The old Trek series is leaving Netflix.

In the Netherlands we have SkyShowtime, which is basically the home for Paramount stuff. The Star Trek stuff there varies, sometimes they have all the movies, sometimes all the shows. I wonder if this means everything will move there permanently.

Well, as far as permanently is a thing in the world of streaming.
 
I feel confident that Paramount+ will keep the Trek series in perpetuity. (Prodigy was the lone exception.) Star Trek is Paramount+'s bread and butter. It is literally a make or break property for them. Without Trek, I'm pretty sure the service would fold. (Even the announcement video for the new Spaceballs movie jokes about it being an entire streaming service devoted to Star Trek.)

They have all the Taylor Sheridan shows, The Good Fight, Evil, Yellowjackets, Mayor of Kingstown, Lioness etc., which are all successful and/or critically acclaimed and I'm sure several of them do better than Star Trek which really isn't that big anymore outside the fandom bubble.

(Yup, "Get a Life" was deemed too surreal and morbid, so let's do the same thing but as a drawn cartoon instead of a live action one! )
 
I have made sure that I have all of the Trek stuff I care about on physical disk. While we do subscribe to some streaming services, I generally use them for new movies or movies I've never seen that I won't want to re-watch. Anything I really enjoy or know I will rewatch often, I will buy the disk.

for Star Trek, that means I have:
