News Star Trek: Discovery Season Two Will Be Longer

[eschaton]

Filming wraps on the 21st according to Anton Mount.

Typo on my part. Fixed.

"The extra cost of one more episode will put the show over budget thus proving to investors that it's too expensive to keep on air."

There is no extra cost. It's all in the edit..........and who are you quoting in your post?


PS after looking again I am hoping that was a fictitious ME quote--lol

EVEN number of Shows ...
So just like the movies, this season will be spectacular!

The 4 'Short Treks' effectively make one full length 15th episode...

If they are splitting an episode in two, I hope it doesn't mean more unsatisfying 35-minute episodes

Do the four shorts count as a separate season or just part of DISCOVERY?

I am counting them as a separate spin-off: Star Trek: Short Treks - Season 1. It's a Trek anthology series, made of up different stories, characters, etc.
SHOT (SHOrt Treks) season 1 is made up from STD characters/universe
SHOT season 2 maybe will have Picard show characters, etc
SHOT season 3 maybe will have animated comedy Trek, etc, etc. etc..
