A Closer Look at CBS’s Plans.
It’s been more than a decade since Star Trek left the air, and
at long last CBS has answered the cries of fans. In January 2017,
Star Trek will return to TV with an all-new series. But what form
will it take?
In this special episode of The Ready Room, we’re joined by Larry
Nemecek to take a closer look at the nuts and bolts of the CBS
announcement, debate the setting—Prime Universe or
Abramsverse—consider the format this Trek might take as a
made-for-streaming show, explore Alex Kurtzman’s Star Trek fandom,
consider how CBS will handle the creation of a series in the age of
social media, and, of course, touch on the controversial
distribution method.
