Wasn’t it just a few weeks ago that Paramount wanted to dump Trek? Isn’t that why Prodigy is on Netflix?
Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for more Trek (nu-trek?) but I’m terrified they’ll spread the IP thin like Disney did SW. I guess SNW is the only episodic live-action series we’ll be getting.
Paramount+ has been cancelling shows (which sucks and is bad), but they're certainly not dumping the franchise has a whole.
Prodigy moved to Netflix because the studio - also owned by Paramount - was able to shop it around for a new distributor.
I'm not sure if someone was trying to figure out ways to increase their profitability to avoid getting bought out, or if they were trying to increase their value to make buying them out a more attractive deal, or what.. but there was definitely a whole lot of "wtf are they thinking?" moves at Paramount, just as there were at HBO a year or so ago.
They were definitely flinging options at walls to try to get some kind of effect. But they were doing it with no apparent rhyme nor reason, at least to us out here.
I suspect we'll see another round of readjustments if/when Skydance gets their merger handled. I suspect there's people over there just chomping at the bit to get their hands deep in some Trek productions.
There was a while where I was really hopeful Apple would buy Paramount. Seemed like a good fit and I think Apple would do ST right.
