The first season of Star Trek: Discovery wasn’t the only franchise production for CBS All Access last year, as the Matt Mira-hosted After Trek companion talk show featuring both on-camera and behind-the-scenes guests from the series followed each episode of the season.
We even had the chance to visit the set and be part of the live audience for one of the Sunday night broadcasts — if you missed it, check out our photo gallery from the New York City-based studio!
While Season 2 of Discovery is well underway in Toronto, the future of After Trek seemed not so clear today, as rumors began to swirl on social media about a possible “cancellation” of the companion series.
I like to think of it as being placed into dry dock. https://t.co/a62d4YmDBW

Despite those rumors, however, TrekCore was able to confirm today that After Trek is not ending, but is in fact coming back with Season 2 in a new format (hence Mira’s “dry dock” comment, indicating a refurbishment or upgrade).
A representative from CBS All Access told us today that the studio is “re-imagining” the show for Discovery’s second season — but that the new After Trek will “continue to have all the fan-driven elements that Star Trek: Discovery viewers enjoyed this season — and more.”
While the studio did not have any additional specifics available about what After Trek will look like when the show returns with Discovery Season 2, they did tell TrekCore that more details will arrive as we get closer to the return of Discovery.
