This Sunday is the final episode of Star Trek: Discovery to air in 2017, but it won’t be too long to wait for the return of the back half of Season 1, as CBS announced today the series will return on Sunday, January 7 to CBS All Access.

Along with the return schedule for 2018, the network also revealed the title and logline of Episode 110, “Despite Yourself,” which kicks off the last six episodes of the season.

CHAPTER TWO OF “STAR TREK: DISCOVERY”
BEGINS SUNDAY, JAN. 7

Chapter One Finale of “Star Trek: Discovery” Available to Stream Sunday, Nov. 12 after 8:30 PM, ET; All Episodes of Chapter One Available to Binge on CBS All Access

Nov. 9, 2017 – CBS All Access, the CBS Television Network’s digital subscription video on-demand and live streaming service, today announced season one of its hit original series STAR TREK: DISCOVERY will return with chapter two beginning on Sunday, Jan. 7, 2018 after 8:30 PM, ET.

The second chapter of STAR TREK: DISCOVERY begins with episode 10, “Despite Yourself”:

While in unfamiliar territory, the U.S.S. Discovery crew is forced to get creative in their next efforts to survive opposing and unprecedented forces and return home.

The first eight episodes of STAR TREK: DISCOVERY are currently available to stream on CBS All Access, and episode nine, the chapter one finale, will be available beginning Sunday, Nov. 12 after 8:30 PM, ET.

Following the chapter two debut, all new episodes will be available on demand weekly after 8:30 PM, ET on Sundays exclusively for CBS All Access subscribers in the U.S. The second chapter features the remaining six episodes of season one, with the season finale dropping on Sunday, Feb. 11, 2018.

STAR TREK: DISCOVERY follows the voyages of Starfleet on their missions to discover new worlds and new life forms, 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 and new characters, while embracing the same ideology and hope for the future that inspired a generation of dreamers and doers.

The release also details the end of Discovery for this first season, concluding on Sunday, February 11.

Actor Wilson Cruz also revealed in Twitter today that the January return episode is directed by TNG alum Jonathan Frakes.

It also sounds like this Sunday’s episode will conclude with the USS Discovery being in an unusual state as the description for 110 says the crew will be “forced to get creative in their next efforts to survive opposing and unprecedented forces and return home” — just where will the Discovery need to ‘return home’ from?

We’ll find out on Sunday!
