(written from a Production point of view)
The Ready Room is a companion series for the new main Star Trek series. It first premiered in January 2019 with the second season of Star Trek: Discovery. It is the third companion Star Trek series, the second series to not be set in the Star Trek universe, and the scaled-down replacement for Discovery season one's companion show After Trek.
An aftershow interview series, with no predetermined run time, The Ready Room was intended to be viewed after watching a new episode of the main series Star Trek series on CBS All Access at the time. The first, interview only, season was hosted by Naomi Kyle and streamed on Facebook Live the day after the debut of each Discovery episode, starting with the second episode of season two.
The second season was hosted by Wil Wheaton and covered season one of Star Trek: Picard, with a new episode available on both CBSAA and Facebook Live the same day as the Picard episode it was covering. [1] Aware that Picard was eagerly awaited by fans, the franchise opted to beef out the format with additional features, which included excerpts from special features that were already produced during the series' production for intended inclusion in whole on the later to be released DVD and Blu-ray Disc home video formats, as well as the inclusion of trivia questions and previews for subsequent episodes. The format therefore moved back closer to the format it was originally intended to replace, After Trek.
