Star Trek: Discovery Season 2: Release Date, How To Watch And Cast

The spin-off of the Star Trek franchise is back on Television. It’s a prequel to the original Star Trek series and is called as Star Trek: Discovery. Star Trek Discovery takes us to a timeline of 10 years before Star Trek actually started. We get to know about the lives of our favorite characters such as in the first Season itself we saw half-sibling of Spock (although not many appreciated trying to alter the history of Star Trek).

In my opinion, the show is named Discovery for a particular reason; it will continue to discover the things that are unknown to us. We also heard some new jargon in Klingon, saw the first gay kiss, a brand new mode of transportation etc. But more than anything, Star Trek: Discovery Season 1 made us realise the immense potential of the show, how many stories could really be told by the show makers through this particular series.

Now that we have discussed how massive Trek Universe (Prime, Kelvin, etc.) can be, let’s talk about what Season 2 has in store for fans. Episode 1 to Season 2 of Star Trek Discovery is called “Runaway,” and it will talk of Ensign Sylvia Tilly played by the very talented Mary Wiseman. Star Trek: Discovery premieres on CBS.

Star Trek: Discovery Release Date

The release date is no surprise thanks to the Comic-Con weekend that’s coming up. CBS ahead of Comic-Con hyped the Season 2 of Star Trek: Discovery. The Network beforehand mentioned the release date of Star Trek. CBS also released a sort of poster for Season 2 of Star Trek: Discovery on Twitter. If you are around town, you may catch the Starfleet at Comic-Con. Rebecca Romijn will be moderating the event. And as goes for the release date, Star Trek: Discovery will be back on TV in January of 2019. CBS hadn’t mentioned a specific release date for now, but I am expecting some major revelations at Comic-Con this weekend.

Star Trek: Discovery will release on DVD/Blu-ray this November. You may catch the all-new Season on CBS if you are a viewer from the US, an episode per week. CraveTV and Netflix will release Season 2 too in a similar format. Season 1 is streaming on CBS All Access for US viewers, CraveTV in Canada and on Netflix in other countries, as of now.
