It’s official: Star Trek: Discovery will be coming back for a second season.
CBS has just released the following statement confirming it:
“CBS ALL ACCESS RENEWS “STAR TREK: DISCOVERY” FOR SECOND SEASON
NEW YORK – Oct. 23, 2017 – CBS All Access, the CBS Television Network’s digital subscription video on-demand and live streaming service, announced today the second season renewal of its hit original series STAR TREK: DISCOVERY.
“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, President and Chief Operating Officer, CBS Interactive. “This series has a remarkable creative team and cast who have demonstrated their ability to carry on the ‘Star Trek’ legacy.

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…”
Okay, it’s fair to say that many of us were fairly unsure about Discovery in the beginning. For example, it looked like the designers had mixed up the Klingons with the Drazi from Babylon 5.

Here’s hoping they keep thinking so.
Star Trek: Discovery is available on CBS All Access and Netflix outside the US.

The death ray is currently in the works and one day you shall all bow to him, his giant space station and fleet of funky orange space shuttles...
