CBS has announced that its upcoming venture Star Trek: Discovery will launch on September 24.

The highly-anticipated series—and the first foray into the Star Trek universe since Enterprise concluded in 2005—will be available on digital platform CBS All Access. Viewers without CBS All Access will get a taste of the adventure during a special broadcast premiere on September 24 at 8:30/7:30c.

Directly following the broadcast premiere, the second episode will be available to stream on CBS All Access. All subsequent episodes will be released on the streaming service on Sundays, following in the footsteps of The Good Wife spinoff, The Good Fight. Season 1 consists of 15 episodes, eight of which will premiere September 24 through November 8. The second half resumes in January 2018.

Although the series, which is set a decade before the events of the original 1966 Star Trek series, will feature a new ship and new characters, it aims to “embrace the same ideology and hope for the future that inspired a generation of dreamers and doers,” according to CBS.
