Gene Roddenberry’s Andromeda
ViacomCBS’s free ad-supported video-on-demand app, Pluto TV, has picked itself up a new science-fiction channel...Sadly, it’s not Star Trek (sorry to get your hopes up)! But it is another Gene Roddenberry series: Andromeda.
Roddenberry Entertainment made the announcement earlier this week. On Monday, they tweeted, “That’s right - Andromeda is now on Pluto TV! Catch it now on channel 660 on the app. Enjoy!”

Andromeda, also known as Gene Roddenberry’s Andromeda, was a science fiction show from the early 2000s, which starred Kevin Sorbo. Andromeda was produced by Majel Barrett, Roddenberry’s widow, and developed by Robert Hewitt Wolfe, who had previously produced Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. According to Wikipedia, “Andromeda is one of two TV series (to date) alongside Earth: Final Conflict based on concepts Roddenberry had created as early as the 1960s and 1970s.” IMDb says that in the show, Sorbo’s Dylan Hunt, captain of the Andromeda Ascendant, along with his crew, “set out on a mission to rebuild the Systems Commonwealth 300 years after its fall.”
If you’re new to the Pluto TV app, there are a couple of ways you can watch the show: first you can navigate to its channel, 660, where it plays continuously. Or you can watch the show on demand, episode by episode. Pluto TV is entirely free, but it does come with ads. Just like the olden days.
The Pluto TV app is available basically everywhere, including in your browser of choice, at pluto.tv.
