Netflix will offer new Star Trek series along with all old episodes
In January 2017, Star Trek fans outside the United States and Canada will also be able to enjoy the new Star Trek series, which will be released at that time: Netflix will release the series ‘within 24 hours’ of release in North America in all 188 countries where it is active , stream.
If that’s not enough, all episodes ever made from the series will also be found in the video streaming powerhouse’s library. Still, the series is made by CBS and viewers in the US and Canada will not be able to watch the new episodes via Netflix. Do you live in the US? Then you will have to make do with a CBS All Access subscription and in Canada viewers have to turn to Bell Media.
To get in a bit, Netflix puts all 727 previous episodes online. So those are Star Trek: The Original Series, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: Voyager and Star Trek: Enterprise. Netflix has not revealed when exactly which series will come out, except that they will all be available to stream “before the end of 2016” around the world where Netflix is available.
Production of the new series will begin in September. The last series ‘Enterprise’ ran from 2001 to May 2005. The longest time was between the Original Series and The Next Generation, namely 18 years if we do not include the Animated Series. From The Next Generation, the various series continued uninterrupted until the curtain fell for Enterprise in 2005.
The new series is being created by Alex Kurtzman and Bryan Fuller, among others. Fuller began his career writing for Deep Space Nine and Voyager. Kurtzman co-wrote and produced two Star Trek films, Star Trek and Star Trek Into Darkness.
Star Trek Beyond, the thirteenth Star Trek film, will be released in the United States on July 21.
