Cut and pasted shamelessly from StarTrek.com:
"CBS Television Studios announced today it will launch a totally new Star Trek television series in January 2017."
"The brand-new Star Trek will introduce new characters seeking imaginative new worlds and new civilizations, while exploring the dramatic contemporary themes that have been a signature of the franchise since its inception in 1966."
"The new television series is not related to the upcoming feature film Star Trek Beyond which is scheduled to be distributed by Paramount Pictures in summer 2016."

I started watching seriously a few episodes in to season two and it worked for me. Although at some point (during season three?) I did watch season one. There are events in season one that have significant payoffs later. I remember the season one stories being tough to watch on their own but boy did a lot of them pay off.
