"Added in to that, Star Trek is a huge international franchise. Our international distribution guy is going crazy; he can't wait to get out to the marketplace and sell that. Right away, we're more than halfway home on the cost of the show from international alone."

Does Fuller and his staff have to hit a homerun in the first season? Would a double work? Hiring such a great staff may rise expectations where the series can't possibly meet.

I would take a double or triple in the first season. However I don't think the excuse of "it takes a year for a Trek show to take off" holds any weight anymore, particularly with the quality of what is being done on t.v. these days.

The fact this is a CBS All Access exclusive thing makes me wonder if I'll ever see it in the UK.

Wow, it amazes me how many people can't read. This is from the original press release.

The next chapter of the Star Trek franchise will also be distributed concurrently for television and multiple platforms around the world by CBS Studios International.

I expect it'll probably get a DVD release, if nothing else. PlayStation Network's Powers came out on DVD just a couple of months after its season ended. On the other hand, the Netflix Marvel shows don't seem to have gotten DVD sets yet, so I suppose it isn't guaranteed. But then, the rights to those are with Disney, and Disney's often been miserly about home-video releases.

I think I remember reading that they did have international distribution worked out.

Hopefully there will. Thanks for the info guys

Erm....thanks for the totally necessary ''can't read'' remark. Could've just posted the link.

Sorry, it wasn't just you. It seems like every week there is someone claiming the show is CBSAA exclusive and therefore won't be available outside the US. It just gets frustrating to read the same false comment all the time, especially when the international distribution was announced at the start.

It's the political season. False comments are in, and the press does business every day of the year.

I will build a wall around false comments, and the fans will pay for it!

Apology accepted. Thanks for posting the link to it anyway

Apology accepted, Captain Needa.
