Season will now be split after first 9 episodes instead of 8
When the premiere date for Star Trek: Discovery was announced CBS revealed the fifteen episode season would be broken into two “chapters” with the first eight episodes airing between September and November and the final seven beginning in January of 2018. Today they announced the first chapter will be comprised of nine episodes with the final episode of chapter one debuting on Sunday, Nov. 12. The second chapter, featuring the remaining six episodes, will return in January 2018.

President of CBS Interactive Marc DeBevoise said in a statement:
Consumer response to the launch of Star Trek: Discovery has been tremendous. The build up to the show’s premiere led us to a record-setting month, week and ultimately day of sign-ups. The second week of the series has also exceeded our expectations and is a credit to the brilliant and dedicated work of the show’s entire creative team and cast. We can’t wait for fans to see what comes next for the U.S.S. Discovery and its crew.

Is there going to be a cliff-hanger at the end of episode 9?

Man do I wish they had plans to tack on a few episodes. Or do a special or something. But I'm heartened by the news! And the Orville is avoiding the cancellation bear for now, thankfully. Great time to be a Trek fan!

You don't see the trap?

If the sneaky tricky people who timed their subscriptions/payment/free trail, so that they would get everything they needed by handing over the least amount of money necessary, fail to course correct, they are going to be on the line for another 6 dollars.

who knows i mean episode 9 is supposed to be the end of the first "Chapter" of Season 1. so who knows if it will end on the cliffhanger. im hoping it kinda does and i hope it ends with a "To be Continued" title card at the end of it. get people hyped up for the second half.

Is there going to be a cliff-hanger at the end of episode 9?

Pretty much guaranteed, I'd assume. Most TV shows do that with mid-season breaks, and Discovery appears to be ending all of its episodes on cliffhangers as it is...

Well, they gave it to me for free.
