CBS All Access, the CBS Television Network’s digital subscription video on demand and live streaming service, today announced After Trek, Star Trek: Discovery‘s live companion after-show, which will debut following the show’s premiere this Sunday and will be hosted by Matt Mira.
After Trek‘s first live, in-studio guests will include Star Trek: Discovery stars Sonequa Martin-Green (First Officer Michael Burnham), James Frain (Ambassador Sarek) and Star Trek: Discovery executive producer and co-showrunner Aaron Harberts.
The inaugural episode will be available exclusively to CBS All Access subscribers on Sunday, Sept. 24 (11:00 PM, ET/8:00 PM, PT), following CBS All Access’ launch of the first two episodes of Star Trek: Discovery. Starting Sunday, Oct. 1, all subsequent After Trek episodes will be available to stream live at 9:30 PM, ET following new episodes of Star Trek: Discovery. In addition, all episodes will be available to watch on demand for CBS All Access subscribers.
After Trek will serve as the ultimate weekly forum for “Star Trek” fans, with in-depth discussions and recaps of the latest Star Trek: Discovery episode. Each After Trek episode will feature host Matt Mira talking in-studio or via video feed with Star Trek: Discovery cast members and crew along with past “Star Trek” talent and celebrity fans. While watching, fans will be able to “engage” with the show via social and other interactive elements by using the hashtag #AfterTrek.

Mira is currently a writer for the ABC comedy “The Goldbergs,” and his other credits include being a staff writer for Comedy Central’s @midnight and a host on G4’s “Attack of the Show.” In addition to co-hosting the Nerdist Podcast, Matt is the host of many podcasts, including “James Bonding,” “Star Trek: The Next Conversation,” and “Matt and Doree’s Eggcellent Adventure,” where he and his wife detail their struggles with infertility.
