CBS All Access Sets ‘Star Trek Day’ For Sept. 8
CBS All Access is bringing Star Trek Day to fans on Tuesday, September 8. The virtual event will bring the Star Trek community together and provide fans with exclusive programming and initiatives.
The lineup includes panels with the cast and creatives from nine Star Trek television series, exclusive news from the Star Trek Universe on CBS All Access, curated Star Trek series marathons and more.
