"In Season 5 we again jump ahead quite a lot in time, as we did for Season 4, which I liked. It shows that the writers are only showing you the really exciting stuff that's happening in that world. The actual nuts and bolts of spreading the new healthy crop, feeding people...[We] skip ahead past that until we come up against our next big challenge," Regan told TVLine.
Based on the promo, Chandler (Eric Dane) and the Navy will be rattled when they face an unexpected attack. During an important event for the American community, one of the country's satellite will fail to work. Later on, Chandler will present a complete report to his boss, stating that what they have experienced is a cyber attack.
The source of the mayhem is soon revealed to be a Latino padrone with big dreams of taking over the world. This mobster is forming an army composed of loyal supporters willing to die for the cause.
Soon enough, the attacks will involve bombs going off in crowded places. Fighter jets will streak across the sky, bringing fear to the American community. The Latino leader is prepared to do anything to succeed, and it is up to Chandler and his squad to stop him.
"The Last Ship" season 5 is expected to air next year on TNT.
