‘Star Trek Discovery’ explores new frontiers on September 24th

After four months of production following a worrisome delay , CBS is finally comfortable enough with its long-awaited new Star Trek series to set a release date: September 24th, 2017. That’s right on schedule . The new series will star Michelle Yeoh as Captain Philippa Georgiou with The Walking Dead’s Sonequa Martin-Green as her First Officer, Michael Burnham. The 15-episode season will launch Sunday the 24th at 8:30PM ET on CBS and run through November 5th. The second half of the season (episodes 8-15) is slated to start next January. The show is an exclusive to CBS All Access, the company’s streaming subscription service, although the first episode will also air on CBS proper. This means that the CBS All Access app will be the exclusive place for Star Trek fans to check out this latest chapter. It’s an intentionally limiting move that seems to be made to boost interest in the CBS All Access service, but we’re hoping it comes to regular TV eventually so more viewers can tune in.

The deadlock is over at last now that CBS and Hulu have struck a deal. The agreement isn’t quite what we’d hope for, focusing almost exclusively on back catalog titles like Medium and Star Trek , although celebrity gossip junkies will like knowing that Entertaintment Tonight segments will be viewable the day they air on regular TV. We’ll have to wait until January 2013 for the selection to be ready — not to mention shell out for Hulu Plus to get full access — but there’s at least an end in sight to one of the longer content droughts in streaming video.
