This fifth season of Captain Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) and her crew's adventures wasn't actually planned as the final run, but after the show was cancelled, showrunner Michelle Paradise has assured fans that the story wouldn't have been changed should they have known ahead of time.

She told ComicBook.com: "There's nothing we've talked about that we would have done differently if we had known that it was the last season.

"And certainly, in terms of the questions it raises, the journeys that our heroes are on in terms of searching for meaning and finding out more about themselves and growth, all of that naturally comes up when you're talking about life itself, if you will."

She added: "I think we probably would have gone that same direction."
