Netflix, Paramount+, Sky Showtime, Pluto TV – the broadcast legacy of Discovery is complicated!
Ahead of Star Trek: Discovery’s fifth and final season, it’s been confirmed that the show now has an additional new home at Sky Showtime.
Discovery’s tenure has been complicated one, tied to the rocky corporate world of streaming services.
It was first created as a Netflix show, before being withdrawn from the service days before Season 4 was due to land. Since then, the show has appeared exclusively on Paramount+. Well, except for when Season 4 aired on the linear Pluto TV – appeasing worldwide fans who’d suddenly lost access.
Sky Showtime
Seasons 1 – 3 of the show landed on Sky Showtime on March 8th . Now, Season 4 joins the service this week, on March 22nd.
Sky Showtime also has access to much of the Star Trek back catalogue, including all of The Original Series, The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager, Enterprise and Strange New Worlds.
The service also has all three Kevlin timeline movies as well as Star Trek: Nemesis.
Discovery Season 5
In addition, Season 5 of the show will be available to Sky Showtime viewers from Friday, April 5th.
The Discovery’s long-awaited final mission sees Captain Burnham and her crew caught up in a race across the galaxy:
This season finds Captain Burnham and the crew of the U.S.S. Discovery uncovering a mystery that will send them on an epic adventure across the galaxy to find an ancient power whose very existence has been deliberately hidden for centuries. But there are others on the hunt as well… dangerous foes who are desperate to claim the prize for themselves and will stop at nothing to get it.
The series premieres on Paramount+ with a double episode drop on April 4th, 2024. Paramount+ is available in the US, the UK, Canada, Switzerland, South Korea, Latin America, Germany, France, Italy, Australia and Austria. Weekly instalments then round out the 10-part run.
Discovery will appear a day later on Sky Showtime.
