Back when Star Trek: Discovery was nonetheless the one new Star Trek present round, producer Alex Kurtzman had a glimmer in his eye a few time coming the place there could be all Star Trek, on a regular basis. Now, we’re mainly there, and it seems that glimmer will be fairly blinding.

The seventh episode of the season will stream on the service in its standard Thursday drop subsequent week, December 30, earlier than taking a month and a half off till February 10.

This isn’t the primary time that Discovery has taken a mid-season break, nevertheless. Season one took an identical month-and-a-half break between episodes 9 and 10, leaving followers on the cliffhanger twist of the ship dropping itself into the Mirror Universe. But it’s the first time that there’s simply a lot new Star Trek that it could possibly fill the hole left behind with extra new Star Trek.
