Get your internet-enabled televisions or set-top boxes or computers or tablets ready because Star Trek: The Next Generation is coming to Pluto TV. In case you don’t know what that means: Star Trek: The Next Generation will soon be streaming - for free - on ViacomCBS’s ad-supported video-on-demand service.

A piece from Deadline explained yesterday that Star Trek: The Next Generation is one of 40 hit shows from CBS and Comedy Central that will be heading to Pluto TV this summer. The content is due to roll out next week, adding an astonishing 100,000 hours of content to the service.

The selection of shows pulls some of the biggest hits from ViacomCBS’s newly-merged library. Besides Next Gen, the shows include juggernauts like CSI: Miami and CSI: New York, Beverly Hills 90210 and Melrose Place, America’s Next Top Model, MacGyver, and Moesha. The first 10 seasons of Comedy Central’s South Park will also be available (the rest of them will be headed to HBO Max).

This type of content-sharing from ViacomCBS’s library across its streaming services, CBS All Access and Pluto TV, has arguably been inevitable since we first learned that Viacom and CBS would be merging. In August of last year, when the intent to merge was first announced, one of the key strategies for the combined company was to “accelerate direct-to-consumer strategy”. In short, invest in streaming services. In November of last year, Pluto TV quietly added three new channels from CBS Interactive. And of course, in the past couple months alone, we’ve seen Gene Roddenberry’s Andromeda coming to the free service, as well as a selection of “culturally relevant” Star Trek episodes across several series.

It’s not clear at the moment whether Pluto TV will be running the original or remastered version of TNG, or whether its ads will be programmed to run during TNG’s original ad breaks (because how cool would that be?!). We’ve reached out to Pluto TV for clarification. But for now, it’s definitely worth going and making an account on Pluto TV and checking out all the great TV they have on offer - for free. You can do that at pluto.tv or your smart TV or set-top box. Star Trek: The Next Generation, and all the other new shows, are expected to land next week.
