Netflix retains the rights to air new episodes of the series while Channel 4 will start airing the show - taking it back to the start and beginning with the very first season. This will allow reach for all audiences who wish to experience the latest Star Trek adventures. The press release reads as follows.
“We’re excited to bring the linear television rights for Star Trek: Discovery to the international market and launch in the U.K. with our valued friends at Channel 4. This agreement features the best of both worlds – premium subscription content from a global franchise and a very popular network comedy from America’s Most-Watched Network. Channel 4 is already a licensee for several of our top-rated franchises, including The Good Fight and Charmed, and we are confident they will have continued success with Star Trek: Discovery and Man with a Plan.” - Barry Chamberlain, President of Sales, CBS Studios International
