The return of the franchise will premiere in the U.S. on CBS All Access this fall, following a broadcast premiere on the CBS Television Network.

The series will feature 15 episodes, up from the previously announced 13, and include a companion after-show, “Talking Trek,” presented on CBS All Access.

“Star Trek: Discovery” will follow the voyages of Starfleet on their missions to discover new worlds and new lifeforms, and one Starfleet officer who must learn that to truly understand all things alien, you must first understand yourself.
