CBS All-Access Gets Subscriber Boost From Star Trek: Discovery Season 2

The new season of Star Trek: Discovery has led to a big jump in subscribers for CBS All-Access. CBS Interactive announced that the service “added more subscribers in a single weekend than ever before” during this past weekend, which saw the premiere of season two as well as the the AFC Championship Game. The service noted that it broke the previous record by 72%, but gave out no specific numbers.

Star Trek: Discovery is about the voyages of Starfleet on their missions to discover new worlds and new lifeforms, and one Starfleet officer who must learn that to truly understand all things alien, you must first understand yourself. At the end of the season one finale, it showed that the Discovery has finally encountered the USS Enterprise.
