In great news for Star Trek fans, Star Trek Discovery season 4 has been fast tracked to Australia with the first 2 episodes available on Nov 26th to local Paramount+ subscribers.
ViacomCBS the owner of Star Trek backed down on it’s controversial plan to delay making the series available outside North America until 2022 after a backlash from Star Trek fans and prominent actors in the series.
Here it is!

Yet another subsciption service, it was on netflix now it isnt which means yet another cache of subscription funds, pass
Still can’t watch it here in Kiwi land.
Some good news. However, it’s still a retrograde step. No 4K, dolby vision or HDR star trek content for Australia at the moment. Discovery looked fantastic on Netflix. If it looks as good on Paramount plus I will be very surprised.
