Praise the Great Bird of the Galaxy: just one day before Star Trek: Discovery returns to Netflix for global audiences to see its second season, the long-awaited “Short Treks” — available up until now only in North America — have finally landed on the streaming service.
Some fans had speculated that the mini-episodes would drop along with the upcoming new episodes — rather than come to Netflix over the four-month window they have been debuting in the United States and Canada — and today those theories have been proven correct. (While kicking off tonight, January 17, in the US and Canada, Season 2 arrives on Netflix January 18.)
Located under the “Trailers & More” header in the Star Trek: Discovery Netflix area, the four “Short Treks” which serve to set up the second season of the series are now live. Hopefully Netflix and CBS can arrange a more timely delivery schedule for the next round of “Short Treks” due later in 2019 — a pair of animated episodes set to arrive after Discovery Season 2 concludes.
Well, despite the scheduling setback, we’re glad to see that EVERY Star Trek: Discovery fan can now get caught up on everything they’ve missed — so after you binge the Discovery shorts, come back here to TrekCore and check out our reviews of “Runaway,” “Calypso,” “The Brightest Star,” and “The Escape Artist” and let us know your thoughts!
