“Star Trek” is still living long and prospering with new travels on CBS’ streaming service.

“Star Trek: Discovery,” a 15-episode prequel to the iconic adventures of Capt. Kirk and the Enterprise, will launch on CBS on Sept. 24. The first and second episode will be available for streaming immediately after the broadcast premiere, CBS said in a statement Monday morning.

After that, new episodes will be available to CBS All Access subscribers on demand on Sundays. The season will be released in two chapters: The first eight episodes will run from Sept. 24 through Nov. 5, and the last seven will resume in January. The series’ cast includes Michelle Yeoh, Jason Isaacs and Rainn Wilson.
