JUNE 15, 2022 - Last Friday we let you know about Michelle Paradise enigmatically tweeting “Hello, Toronto,” implying that filming on season five of Star Trek: Discovery would soon be underway. Well, you can stock up on the popcorn, as now the word is out that filming is underway.

While Paradise went so far as to spoil the presence of Orange Cone in her tweet on Monday announcing “Day 1 of #StarTrekDiscovery season 5,”  motion graphics designer Timothy Peel was more straightforward on Tuesday with his post saying, “We officially started shooting the last ep of SNW SE02 and the first 2 ep of Disco SE05 yesterday.”

And everyone’s favorite Kelpian, Doug Jones, went even farther and posted a video on Saturday of himself with hair clippers and saying, “Sure enough, here comes season five.”

There is no premiere date yet for season five, so you don’t need to make that popcorn yet. Unless you want to catch up on the first four seasons of Discovery, which are streaming now on Paramount+.
