Like many fans around the world, Trekkies in the UK and Ireland have been waiting for their chance to catch up on Star Trek: Strange New Worlds as Paramount+ slowly makes its way out to international territories this year — and while the streaming service is set to debut June 22 in the United Kingdom, the wait on that Strange New Worlds catch-up will take just a bit longer.

Announced officially by the UK arm of Paramount+ today, only the first three episodes of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds will be available on the streamer on that region’s June 22 launch date, as the show will continue on a weekly Wednesday release schedule through the conclusion of SNW’s ten-episode Season 1 run.

June 22 will bring “Strange New Worlds,” “Children of the Comet,” and “Ghosts of Illyria” to UK viewers, with future episodes following five weeks after their US, Canada, and Australian release dates — the Strange New Worlds Season 1 finale will debut July 7 in the United States; the staggered schedule looks to bring that finale episode to the UK on Wednesday, August 10.

We have confirmed directly with Paramount+ UK that all four seasons of Star Trek: Discovery and the first ten episodes of Star Trek: Prodigy will all be available in the UK at launch on June 22. TrekCore is currently working to find out if the recently-remastered Star Trek: The Motion Picture — Director’s Edition will be part of the service’s initial UK offerings.

(Star Trek: Picard and Star Trek: Lower Decks are currently available as Prime Video exclusives in the UK and Ireland.)

Paramount+ will be available in the UK via the Paramount+ on June 22; users will be able to sign up for the service for £6.99/month (or £69.90/year) following a free seven-day trial. Pricing for Ireland has not yet been announced. In addition to the app, Paramount+ will launch on Sky platforms in the UK, with Sky Cinema subscribers getting access to the streaming service at no additional cost.

Strange New Worlds is not the only Paramount+ original series to be impacted by this type of delayed release in the UK; the recently-concluded season of HALO will also debut with three episodes at launch (and a weekly rollout following), as will the Paramount+ adaptation of The Man Who Fell to Earth — likely to keep viewers from using the 7-day trial period offered to watch all that new content in the first free week.

Hopefully this is just part of the initial launch strategy for Paramount+ in the UK; it seems likely that future seasons of Discovery, Strange New Worlds, and Prodigy will be released simultaneously with the US release schedules once the regional debut is behind… but only time will tell.
