    There is now an official announcement at ST.com:

    http://www.startrek.com/article/new-star-trek-series-premieres-january-2017

    I doesn't really say anything about the series plot, but the very last sentence says:

    "The new television series is not related to the upcoming feature film Star Trek Beyond which is scheduled to be distributed by Paramount Pictures in summer 2016."

    I'm assuming that means it is NOT in the JJ-verse at all, since they said "not related".

    those involved in new trek are working on it.
    In other words it will be as trek as star trek online.

    Yeah it's going to be something brand new:
    The brand-new Star Trek will introduce new characters seeking imaginative new worlds and new civilizations, while exploring the dramatic contemporary themes that have been a signature of the franchise since its inception in 1966.

    I wonder if Netflix will get it also?
    It has all the Trek TV series to stream. (including the animated one)

    Not that it really matters I suppose, somebody, somewhere, will upload it to the net ASAP anyway.

    I doubt it. It looks like CBS is developing it's own streaming service and this will be the first show for it. And since this is a CBS production I imagine this will be set in the prime universe.

    I don't believe TOS is available on Netflix anymore.​​

    Ummm... yep, it does.
    I'm in the middle of the second season for the umpteenth time.
    (and they are the HD versions with the new effects)

    All the series are still on Netflix but I imagine that won't be true for much longer.

    See, I feel totally the opposite.
    I like all the shows he's producing for TV now-a-days...
    Hawaii 5-0, Scorpion, Sleepy Hollow, and the new one this season Limitless.

    Odd. It didn't appear on my list anymore. TNG, DS9 and Voyager are still there. TOS was gone.

    Anyway, watching reruns of those is preferable to anything Kurtzman will produce. As much as it pains me to say it, it's almost preferable to have Brannon Braga come back.​​

    I'll give it a chance.

    Netflix just recently started adding the HD version of the Next Gen episodes.
    They've had Trek for streaming since 2011 here in the USA.
    I suppose CBS could pull them, but I don't really think they will want to give up the revenue stream.
    Netflix is a very popular secondary-market money maker at the moment.

    A new show by the same geniuses that made Star Trek 2009 and ID which primary secondary purpose is to promote CBS new VOD platform?

    What could possibly go wrong with that? pig-2.gif​​

    It looks like CBS is making their own streaming service. If they make it the go to place for all things Trek...they can replace that revenue stream with a much greater revenue stream.

    Yeah, that's a brilliant idea, everybody and their brother is creating a streaming service...
    The market is already getting over-saturated and I for one, am not willing to pay 20 different services to watch what I like.
    Besides, by the time this hits the airwaves it'll probably have been changed several times.
    Heh.. as I said above, as soon as it becomes available, it'll be on the internetz somewhere.

    People used to say the same thing about TV networks. However CBS could be banking on the fact that their streaming service will be the only one that has Star Trek on it.

    Ok, so now for a little plot speculation: this series almost certainly has to be after Nemesis. Why? Because anything before Nemesis would tie the hands of the writers, because they would have to stick to existing canon established in the previous TV shows/movies. After Nemesis gives them complete freedom to make new canon without contradicting anything. Also, it means there is a very good chance STO's storyline will be completely disregarded.

    and from the trend ive seen anyone outside of the us can go TRIBBLE it.
    We already have this with things like the walking dead spin off where they will realise them in places like the uk but in order to get them you have to folk out some rediclous price.

    this would be a fair assumption. Not sure why anyone thought STO was going to be canon.

    It will be interesting to see if/how the game changes to fit the new series though.
