In the United States, Star Trek: Discovery always belonged to CBS All-Access, the platform later renamed Paramount. But, for practical purposes, in Spain this series was from Netflix: it was the one who had the exclusive rights. On November 17, 2021, however, the first three seasons were removed from the platform without a trace, just when the fourth season premiered in the US the next day. And, after disappearing from the galaxy of streaming platforms Without a trace, the USS Discovery ship will finally be available again on demand.
The platform will be SkyShowtime, as expected, since it is the joint effort of Paramount Global and NBCUniversal to penetrate the streaming industry in the Iberian Peninsula. The landing plan is as follows: on March 8 they will introduce the three initial seasons to the catalog, the fourth can be seen starting on the 22nd of the same month and, finally, the fifth season of Star Trek: Discovery will premiere on the service on 5th of April.
The fifth season, which will be the finale, follows Captain Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) and the crew of the U.S.S. Discovery as they try to solve a mystery that will send them on an epic adventure across the galaxy to find an ancient power whose existence has been deliberately hidden for centuries. But there are others on the hunt too: dangerous enemies who are desperate to claim the prize for themselves and will stop at nothing to get it.
Regarding the fourth, which has not yet been seen on any platform, it is not a new season in Spain: it could be seen on Pluto TV, the streaming television channels, where the most Trekkies had the opportunity to watch legal form the 13 episodes. Of course, watching it on Pluto TV meant having to keep an eye on its programming, in an unusual maneuver for the service, unaccustomed to so-called appointment viewing (that is, requiring the viewer to connect at an exact time).
With the addition of Star Trek: Discovery to SkyShowtime, the platform expands its offering of the science fiction universe created by Gene Roddenberry in the 60s. On the television level, they have the three seasons of the original Star Trek, the seven seasons of Deep Space Nine, the four of Enterprise, the only season of the animated Prodigy, seven of Voyager, another seven of The Next Generation and finally Strange New Worlds, still in production and with two seasons broadcast so far.
It is unknown if Picard, which ended after airing three seasons, and the animated comedy Lower Decks, both broadcast on Prime Video, will be available at some point on the platform that is becoming a sanctuary for Trekkies.
