'Star Trek: Picard' becomes Crave's most streamed series debut in history

CBS

Bell Media announced that the recently released Star Trek: Picard is the most-streamed debut on its Crave streaming service. The company counted total streams of the pilot episode in the week following its premiere on January 23. Crave gets a new episode of the show every Thursday night. Picard also airs on Thursday's on Bell's CTV Sci-Fi channel. 

Star Trek: Picard marks the return of Patrick Stewart as Jean-Luc Picard. It explores the fallout following the death of Data in Star Trek: Nemesis— which is also the last time Stewart appeared on a Star Trek project—as well as the destruction of Romulus in J.J. Abrams' 2009 Star Trek movie. The show has already been renewed for a second season, giving fans more episodes to look forward to.
