Jonathan Frakes Is In Star Trek: Discovery Even If You Don’t See Riker
No, Will Riker won't appear in Star Trek: Discovery season 5, but Jonathan Frakes has been behind the camera as a director since Discovery season 1.
Jonathan Frakes still plays a significant part in Star Trek: Discovery even though Captain William Riker does not make an appearance in Discovery season 5. Frakes first joined the Star Trek family as Commander Riker in 1987 when Star Trek: The Next Generation premiered. As the First Officer on the USS Enterprise-D under the command of Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart), Riker went on to become, in Picard's words: "the finest officer with whom I have ever served." Despite numerous offers of promotion to his own command, Riker chose to serve as Picard's First Officer for fifteen years.
