Episodes of After Trek were released on All Access after each episode of Discovery was released, beginning with that show's premiere on September 24, 2017, and running through to its season finale on February 11, 2018. In addition to guest interviews, each episode of the aftershow also included live interactive polls and behind-the-scenes segments.
By June 2018, CBS had decided to re-imagine After Trek for the second season of Discovery. In January 2019, After Trek was canceled and replaced by The Ready Room, a new interview-based aftershow hosted by Naomi Kyle before being replaced by Wil Wheaton in 2020.

Each aftershow episode also includes pre-preoduced behind-the-scenes segments about the making of Discovery, and ends with a preview clip of the next episode of Discovery.[5]
