Star Trek: Discovery season 2 returned after a dramatic change of showrunners behind the scenes. Here’s everything you need to know to watch Star Trek: Discovery season 2 and season 3 this spring for free.
Season 1 ended with Michael Burnham and her crewmates meeting up with the U.S.S. Enterprise, which means some exciting new additions to the cast. Anson Mount plays Captain Kirk’s predecessor Christopher Pike, while Ethan Peck will play Spock—10 years younger than the version we met in the Original Series. The Enterprise and Discovery crews will team up against a new antagonist known as the Red Angel, while Klingon political conflicts simmer on in the background.
With Michelle Yeoh returning as the Mirror Universe version of Burnham’s mentor Captain Georgiou, this season is an exciting mix of old and new.
How to watch Star Trek: Discovery season 2 for free (and season 3 this spring)

What is CBS All Access?
Launched in 2017, CBS All Access is a standalone subscription service from CBS and the exclusive home of Star Trek: Discovery. But its appeal goes way beyond Trekkies.

With CBS All Access, you can also watch all of your favorite CBS shows, past and present, with more than 10,000 episodes available to stream from popular hits like The Big Bang Theory and S.W.A.T. There are also other notable originals like The Good Fight, Tell Me a Story, One Dollar, Strange Angel, and No Activity. Perhaps even more exciting, CBS All Access will soon include the rebooted Twilight Zone.
CBS All Access cost
CBS All Access costs either $5.99 per month with commercials or $9.99 per month to stream commercial-free. Either way, you’ll start with a free one-week trial. (Of course, if you watch live TV via CBS All Access, you’ll have to sit through live commercials, even if you’re on the upgraded plan. Only on-demand content can be watched without ads.)
