CBS All Access has announced that the 13-episode third season of its hit original sci-fi adventure series Star Trek: Discovery will premiere on Thursday, October 15. New episodes will be available on demand each Thursday exclusively for U.S. subscribers of the streaming platform.
After we followed Commander Burnham into the wormhole in the second season finale, in Season 3, we’ll find the U.S.S. Discovery crew landing in an unknown future far from the home they once knew. Now living in a time filled with uncertainty, the crew, along with the help of some new friends, must work together to restore hope to the Federation.

Enterprise and featuring Anson Mount, Rebecca Romijn and Ethan Peck; and the development of a Section 31-based series with Michelle Yeoh. A CG-animated series aimed at younger audiences is also in the works for Nickelodeon, titled Star Trek: Prodigy.
