Star Trek Day is back again, and the franchise's powers that be are celebrating by boosting awareness of one of its most acclaimed shows, and giving those who don't have a Paramount+ subscription access to the OG timeline with Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. The spinoff is set to make its network TV debut via CBS, allowing just about anyone to enjoy a taste of Starfleet's throwback adventures, not to mention Anson Mount's much-discussed hair game as Pike, in addition to other activities happening throughout the day.
When Star Trek Day arrives on September 8th, CBS will be airing the first two hour-long episodes of Strange New Worlds' first season back-to-back, starting at 8:00 p.m. ET and PT. While some shows take a while to get invested in, SNW was an instant attention-grabber, so this limited offering may well be enough to convince a few on-the-fence consumers to sign on in order to check out the rest of the season.
