Star Trek: Discovery is a Star Trek television series, launched by CBS via subscription in 2017. Initial seasons were available on CBS All Access until later seasons saw CBS All Access rebranded as Paramount+.

Overview

Star Trek: Discovery follows the voyages of Starfleet on their missions to discover new worlds and new lifeforms, and one Starfleet officer who must learn that to truly understand all things alien, you must first understand yourself.

Summary

The announcement of the series in press release announced only the initial format and did not describe any setting or subtitle for the show, which would be the first televised Star Trek series to be released in over a decade. Subsequent press for the show had named VOY and DS9 writer-producer Bryan Fuller as the showrunner, Rod Roddenberry as a producer and director-writer Nicholas Meyer as a member of the writing staff.

The first trailer for the series was released in May 2016, with a new logo font for the Star Trek title and the tagline "New Crews. New Villains. New Heroes. New Worlds.".

In July 2016, a new trailer for the series debuted for Comic-Con, showing the new USS Discovery (NCC-1031) and the title of the show, with showrunner Fuller teasing that the show would take place in an unspecified era of the original Star Trek timeline.

In January 2017, StarTrek.com confirmed that Ambassador Sarek would appear.

CBS later stated that Discovery was looking at a "sometime late summer, early fall" release date, before the show's premiere in September 2017. [1]

After the successful completion of the first season in 2018, plans went underway for a second season, slated to premiere in early 2019. In the interim, Discovery's first spin-off was announced, a series of episodic vignettes entitled Short Treks.

Episodes

Star Trek: Discovery season 1 premiered on CBS and CBS All Access on 24 September, 2017.
