Doesn’t Ten still have their output deal with CBS Studios International? They should get Star Trek.
They do. I still see Star Trek constantly on Eleven.
If it is on Eleven, it will be after it’s on Netflix going by the press release.
Also showing on ONE

I wonder what type of quality Netflix will get in their prints. Will they get the remastered HD versions that were made for some of the series?
The new series is for CBS’ all-access streaming service… so perhaps that falls under a different licensing agreement.

If successful, it’ll be good to see Netflix invest in Australian content, something lacking compared to Stan and Presto both having original Australian series.

Yep, completely agree - Netflix are going big with original content I’m struggling to get through what I want to watch.
I’ve still got Making a Murderer, OITNB S3 & 4, Grace and Frankie, Daredevil S1 & 2, Jessica Jones and Narcos that I want to watch but haven’t had time to get to.
Admittedly some newer shows that have launched have caught my attention i.e. I’ve finished Stranger Things which was absolutely incredible, thinking of starting Narcos next…
