DISCOVERY Facebook Live Show Replacing ‘After Trek’

˙

˙

As we have suspected for some time — but was not able to confirm until today — the Star Trek: Discovery post-show “After Trek” is officially being discontinued for Season 2, and a new weekly live feed will move to a new home on Facebook Live.

Starting after next week’s second episode of Discovery Season 2, CBS will begin hosting “weekly Facebook Live chats with series stars, [producers,] and creative talent” at the show’s official Facebook page as a replacement for last year’s “After Trek” show, though we are still awaiting additional details which should be public in the next few days — including if the live show will be geolocked to US viewers, or if it will be globally accessible.

This isn’t the first time that Facebook Live has been used as a venue for Discovery discussion, of course; back in May, series creature designers Neville Page and Glenn Hetrick hosted a long live chat diving into their makeup and prosthetic creations used in the first season of the show, including a look at the never-seen early Saru design.

We’ve suspected this transition was happening for some time, especially after May’s livestream and the recent removal of “After Trek” from the CBS All Access streaming service. The studio, of course, did tell us back in the summer that the show would be “reimagined” for the next season of Discovery.

We’ll be sure to update you with all the details on when the new post-Discovery show will be going live each week, so be sure to check back often for updates here at TrekCore.

In the meantime, CBS will be live-streaming official coverage of tonight’s Season 2 premiere event in New York City via Facebook as well, over at their official page.
