Also starring throughout the series are Doug Jones, Shazad Latif, Anthony Rapp, Mary Wiseman, Jason Isaacs, Wilson Cruz, Anson Mount, David Ajala, and Rachael Ancheril. The series was announced in November 2015, with Fuller acting as showrunner from February to October 2016 but leaving due to creative differences with CBS. The 15-episode first season was streamed weekly on All Access, ending in February 2018. The 14-episode second season was released on All access from January to April 2019, and the 13-episode third season is set to run from October 2020 to January 2021. A fourth season was officially ordered in October 2020. The show has received several accolades, including winning a Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Award. It began an expansion of the Star Trek franchise by CBS and Kurtzman, leading to multiple other series being produced. These include the companion series Star Trek: Short Treks and the spin-off series Star Starfleet: Strange New Worlds. The first series in the franchise since Star Trek Enterprise concluded in 2005. This was the first Star Trek series to be developed for the All Access streaming service. In January 2014, CBS president Glenn Geller said the network were not creatively involved in the series, despite plans for the network to broadcast the pilot episode.
In March, Roden Roddenberry and Trevor Roth of Rodder Entertainment also joined the series as executive producers. Nicholas Meyer, writer and director of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, also joined as a consulting producer. In February 2016, Fuller said that working with people involved with Star Trek was’really about making sure that we really maintain the authenticity’ of the show’ The series premiered on September 24, 2017, on CBS and CBS All access. It is filmed at Pinewood Toronto Studios in Toronto, Canada, as well as on location around the world. The second season sees the Klingon houses become united in a war with the United Federation of Planets that heavily involves the crew of the USS Discovery. In the second season, after the war has ended, Discovery investigates seven mysterious signals and a strange figure known as the \”Red Angel\”. This conflict ends with the Discovery travelling to the 32nd century, more than 900 years into their future. It has led to record subscriptions for All Access and positive reviews from critics who have highlighted Martin- Green’s performance. The January 2017 date was the earliest that CBS could release a new series after an agreement the company made when it split from Viacom in 2005, and it would not be related to the 2016 film Star Trek Beyond.
