CBS Is Expanding Its Star Trek Franchise With New Shows and Miniseries

Studio signs 5-year deal with its co-creator

When Star Trek: Discovery debuted last fall on CBS All Access, it was the first new Star Trek TV series in 12 years. Now CBS Television Studios is making sure there will be a much shorter wait for the next one.

The studio has signed a new five-year deal with Star Trek: Discovery co-creator Alex Kurtzman and his Secret Hideout production company. As part of that agreement, Kurtzman will expand the Star Trek TV universe by developing new series, miniseries and other TV content, including animation.
