When Star Trek: Discovery is released, it will be distributed on a number of platforms, depending on location. If you know of others that I haven't listed, please post them!

Canada: CraveTV, Space
Europe and Other: Netflix
United States: CBS All Access

Does anyone know, if it will be exclusive to Netflix in Europe? I'm hoping for Amazon Prime Video.

It's exclusive to Netflix in Europe, it may end up on Amazon after the series has finished.

Hm, I'm not really sure if it is worth to get a Netflix account for that, but this opinion might be better placed in the discussion thread. Anyway, thank you for the information!

To the best of my knowledge Canada will also be the first to have a cable television channel broadcast the episode's free-to-air (for subscribers of Space) in addition to CraveTV internet subscription service.

More recently since the 50th 'Space' has also been airing every episode of ToS, TNG, DS9, Voyager, and Enterprise 5 day's a week in order since July -- previously they also regularly had rerun's of various classic Trek episodes.

I have added it to the list, nice find! Gives Canada another option, I have no idea how popular Space is as a cable provider though, since, I am in the UK!

Discovery is now 'available' on Netflix, and by that I mean it is listed there ans you can add it to your list. It has no picture when you click on it and a brief description. But hey, better than nothing!

Well, there isn't anything to watch yet

Hopefully they will stick to this one.

Woohoo, I have both the space channel and crave

Still think us Yankess are being screwed. I have no problem subscribing to Netflix to watch Discovery. I already subscribe to it.

I still don't understand why they're doing it this way.

Don't they realize they're setting themselves up to become the number one illegally downloaded series ever, when they could've had Discovery be the most profitable show in Startrek history?

I'm going to be honest here:
I will probably be one of the "pirates" who'll download the episodes at the latest an hour after they've aired on Netflix.

Don't get me wrong, i wouldn't do it if i didn't have to, but they leave me no choice. NOT watching Discovery is NOT an option!

I have no problem with paying for watching Discovery, as long as the price is reasonable. I do have a problem with being forced to take a subscription to a service that i don't need, want or can afford.

At the current rate i'd have to caugh up 12€ a month for a subscription (to get the UltraHD quality.)
The only thing i'd use Netflix for would be to watch Startrek Discovery.

That's 3€ per episode in my book, without getting a copy of the episode for the obligatory re-watching and re-re-re-watching of each episode....

That's more than i can afford, and more than i'd want to spend on any streaming content.

Another problem is that i don't have an internet connection atm. with which i can stream ultra hd quality reliably,
My internet subscription is the cheapest available (by nesessity, not by choice) which enables me to watch normal streams (up to 1080p) ok but anything higher quality than that rarely plays without pauses, disconnects or other issues.

Yet another problem is that i don't have the money to spend on such a Netflix subscription,

What i need is a way to pay per download, so i can download the episode in uhd and then watch it offline. Either that or have the show be available at the tv-provider i already have, or at least will have next week. (i have taken a tv and internet in one subscription with a local cable provider)

But seeing that isn't going to happen, i'll be jumping through my trusted vpn onto my proxy from where i'll choose an appropriate torrent to download. I'll still support Discovery eventually of course, buying the dvd or blueray set as it is released, but initially i haven't got a choice but to be a pirate once more.

I know i'll hardly be alone. I think Discovery is going to top the pirate charts on the torrentz. What i don't understand is why CBS Paramount and whoever else decides the distribution of a series like discovery don't have the foresight to predict this.

So since I'm in Texas, there is no chance for me to watch the show since I don't want to purchase CBS all access?


I am watching the oriville but I have to wait the day after it airs and watch online since I don't pay for any tv/cable.( I would watch it on fox but Im not home when it's on.)

[Bridger]

If you have Netflix you could use a VPN an connect that way.
