STAR TREK: DISCOVERY Season 3 Finally Lands October 15

˙

˙

Believe it or not, it’s been nine months since our first look at Star Trek: Discovery’s third season beamed down — all the way back to October 2019 when the cast assembled at New York Comic Con to tease the next chapter in the time-traveling crew’s adventures.

As has been widely reported, while filming of Discovery’s third season wrapped in Toronto back in February, the months of required post-production work slated to complete those filmed episodes have been significantly delayed by COVID-19 mitigation efforts — as those in the visual effects, sound design, editing, and music departments have all needed to find a way to finish their work from remote locations.

Since that time, the only glimpse of Season 3 we’ve gotten is a brief 15-second tease following the conclusion of the Star Trek: Picard season finale in mid-March, which feels like a lifetime ago thanks to pandemic life!

While the news didn’t arrive by way of last week’s San Diego Comic Con @ Home Star Trek Universe panel — for reasons we don’t know — we can finally share the news that the series will return from it’s long-lasting hiatus with a thirteen-episode season starting Thursday, October 15, the week after the Star Trek: Lower Decks first season finale.

JUMP INTO THE FUTURE WHEN SEASON THREE
OF “STAR TREK: DISCOVERY” PREMIERES
THURSDAY, OCT. 15 ON CBS ALL ACCESS

July 27, 2020 – CBS All Access, ViacomCBS’ subscription video on-demand and live streaming service, today announced that the third season of its hit original series STAR TREK: DISCOVERY will premiere on Thursday, Oct. 15. New episodes of STAR TREK: DISCOVERY’s 13-episode third season will be available on demand weekly on Thursdays exclusively for CBS All Access subscribers in the United States.

After following Commander Burnham into the wormhole in the second season finale, season three of STAR TREK: DISCOVERY finds the U.S.S. Discovery crew landing into an unknown future far from the home they once knew. Now living in a time filled with uncertainty, the U.S.S. Discovery crew, along with the help of some new friends, must work together to restore hope to the Federation.

STAR TREK: DISCOVERY season three cast members include Sonequa Martin-Green (Commander Michael Burnham), Doug Jones (Commander Saru), Anthony Rapp (Lt. Commander Paul Stamets), Mary Wiseman (Ensign Sylvia Tilly), Wilson Cruz (Dr. Hugh Culber), David Ajala (Cleveland “Book” Booker) and Michelle Yeoh (Philippa Georgiou).

Seasons one and two of STAR TREK: DISCOVERY are available to stream now on CBS All Access, and the series is distributed concurrently by ViacomCBS Global Distribution Group on Netflix in 188 countries and in Canada on Bell Media’s CTV Sci-Fi Channel and OTT service Crave. The series is produced by CBS Television Studios in association with Secret Hideout and Roddenberry Entertainment.

In addition to STAR TREK: DISCOVERY, the “Star Trek” franchise on CBS All Access currently includes hit original series STAR TREK: PICARD; upcoming new animated comedy series STAR TREK: LOWER DECKS, which premieres on Thursday, August 6; the recently announced U.S.S. Enterprise set series STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS, featuring Anson Mount, Rebecca Romijn and Ethan Peck; and the development of a Section 31-based series with Michelle Yeoh. A CG-animated series aimed at younger audiences is also in the works for Nickelodeon, titled STAR TREK: PRODIGY.

In addition to the ten weeks of Star Trek: Picard episodes that ran from January through March, the combined run of Lower Decks Season 1 and Discovery Season 3 will add another 23 straight weeks of new franchise content for fans to take in — as we’ve confirmed with CBS that the season is expected to run uninterrupted through the January 7 season finale.

As with previous seasons, Discovery will air on CBS All Access in the United States, on CTV Sci Fi and Crave in Canada, and on Netflix for all other global regions. No international distribution plan for Lower Decks has been announced as of this writing.
