Status of the Series?

[Nathan]

I am really staying spoiler free of the series itself.

Has Season 1 finished up? If so, is it picked up for Season 2? When will Season 2 air?

I am thinking of just signing up for the CBS All access, binge watch the show in a week, and then cancel (so of course, I don't want to cancel, with the "dang, I just canceled and the new season / new episode airs next week?

Any word when the series will be dropped onto Netflix or Hulu?

Thanks for the response.
Nathan

2 more episodes to go for S1. There will be a S2, but it might be 2019.

 

[Ovation]

New season currently expected in 2019. No worries about a binge and cancel approach.

Unlikely to ever go to Netflix or Hulu in the US.

Is there a date for the Season One Finale then?

 

[Ovation]

A week from Sunday (only two episodes left—this Sunday, 4 February and next, 11 February).

Let's see...it airs on Sundays...two episodes to go...which means next sunday and the sunday after next sunday...sorry, too complicated, I can't figure that out

 

[Nathan]

thanks. I can do the math then! LOL
Seriously, much appreciated for the help.

Where are you? Lots of countries already have it on Netflix.

The following Sunday?

I'm in the US, I checked on Netlfix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime (have to pay extra if I want the CBS All Access.)
Looks like I will just have to wait 2 weeks then pay the few bucks for CBS All Access

You can get a free trial, so if you time it right, you won't have to pay at all. Not sure how long the current trial period is -- anyone know?

In the US? Probably never, at least as long as CBS All Acess is a thing.

 

[Nathan]

Yep, when it's a week out, subscribe for the week -- binge watch, then cancel.

This article is a very interesting, albeit unsurprising read, assuming most of it's reasonably accurate, and I see no reason why it isn't.

I suspect that within a few months, STD will be offered to just about any channel that'll take it. And as for season 2, I don't know who's going to fund it. I've heard rumours Netflix have passed.

The fact that they have not updated their copyright information since 2014 (takes like 10 seconds to do) would not seem to indicate that they are a quality joint.

They are declaring matter of fact that Discovery is the least watched Star Trek show ever, without any sort of access to hard date.

I'm not trusting that site.

From everything I've seen, season 2 is already paid for by Netflix.

 

[Tuskin38]

I'm not sure why people are saying Netflix funded Season 1. They paid for the licence to show. It's just the amount of money they made off that was enough for cover Season 1.

They probably made back the Season 1 cost through CBS all access subs and other sources as well.
