Star Trek: Discovery Renewed

CBS All Access has renewed its original series Star Trek: Discovery for a second season.

The launch of Star Trek: Discovery on CBS All Access broke a new record for subscriber sign-ups in a single day, week and month for the service. The first six episodes are currently available for streaming, and all-new episodes are available on demand weekly after 8:30 p.m. on Sundays exclusively for CBS All Access subscribers in the U.S.

As previously announced, Star Trek: Discovery will air in two chapters. The final episode of chapter one will debut on Sunday, November 12, and the second chapter, featuring the remaining six episodes, will return in January 2018.

“In just six episodes, Star Trek: Discovery has driven subscriber growth, critical acclaim and huge global fan interest for the first premium version of this great franchise,” said Marc DeBevoise, the president and COO of CBS Interactive. “This series has a remarkable creative team and cast who have demonstrated their ability to carry on the Star Trek legacy. We are extremely proud of what they’ve accomplished and are thrilled to be bringing fans a second season of this tremendous series.”
