(written from a Production point of view)
Crave, formerly CraveTV, is a Canadian subscription video streaming service launched on 11 December 2014 by Bell Media. It competes in Canada with competitors Netflix and Prime Video. It was required to have a subscription to a supported television provider to obtain access until January 2016, but is now available to all residents in Canada.
CraveTV has all six classic Star Trek television series available for streaming, with Star Trek: The Original Series and Star Trek: The Next Generation in High Definition. Star Trek: Discovery and After Trek premiered on September 25, 2017, with new episodes being subsequently released the day after their initial Canadian airings on Space. Additionally, the documentaries Trek Nation and Building Star Trek were released in September 2017.
Star Trek: Picard became a Crave exclusive for Canada right from the start. [1]
In 2023, it was announced that as of 1 August 2023, Star Trek would no longer be available to stream on Crave with the exception of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, still streaming its second season at the time of the announcement, but which was later removed on 9 September 2023 as well after all, even though it would remain broadcast on CTV Sci-Fi Channel. Star Trek streaming was taken over by Paramount+ Canada. [2][3].
