After Trek not canceled; Star Trek: Discovery aftershow will come back
According to a report from TrekCore, the aftershow is not going to be ending, and will be “reimagined” in some form for the upcoming season. A representative for CBS All Access claims that the series will “continue to have all the fan-driven elements that Star Trek: Discovery viewers enjoyed this season — and more.”
Ultimately, new episodes of Star Trek: Discovery are going to start airing starting in 2019, so you’ve got a little while to wait and see precisely what the new iteration of this series looks like. We hope that Matt Mira is still involved (he’s been a personal favorite from the early days of the Nerdist Podcast), and beyond that, we hope that it’s still a celebration of all things Star Trek in the way in which it’s been to date. It’s had a lot of fun quirks but like with any experiment, there are a few things that do need to be worked out and retooled here and there. This is different than your standard aftershow given that it’s on a streaming service and things have to be timed and planned out a slightly different way.
Given the sort of content that is coming for season 2 of Discovery — including some significant ties between this show and the original series — it definitely seems like there’s a lot to look forward to. Season 1 absolutely showed that it can do some of the original material justice and we don’t have too much to worry about from that vantage point.
