Star Trek: Discovery's newest cast member, Elias Toufexis, shares images of season 5's new alien characters and starship to hype up the upcoming final season. The combined WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes wreaked havoc with Paramount+'s plans to build excitement for Star Trek: Discovery season 5 throughout 2023. Now that the strikes are over, actors and creatives can finally publicly speak about struck work. In Star Trek: Discovery's case, anticipation is growing for the still undated premiere of the final season, which is the biggest Star Trek event Paramount+ has slated for 2024.
On Twitter/X, Elias Toufexis posted his excitement at playing L'ak, one of Star Trek: Discovery season 5's new alien characters. Along with his partner Moll (Eve Harlow), L'ak is a dangerous outlaw hunting for Discovery season 5's prize, which is called "the greatest treasure in the known galaxy." Check out Elias' post of L'ak's starship below:
Toufexis also posted a photo of L'ak and Moll together. Possibly two couriers with past ties to Cleveland "Book" Booker (David Ayala), Moll and L'ak run afoul of Captain Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) in footage of Star Trek: Discovery season 5 released at this past summer's San Diego Comic-Con. Check out the image of L'ak and Moll below:
