Some more news on the new Star Trek series.

CBS Studios International has announced that the new Star Trek television series will be broadcast exclusively in 188 countries by Netflix (excluding the United States and Canada), and in Canada by Bell Media.
In a landmark international licensing agreement, each episode of the highly anticipated new Star Trek series will be available to Netflix members exclusively in the 188 countries (excluding the United States and Canada) within 24 hours of the United States premiere. Further, all 727 existing episodes within the Star Trek television library – spanning from The Original Series, The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine to Voyager and Enterprise – will be available on Netflix around the globe by the end of 2016.

The Bell Media rollout for the new Star Trek series in Canada will mirror the launch in the United States. The first episode will premiere on Canada’s most-watched broadcast network, CTV, on the same night as CBS. All remaining episodes will initially be televised on Bell Media’s cable networks, Space (in English) and Z (in French), and then later exclusively on CraveTV, Bell Media’s streaming video-on-demand service. The Star Trek television library will return to Space (in English) and debut on Cinépop (in French), and will also be found among CraveTV’s leading lineup of premium television series.

As previously announced, the all-new Star Trek series will commence production in Toronto in September ahead of a January 2017 premiere. Co-created and executive produced by Bryan Fuller and Alex Kurtzman, the show will feature a new ship, new characters and new missions, while embracing the same ideology and hope for the future seen in Gene Roddenberry's original creation, which spawned the Star Trek spinoff series and feature films, and also inspired generations of viewers and fans.

The new Star Trek series, in the United States, will launch with a special premiere episode on the CBS Television Network in January 2017. The premiere episode and all subsequent episodes will be available in the United States exclusively on CBS All Access, the Network’s digital subscription video on demand and live streaming service. The new Star Trek marks the first original series developed for distribution on CBS All Access, which provides viewers thousands of episodes of CBS’s current and past seasons on demand, plus the ability to stream their local CBS Television station live for $5.99 per month.

Cool, I guess? I've tried getting into Star Trek 3 times before and it never took. Once I started from the beginning, once at DS9 and once at Voyager, none of them tickled my fancy enough to stick.

Try Enterprise. I loved that show so much. But it was cancelled after 4 seasons.
 
I couldnt stomach Enterprise. I am a trekky trough and through, I have watched the original, TNG, Voyager and even DS9 broken. Even the original movies were great, but Enterprise....eish, I donnu, it just didnt gel with me. I remember this one particular episode, the aliens...they looked so fake and melodramatic. In saying that, I didnt even think twice in the other series, they were so convincingly done. But thats just one thing...

Anyone else ever thought B'Elanna Torres from Voyager was kinda got? :o

Also wish they would release a good proper FPS Star Trek game like Voyager Elite Force years ago.

Sorry, bit off topic here, but anyway, here's a short video of the game, ignoring the character models (game was released in 2000), its looks not too shabby..


Klingon Honor Guard anyone? Oh damnit, I am going down memory lane...stop it! I remember when the game was released, required 128Mb system memory for optimal performance....INSANE!!! How we take memory for granted these days.

Awesome! :D 4th movie being planned! But damn, its gonna we weird with no Anton (Chekov)...even the new movie is going to be weird and sad. The whole crew selection is perfect.

It's official. Paramount Pictures, in conjunction with Skydance and Bad Robot, have greenlit a fourth Star Trek featuring the current crew of the starship Enterprise. According to a press release issued today by Paramount, "In the next installment of the epic space adventure, Chris Pine’s Captain Kirk will cross paths with a man he never had a chance to meet, but whose legacy has haunted him since the day he was born: his father." And, yes, Chris Hemsworth is on board to reprise the role of George Kirk, whom he first portrayed in Star Trek (2009).

In addition to Pine, the rest of the cast is expected to return. Though the release does not touch on it, producer J.J. Abrams has publicly stated that the role of Chekov, essayed by Anton Yelchin in Star Trek (2009), Star Trek Into Darkness and July 22's Star Trek Beyond, will not be recast.

J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay will write the screenplay. Abrams and Lindsey Weber will produce through Bad Robot Productions, while David Ellison and Dana Goldberg of Skydance will executive produce.

Made me lose all hope for the future of humanity :(

I also went through and still do from time to time, the whole lot, TOS and TAS don't get my attention all that much anymore, just too dated.

Hope the new series is up to standard :D
