New Trek In The UK

[DeepSpaceYorks]

Didn't see this anywhere immediately obvious so thought I'd ask.

CBS All Access does not exist in the UK as far as I am aware. How are they planning on screening this show overseas if the online channel doesn't exist? I'm probably not going to buy a sub for just one show.

 

[jamestyler]

The same as everywhere else most likely. Sky Atlantic.

 

[DeepSpaceYorks]

If it is Sky then Murdoch won't be getting my money either, bleurgh.
Oh well, s'pose I'll be waiting for a box set.

 

[Shalashaska]

Could be Sky, could be Netflix, nothing's for sure.

 

[SpaceLama]

I'm hoping Netflix.

I really really don't want it to be on Amazon Prime

 

[Danlav05]

CBS Action would be good, it's on Sky, Freeview, Freesat, Virgin AND TalkTalk - many platforms

Sky Atlantic or Netflix seem the most likely

 

[John Clark]

I reckon it'll be one of the Sky Channels and wouldn't bet against Atlantic. One of the freeview channels would be nice, but I think it's unlikely

 

[DeepSpaceYorks]

I'm actually wondering if 5 might not be an outside bet for Star Trek. They got the latest X Files.

 

[Jonny]

My guess is Sky. Hopefully it'll be Sky One or maybe Sky Living. If it's on Sky Atlantic or Netflix than I'll have to wait for the DVD to come out or for it to be shown on another channel at a later date.

Can't rule it out to be fair.

I wouldn't bet on it. I don't think freeview channels would allow for much flexibility in run-time as CBS All-Access, Sky Atlantic and Netflix do.

Well, every Star Trek series, including TAS, got added to UK Netflix yesterday. A sign or portent?

Really? Coolio! Not seen TNG in ages

I did not know this, thank you!

When Star Trek 2017 was first announced, a week later didn't they say there were already interest from potential international buyers?

When Star Trek 2017 was announced, they said it would be distributed internationally in the same press release that announced the show. International distribution has been the plan from day 1.

But.. it will probably be on Sky or a subscription channel initially, not Freeview. CBS Action is entirely 15+ year old series, for instance.

That is quite big news!

 

[roseake]

If there is a credible way of watching the show then I'll take it (within reason) but I'm definitely open to.... less-credible sources if that's not possible. I want to be up to date dammit! I would really like to be able to add to the official ratings though.

 

[Paul Weaver]

If it's on sky then there's a fairly credible way - just subscribe to sky

It won't be like the dark days of the 90s, huddled over the lights of a 56k modem trying to download the latest episode from a dcc on irc because there was no way, short of flying to America, to get the episodes when broadcast.
