The critics have spoken and Season 3 of Star Trek: Discovery is now officially certified fresh on the review aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes. With 27 reviews counted thus far, the third season of the CBS All Access series boasts a 93% fresh rating on the Tomatometer.
The critical consensus praises the season for its character development as the series continues to "forge its own path."
With less canonical baggage and a welcome dose of character development, Discovery continues to forge its own path and is narratively all the better for it.
Even fans seem to be on board with the latest season achieving a 62% audience score thus far. This is surely welcomed news for CBS All Access as the streaming service recently announced that Star Trek: Discovery has been renewed for a fourth season. Production on the upcoming season is slated to begin on November 2.
It's even more promising for the streaming service which has ramped up its production on all things Star Trek lately. In addition to Discovery, CBS All Access is home to Picard and the adult animated comedy Lower Decks. Multiple live-action and animated series are also in development, including Prodigy, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, and Section 31.
Season 3 of Star Trek: Discovery picks with the crew emerging from the wormhole they entered into in the second season finale and landing in an unknown future. "Now living in a time filled with uncertainty, the U.S.S. Discovery crew, along with the help of some new friends, must work together to restore hope to the Federation," the synopsis teases. Two episodes have been released so far with new episodes premiering every Thursday on the streaming service.
