin-Green is taking her last ride as Captain Michael Burnham in Star Trek: Discovery season 5. As the series lead and a producer, Martin-Green has portrayed a revolutionary Star Trek heroine, taking Burnham from mutineer to Captain in Discovery‘s 5 seasons.
In Star Trek: Discovery season 5, Captain Burnham leads the USS Discovery on a treasure hunt for an ancient galactic power, which is sought after by new foes Moll (Eve Harlow) and L’ak (Elias Toufexis), as well as rival Starfleet Captain Rayner (Callum Keith Rennie). Burnham also reunites with her former flame, Cleveland Booker (David Ajala).
Screen Rant interviewed Sonequa Martin-Green prior to Star Trek: Discovery season 5’s world premiere at SXSW to discuss Captain Burnham’s journey, Discovery season 5’s new faces, and Burnham and Book’s complicated relationship status.
Screen Rant: In Discovery season 5, Burnham’s asking big questions, capital B big questions. She’s searching for something and not just the treasure. What can you tell me about Burnham’s big questions and her personal journey?
In season 5, there are these great new characters that come in. Captain Rayner is amazing. Such a different vibe, like oil and water with Burnham. Tell me about working with Callum Keith Rennie.
Burnham and Book are obviously endgame. It’s one of the best love stories ever in Star Trek.
What is your take on their relationship in season 5 and what David brings to your chemistry?
Relationship status?
