Sir Patrick Stewart is going to star in a new Star Trek TV show.

I wish him well!

 

[Umbran]

Yeah. I dunno if it is going to get enough viewers on CBS All Access to pay for someone of Stewart's stature.

 

[Dannyalcatraz]

That IS the key. But if the show has an “Angel”, CBS might be willing to run it at a loss for a season to see if the numbers trend in the right direction.

Of course, if they already have significant #s of people on their channel...

 

[Tonguez]

78 years old - I guess it wont be running for very long then ..

What CBS needs to realize of course is that nobody's interested on paying for more than three streaming services - tops.

They need to join up with one of the big three.

I pray that in Canada it will just be available to watch regularly on Space. In our house we have exact one streaming service and we cannot even watch that due to crappy rural Internet.

 

[Richards]

Yeah, I'd be interested in watching this on CBS, but not on CBS All Access. I refuse to pay a network additional money to watch the shows they're "holding hostage," as it were. Just my own personal line in the sand.

Awesome! I'll watch this on Netflix like I watch Discovery! Can't wait. Though I have to, as I expect it's a couple years away at the earliest.

They had me at Picard.

I tried All Access for Discovery but cancelled when the show didn’t pull me in. I am willing to try again for Jean-Luc.
