Streaming service SkyShowtime is celebrating the 60th anniversary of Star Trek in Spain by launching a dedicated movie channel and streaming short films. The platform is expanding its streaming lineup to mark six decades since the franchise debuted.
The subscriber tribute includes a new thematic streaming channel titled Star Trek Movies, along with the first Spanish release of the anthology series Star Trek: Short Treks. Paramount, which holds the rights to Star Trek, distributes its catalog in Spain through the SkyShowtime platform.
Television producer Gene Roddenberry launched Star Trek in September 1966. Over six decades, the science fiction property has expanded from a single television show into a global entertainment brand spanning television series, feature films, video games, books, fan theories, and toys.
SkyShowtime operates as a joint venture streaming platform bringing content from Paramount Global and Comcast to subscribers across European markets. In Spain, the service acts as the primary hub for Star Trek television and film releases.
New movie channel and streaming options
The newly launched Star Trek Movies channel becomes the third dedicated franchise stream available to SkyShowtime subscribers. The channel broadcasts 13 feature films in sequential order, beginning with Star Trek: The Motion Picture from 1979 and continuing through Star Trek Beyond from 2016.
The 13 movies span multiple eras of the franchise. The 1979 original brought the television cast led by William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy to movie theaters, while 2016's Star Trek Beyond marked the 50th anniversary of the franchise with a rebooted ensemble cast.
The new movie channel joins two pre-existing Trek destinations on the service: Star Trek and Star Trek: Starfleet Academy. Platform subscribers also have access to Supernatural, a 24-hour linear streaming channel dedicated to broad science fiction entertainment.
Among the individual film highlights included in the service's broader movie catalog is Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. The 1982 release is widely regarded as one of the standout cinematic entries in the franchise.
Television series catalog and Spanish premieres
SkyShowtime's television offerings feature several of the most recent and prominent series in the franchise. Platform users can stream Star Trek: Discovery, Star Trek: Enterprise, Star Trek: Lower Decks, Star Trek: Picard, Star Trek: Prodigy, and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.
These television series represent different eras and formats within the fictional universe. Star Trek: Enterprise functions as a prequel setting up the founding of Starfleet, while Star Trek: Picard follows the later life of Admiral Jean-Luc Picard. Animated projects such as Star Trek: Lower Decks and Star Trek: Prodigy offer comedic and family-focused viewpoints on Starfleet life.
The anniversary tribute concludes with a premiere for Spanish viewers on November 18, 2026, when both seasons of Star Trek: Short Treks arrive on SkyShowtime. The release marks the first official broadcast of the short film collection in Spain.
Star Trek: Short Treks consists of short standalone stories that provide focused looks at individual characters from across the franchise. The collection includes standalone installments centered on Saru, portrayed by Doug Jones, and Sylvia Tilly, played by Mary Wiseman.
Doug Jones plays Saru, a Kelpien Starfleet officer introduced in Star Trek: Discovery who rises from lieutenant to starship captain. Mary Wiseman plays Sylvia Tilly, an enthusiastic Starfleet officer who starts her career as an Enterprise cadet before taking on leadership responsibilities.
Anniversary celebrations and subscriber access
Fans preparing for the official anniversary milestone on September 8, 2026, can access the linear channels and movie catalog immediately on SkyShowtime. The addition of Short Treks in November completes the service's anniversary programming package.
With round-the-clock themed channels and expanded film and television options, the streaming provider aims to serve as the definitive home for Spanish Trek fans as the franchise enters its seventh decade.
