Star Trek Day is coming September 8th!
The original Star Trek TV series first aired on September 8, 1966 and to commemorate the 54th anniversary of the premiere, CBS All Access will have an all-day virtual celebration. It will include virtual panels featuring past, current, and future cast members along with a marathon of selected episodes from every Star Trek show.
