    No one's posted about this here yet. New updates about the third season, courtesy of TrekMovie.com.

    First some more information about the state of the Federation:

    The second main item is that TrekMovie.com speculates that the timing the release of DSC S3 might be tied to CBS All Access' revamp:

    Since the new version of CBS All Access launches this summer, and the soundtrack for the third season is being recorded remotely right now, even as we speak, I think we'll be getting the third season before September.

    It's just more of the same ol same ol...........change of tone, yadda yadda yadda. I hope they let us know something. Do we know the date of the CBSAA revamp/relaunch?

    No. But at least we have a likely window now. That's better than before.

    What do we know about the revamp? Is it just bundling CBSAA under a larger Viacom service in addition to being it's own thing?

    it’s weird that every season they basically apologize for what they gave us previously.

    That's a good question. I did some looking around and it seems like this site knows what it's talking about. It's called Next TV. It focuses on the business end of streaming.

    I'm not good at speaking Businessese, so I'm going to try to find something that's quotable in English.

    EDIT: I've got something. Here's what they say:

    So there you have it. By adding content from so many other channels, they'll be able to greatly expand subscriptions. That's the part that's easy to understand. Everything else they had in there is Greek to me.

    DOUBLE-EDIT: I tried to do a cheat by trying to look up when The Godfather will be available on CBS All Access. If you can't find out something one way, you can always try to find out another way. But still nothing. I can't find anything that gets more specific than it's happening in the summer.

    If it was going to be June, even late-June, we'd have some hard dates by now. And anything in September will be perceived as the fall. So it's down to July or August.

    I can speak engineering business, entertainment is a whole different ballgame. It will be interesting to see how they position themselves internationally given that Trek is a major draw and is already sold to other platforms. Do they continue to shop shows around to Netflix and Amazon, or do they keep them for themselves? I would be pretty miffed if I needed to get Prime, Netflix and CBSAA+ or whatever it is to watch Trek in Europe while those in the USA had one platform.

    I really cannot express in words how much I don't want them to delay Disco S3 to summer 2021.

    They're still advertising it as 'coming soon'.

    Either I missed something or you read through everything too fast. We're talking about 2020.

    If it turned out to be summer 2021, then yeah. I'd be with you all the way.

    Nickelodeon shows being added to CBS AA is good news for Trek fans who don’t have access to that channel. They will be able to see Prodigy without having to add a cable service.
