"For 50 years, the 'Star Trek' series have been a global sensation, spanning generations and audiences of all ages. It's an honor to welcome Sir Patrick Stewart back for what is sure to be another world-class extension of the historic franchise," said Armando Nu�ez, President and Chief Executive Officer, CBS Global Distribution Group.

In the U.S., the series will be available exclusively on CBS All Access, CBS' direct-to-consumer digital subscription video on-demand and live streaming service, which is available on all major digital platforms including Amazon Prime Video Channels and Fire TV.
