Star Trek: Discovery is taking an unscheduled break in the season after its next episode on December 30th, Gizmodo has reported. It''ll be off for a month and a half until February 10th, essentially making way for the next season of the kids-oriented Star Trek Prodigy , set to return on January 6th. Discovery took a similar mid-season break in season one, but this time there''s more content to fill the gap. After it returns in February and finishes its run, the second season of Picard should be about ready to launch. The idea of having enough Star Trek series to run them nearly continuously was Paramount''s goal when Discovery first launched in 2018 .

From a content standpoint, however, the season started controversially when Paramount announced that the series would be pulled from Netflix in non-US territories. Season 4 is now streaming on Pluto TV in some countries in Europe, at least until Paramount+ can expand to those regions.

The prototype is, yes, a little icky, despite the hygienic film that can be treated between tastings. According to Reuters , Miyashita is already discussing spin-off applications for the spray tech, like applying pizza or chocolate flavors to a slice of toasted bread. Dont tell him about Nutella.
