Overview
- Starfleet Academy, which CBS Studios and Paramount+ said Monday will conclude with its already filmed second season, remains in post-production without a premiere date.
- Trade outlets cite weak traction, noting it did not appear on Nielsen’s streaming Top 10 during Season 1 and logged an 87% critics score versus a much lower audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.
- The move contributes to a pause in TV production for the brand, with no Star Trek series now shooting as two seasons of Strange New Worlds await release and trades point to a near‑term focus on a new film.
- Longtime steward Alex Kurtzman is in talks with CBS Studios on a new overall deal, and coverage raises open questions about how he will guide the franchise next.
- Showrunners promised to “finish strong” in a public letter, while cast member Karim Diané and series veteran William Shatner voiced disappointment in social posts.
