Star Trek: Discovery launches on Monday September 25th, exclusively on Netflix everywhere excluding the US and Canada.
Brand new episodes will then be available each week on a Monday. The 15-episode season is sreleased in two chapters, the first 8 running up until November 6th, with the season resuming in January 2018.
Star Trek is one of the most iconic and influential global television franchises, and returns 50 years after it first premiered with this new series.
On Saturday, at Comic-Con International, fans from around the world were given a sneak peek at the new series trailer for the show during a panel with cast and creatives from the series. It was moderated by series guest star Rainn Wilson (Harry Mudd), featured a conversation with cast members including Sonequa Martin-Green (First Officer Michael Burnham), Jason Isaacs (Captain Gabriel Lorca), Doug Jones (Lt. Saru), Shazad Latif (Lt. Ash Tyler), Mary Wiseman (Cadet Sylvia Tilly), Anthony Rapp (Lt. Paul Stamets) and James Frain (Ambassador Sarek). They were joined by executive producers Alex Kurtzman, Gretchen J Berg, Aaron Harberts, Heather Kadin and Akiva Goldsman.
The programme 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. The series will feature a new ship, new characters and new missions, while embracing the same ideology and hope for the future that inspired a generation of dreamers and doers.

Star Trek: Discovery begins on September 25th on Netflix and I’m really looking forward to this. In the meantime, I highly recommend Netflix’s new series, Ozark.
