@Coliver

I don't follow the TV biz closely. What exactly does this mean? Is it no more Prodigy for sure, or is it being shopped around for someone to maybe continue it?

[–] jdc_nm@startrek.website 13 points 2 years ago (2 children)

In many cases like this they end up selling rights to one of the growing ad-supported streaming services, which means I personally will never watch. I had just started watching Prodigy in the gap between Picard and SNW. I think companies are being shortsighted in cutting back their catalogs in this way since it encourages people like me to cancel subscriptions between the initial broadcast of new seasons of the more popular series rather than stick around for something of perhaps secondary interest.

It also means that after a while people figure out the pattern of "new show, cancelled, new show, cancelled, repeat" and stop caring about originals. Like Netflix.

Maybe it's to sell it to a streamer more kid-friendly than Paramount+? I may be too naïve.

The only streamer that’s more kid-friendly is Disney+. Netflix is trying hard to boost its original kids content through.
