Star Trek: Discovery Season 3 is coming soon to CBS All Access, 18 months after the last season aired.
A trailer was released for the new series in July, which sees Michael Burnham (played by Sonequa Martin-Green) plating the Federation flag on a new planet–the planet that the crew has ended up on after going through a wormhole in the previous season.
CBS All Access will air episodes of Star Trek: Discovery first, with Netflix expected to release them the following day internationally.
Season 3 of the series was previously teased in a trailer released in 2019, which saw Burnham and the rest of the crew flung 930 years into the future, into a world where Starfleet and the Federation may no longer exist.
When is Star Trek: Discovery Season 3 coming out?
The first episode of the new season will air on Thursday, October 15 on CBS All Access, with episodes airing weekly on the service. Season 3 will have 13 episodes, meaning episodes will air weekly until Thursday, January 7, 2021.
Though Netflix has not confirmed its release date for Star Trek: Discovery Season 3, it has previously aired episodes of the show the day after they air on CBS All Access. This means that the season is likely to debut on October 16, with episodes releasing at midnight PDT.
