The new streaming show is setting a course for CBS All Access in 2017.
CBS has debuted the first teaser trailer for its new 'Star Trek' series. A special premiere episode of the show will air on CBS in January 2017. Following that initial broadcast, all first run episodes of the show will be available exclusively through the CBS All Access streaming platform in the US.
'Star Trek,' one of the most iconic and influential global television franchises, returns to television 50 years after it first premiered. The new series will feature new crews, new villains, new heroes and new worlds, while embracing the same ideology and hope for the future that inspired a generation of dreamers and doers. Alex Kurtzman, Bryan Fuller, Heather Kadin, Gretchen Berg & Aaron Harberts, Rod Roddenberry and Trevor Roth will serve as executive producers. The series will be produced by CBS Television Studios in association with Kurtzman's Secret Hideout, Fuller' Living Dead Guy Productions and Roddenberry Entertainment.
Check out the teaser below!
CBS All Access offers next-day streaming for new episodes of many popular shows and a library of over 7,500 on-demand episodes, including content from current programs like 'Limitless' and 'Elementary,' and classic series like 'Star Trek' and 'Cheers.' Likewise, select customers can watch live local CBS broadcasts through the service in more than 110 markets. Live content and contemporary shows include commercials, but the classic programming is presented without ads. Unfortunately, some sporting events, including NFL games, are not a part of the service. CBS All Access currently costs $6 per month. The service is available through Amazon Fire TV, Amazon Fire TV Stick with Voice Remote, Roku devices, Apple TV, Chromecast, Xbox 360, and Windows 10, iOS and Android products.
