Star Trek: Discovery is already secretly renewed for Season 2, but could the CBS All Access series beam into Season 3 and beyond?
Speaking to THR, EP Alex Kurtzman said of the show’s long-term prospects:
I don’t know that we’ll have a tremendous amount of downtime between seasons. There have been many iterations of Trek that have run for a very long time. I only want to keep it going for as long as it feels fresh and like we have stories to tell. One of the great things about streaming is that we’re not obligated to 22 episodes, which allows us to tell more stories. So as long as we feel we are not compromising quality or scope, I’m down for whatever Trek becomes.
Star Trek: Discovery Season 2 is slated to release early 2019:
We’ve been very consistent in our message, which is that rather than announce a date and have to push again, let’s take into consideration everything we’ve learned from this season. Now we know what we can do and where the sand traps are, so let’s give ourselves ample time to announce a date that makes sense to everybody — both the needs of production and CBS. Breaking story is, in some ways, the easier and faster thing; it’s the ability to execute on it that’s much harder. We want to take the right amount of time and don’t want to rush. [..] Ideally [Season 2 will release] the early side of 2019.
Stay tuned as we continue to monitor the renew/cancel status of Star Trek: Discovery Season 3…

Great show hopeful that there is a season 3 and beyond

If we can get rid of the gay story lines in ST. This kind of left indoctrination has no place in an action based space cowboy and Indians show. Hollywierd has changed and not for the better!
DN says
There are no “gay” story lines. It is a show that happens to have gay characters, but last I checked, the gay wasn’t part of the plot. Love and loss are very much part of the show, but sexuality has nothing to do with that. It’s not “indoctrination” to acknowledge that people love who they love, and have done so since the dawn of civilization. There are no lessons there, no training, and no semester tests. It just is.Gay people exist, which is to say, people exist. In all shapes and forms. And they feel the same joys and sorrows that everyone else does. If you are so offended, then watch Mayberry RFD or I Love Lucy.

Just finished season 2; WOW!!! what a great story; makes me want a season 3 even more; have to say Discovery is better than the original Star Trek with all its spin offs and I have watched them all.
Larry Rummel says
Best Star Trek ever!
Cindy Peterson says

Discovery is Star Trek in the new age. My 21 year old is hooked on the show and it still has the great story that keeps a 55 year old (me) wanting more. This show will keep the franchise going for a long time. Bravo!
Great job, Can’t wait for next season.
