‘Star Trek: Discovery’ Moves To Paramount+ Globally (Which Hasn’t Launched In The UK Yet…)
Some slightly frustrating news… ‘Star Trek: Discovery‘, which aired its first 3 seasons on Netflix internationally the day after the USA, will be moving to Paramount+ globally… The only issue with that is that Paramount+ is not launching in the UK until 2022, meaning we have to wait for Season 4.
“As we rapidly expand our global streaming footprint, we are bringing more of our top titles home to ViacomCBS for Paramount+ markets around the world,” President, International Streaming Services, ViacomCBS, Kelly Day, told Deadline. “We have a strong global and local content pipeline that positions us for success across our regions, and repatriating beloved series like Star Trek: Discovery for Paramount+ is another step forward as we bring fans more must-watch series worldwide.”
Back in August it was announced that Paramount+ would be launching in the UK, both as a standalone app, and in partnership with Sky, where Sky Cinema customers will get it for free as part of their package. The service is due to launch in “Early 2022”, but we don’t have an exact date yet.
Whilst ‘Star Trek: Discovery’ will be going “home” to Paramount+, ‘Star Trek: Picard’ and ‘Star Trek: Lower Decks’ are both staying on Amazon, at least, for now… That may change in future as ViacomCBS seeks to claw back more of its content for its own service. Other shows which could potentially be affected moving forward would be ‘The Good Fight’, which currently airs on More4 in the UK, and ‘Why Women Kill’, which currently airs on Alibi. There is also ‘Evil’, which airs on Alibi, and ‘SEAL Team’, which airs on Sky, both of which were originally CBS shows, but were moved onto Paramount+ in the USA for their most recent seasons.
‘Star Trek: Discovery’ Season 4 finds newly appointed Captain Burnham and the crew of the U.S.S. Discovery facing a threat unlike any they’ve ever encountered. With Federation and non-Federation worlds alike feeling the impact, they must confront the unknown and work together to ensure a hopeful future for all.
As of right now, we don’t know when Paramount+ will launch in the UK, but when it does, ‘Star Trek: Discovery‘ Season 4 will be on it. If you want to keep track of this or any other show, you can add it via our Never Miss system, and you’ll be notified when it gets a UK premiere date.
