Star Trek Comes to Netflix in 188 Countries Under New Global Deal

CBS Studios International has made a major deal to put Star Trek shows on Netflix worldwide, reaching 188 countries. This doesn't replace Star Trek's exclusive home on Paramount+ in the U.S. and U.K.—instead, it works alongside it. Here's how it breaks down: new Star Trek series like Starfleet Academy will premiere on Paramount+ first in the U.S., U.K., and a few other key markets. Then Netflix handles distribution everywhere else. This split approach helps the franchise make more money and reach more viewers without CBS having to build its own streaming infrastructure in every country.
