Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ First Two Episodes to Air on CBS Next Month
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is beaming up from Paramount+ to the CBS mothership.
The first two episodes of the streaming Trek series will re-air on CBS, TVLine has learned, on Friday, Sept. 8 at 8/7c. The special airing is part of the annual “Star Trek Day” celebration, held each year on Sept. 8 to mark the anniversary of the original Star Trek‘s TV debut in 1966.
The episodes, “Strange New Worlds” and “Children of the Comet,” originally aired in May 2022 as part of Strange New Worlds‘ freshman season on Paramount+. The series — which stars Anson Mount as Enterprise captain Christopher Pike, Ethan Peck as Spock and Rebecca Romijn as Number One — is a prequel to the original Star Trek series and returned for Season 2 in June, with a Season 3 renewal already secured earlier this year.
Also included in the “Star Trek Day” festivities: a special program hosted by Jerry O’Connell that will stream online and feature an exclusive sneak peek at the upcoming Season 4 of Star Trek: Lower Decks, along with new merchandise for sale and theatrical screenings of Lower Decks across the U.S., the UK and Canada.

Any Trekkies out there who will be watching Strange New Worlds for the first time on CBS? Beam down to the comments and let us know what you think about the special airing.
Honestly they should just air entire seasons of shows that were Paramount Plus given the current strikes.
The old one or two episode tease.
That’s “Trekkers” and yes.
You’re showing your age. We originals are Trekkies. And of course, I’m showing my age too.

If you went to the original cons in the 70s, you’re a Trekkie. And if you bought excellent replicas of phasers and tricorders from a man named James T. Kirk who drove a van that was painted to look like the shuttlecraft, you’re a super Trekkie.

We super geeknerd Trekkies and those cons kept the show alive.
You’re welcome.

He i’m a second generation fan minor since day one major since Voyager. Inhereted my mom’s books one which was signed by the author does that make me a Trekkie?
The only thing that can make you a Trekkie is a desire to be one. You sound eminently qualified for the title.
Robbing broadcasting to pay for streaming and robbing streaming to pay for broadcasting.
Why not just air the whole first season of strange new world?? U did it with Star Trek discovery during the first year of Covid
Plus, they already put that whole first season on YouTube for free to help launch season 2 on P+.
They have to pay or do new contracts depending on previous contracts signed. Streaming and prime time different money paid out. Also discovery even season 2, the pike year didn’t do great so would probably be better to burn thru criminal minds, seal team, and Yellowstone 1st.
Granted discovery was on with little promo on 10p thur a time slot that’s always an issue
They already played the whole first season of SNW on Pluto TV for free. And the first episode of S2 was also available for free on Paramount.
They should’ve been airing ALL the Star Trek Shows on CBS or one of their Networks from the start to show proper honor to Gene Roddenberry’s legacy! Gatekeeping Star Trek behind a paywall like they have been doing is just a show of greed.
First contact day is just something Paramount+/CBS All Access came up with 3 Yrs ago to promote their streaming show and new things you could buy. Don’t remember any Trek fans celebrating this in the past 40 Yrs I’ve been alive. Maybe we might care on the date listed in the shows 4/5/2063.

Good
Love you coming tomorrow broadcast. Some of us flat out refuse to stream but miss our favorite who have abandoned mainstream.
I love it, but after the two episodes, where do I watch any continuations?..im not on paramount+…so it’s a teaser for those of us who don’t have paramount+..why can’t it stay on CBS?
It stinks that we only get 2 episodes. The original series was on FREE TV and now they want us to pay for it. You CBS execs don’t get it do you, you will make way more money in ad revenue on free TV than you will ever make on pay-per-view. I might would watch the commercials if you get more than drug ads.
So in conclusion I hope you overly paid execs choke on your pay services this year as you won’t have any new showes due to the strike. Us as viewers I hope won’t help your bloted salaries by paying for a service that was once ad supported, and I also hope the advertisers won’t continue to pay for ads on reruns.
From a disgruntled viewer!!!
