Over the years there have been 5 different Star Trek shows for the small screen: the original series, “Star Trek: the Next Generation”, “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine”, “Star Trek: Voyager” and “Star Trek: Enterprise”. After “Star Trek: Enterprise” ended in 2005 there hasn’t been a new Star Trek TV show ever since. During the years that there has been no new Star Trek show, CBS/Paramount concentrated on the new JJ Abrams film series reboot. Now there’s finally gonna be a new TV show after all these years.

The new Star Trek show will premiere on Jan. in 2017 and will be exclusive for the new “CBS: All Access” standalone streaming service which will cost $5.99 a month.

Will the new TV show be based on the reboot film series? I don’t think so ’cause the article just said the new show will have all new characters so it won’t be a reboot of anything. There’s probably gonna be a new Captain and new everything. The plot and characters are unknown at this time ’cause the article doesn’t say but I’m sure we’ll learn more soon. I’m sure we’ll get a trailer very soon.

I won’t watch it on the new CBS streaming service but I’m sure the first season will land on Netflix streaming. All the Star Trek TV shows are available for Netflix streaming so I’m sure this new one will land on there as well.

I’m a big Star Trek fan, always has been. I saw all the TV shows and all the movies… except the only TV show I never saw was “Star Trek: Enterprise”. I won’t bother watching that one ’cause it didn’t get the best reviews.

I’m glad a new series is finally coming, though.
