The Ready Room

The Ready Room is an American aftershow on Paramount+ in which a host discusses episodes of a first-run Star Trek television series on the service (previously CBS All Access) with cast and crew members from the series. It replaced a previous aftershow, After Trek, which was live streamed on All Access following episodes of the first season of Star Trek: Discovery. The series is also made for Facebook Live. CBS revealed plans in January 2019 to re-imagine After Trek for the second season of Discovery, and announced The Ready Room shortly after. Naomi Kyle hosted the aftershow for that season. In January 2020, Wil Wheaton was named as host for a second season of The Ready Room that serves as an aftershow for the first season of the series Star Trek: Picard. Wheaton returned to host aftershow episodes for the series Star Trek: Lower Decks, Star Trek: Prodigy, the third and fourth seasons of Discovery, the second and third seasons of Star Trek: Picard, and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. In addition to Facebook Live, The Ready Room is released on IGTV, YouTube, and on Paramount+ for subscribers. Development CBS announced an aftershow companion series to its CBS All Access television series Star Trek: Discovery in May 2017. Titled After Trek, it was hosted by Matt Mira and streamed live on All Access following the release of Discovery episodes. By June 2018, with production on the second season of Discovery underway, CBS was "reimagining" After Trek for the next season. The network said the next iteration would "continue to have all the fan-driven elements that Star Trek: Discovery viewers enjoyed this season and more."
