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. In addition to Facebook Live, The Ready Room is released for free on IGTV and YouTube, as well as on All Access for subscribers of that service.

Development

CBS announced an aftershow companion series to its CBS All Access television series Star Trek: Discovery in May 2017.[1] Titled After Trek, it was hosted by Matt Mira and streamed live on All Access following the release of Discovery episodes.[2] In June 2018, after production on the second season of Discovery had begun, a CBS spokesperson said the network was "reimagining" After Trek for the next season. The statement added that the next iteration of the talk show would "continue to have all the fan-driven elements that Star Trek: Discovery viewers enjoyed this season and more."[3]

In January 2019, CBS announced that After Trek had been canceled and was being replaced by weekly Facebook Live events to be streamed the day after each Discovery episode was released.[4] These Facebook Live events were soon revealed to be a new interview-style aftershow named The Ready Room, hosted by Naomi Kyle.[5] The title comes from the captain's private room onboard many Star Trek starships.[6] In January 2020, CBS announced a second season of The Ready Room would serve as the aftershow for its new series Star Trek: Picard, with former Star Trek: The Next Generation cast member Wil Wheaton serving as host for the season.[6]
