Star Trek: Discovery fans are eagerly anticipating the premiere of season 5 on Thursday, April 4, on Paramount+. Showrunner Michelle Paradise recently shared insights into what viewers can expect from the upcoming season, particularly focusing on the introduction of new characters.
The new season will feature a villainous couple, Moll and L'ak, portrayed by actors Eve Harlow and Elias Toufexis, respectively. Paradise described them as having a 'Bonnie and Clyde dynamic,' aiming to bring a fresh perspective to the antagonists in the series. The characters are designed to be multi-dimensional, with their motivations and the depth of their relationship explored throughout the season. Despite being pitted against the heroes, viewers may find themselves unexpectedly drawn to these characters.
