CBS’s new online streaming platform CBS All Access’ future mainly hinges on the success (or failure) of Star Trek: Discovery.
Star Trek: Discovery premieres Sunday, September 24 on CBS.
The CBS subscription on-demand video service was introduced in 2014 and housed old-school classic series like Cheers and I Love Lucy, but was alway planned to become something bigger via the introduction of original content.
Its first piece of original content was meant to be Star Trek: Discovery, but that wound up being The Good Wife spin-off, The Good Fight instead (due to Discovery‘s multiple production delays).
