It will air on CBS in the US and Canada, but the Bryan Fulled led Star Trek TV show that hits in 2017 will be rolled out internationally by Netflix.
Deadline reports that the streaming service will debut Star Trek to 188 countries, excluding the U.S. and Canada, 24 hours after its domestic airing. Netflix will also be the home of the 700+ episodes of the existing Star Trek TV library.
“The launch of the new Star Trek will truly be a global television event,” said Armando Nuñez, President and CEO, CBS Studios International. “STAR TREK is a worldwide phenomenon and this international partnership will provide fans around the world, who have been craving a new series for more than a decade, the opportunity to see every episode virtually at the same time as viewers in the U.S. Thanks to our world-class partners at Netflix, the new STAR TREK will definitely be ‘hailing on all frequencies’ throughout the planet.”
“Star Trek is one of the most iconic shows in television history and we’re thrilled to partner with CBS to bring the beloved series to Trekkies around the world,” said Sean Carey, Vice President of Global Television at Netflix. “The newest chapter of the story promises to continue the rich tradition of adventure and is sure to excite fans everywhere Netflix is available.”
Shooting starts on the new show in Tornoto in December in September for a 2017 debut.
