And that's a fun idea.
I don't see the problem.

Star Trek can be any genre.
That's why multiple shows airing at the same time is a good idea, so people have choices.
You do realize that all those shows got cancelled, right? So that’s obviously not as good an idea as you thought.
4-5 seasons are good runs for modern Streaming shows.
SFA was probably cancelled because of the ownership changes.
Yup, this. 5 is the new 7, but even that only goes so far as what the studio management of the day wants.
Not sure how that changes my point that the shows were prematurely cancelled.
I’m just happy they didn’t give the keys to the franchise to Tawny.
Or because the ratings weren't up to snuff. Just like Prodigy.
So if SFA was a streaming juggernaut that brought in loads of new subscribers for Paramount+ and made loads of money, you think it would've still been cancelled because of "ownership changes"?
Probably not. The new people have a huge task ahead of them over the next five to ten years. Lines of business that are currently successful aren't likely to be on the high priority list to dick around with.
People are way too anxious about the political ideology angle here. Most of the film industry is owned by conservatives, if not actively managed by them. Always has been. If the Ellisons feel a need to demonstrate their support of some Administration, messing around with stuff like CNN is more visible and effective and doesn't freak out the stockholders. Everyone isn't Elon Musk.
Yes. They're trying to wipe the slate clean.
Yes.
Because new leadership will do that. I'm watching it with a business I use to work for after it's purchase last year.
And probably realizing that streaming Trek series was not a good business model. Especially multiple series at once.
I would be much looking forward to an Enterprise sequel. I'm not holding my breath, but I wouldn't call it impossible either. Time will tell.
An Enterprise spin-off tapping into a human spaceflight zietgiest, while people are back walking on the moon in a couple of years, is a fun idea. If the concept feeds into that, as much as it does Clancy political thriller in space.
What they probably want is a prequel to the prequel about Zefram Cochrane, with no anti-gravity, early colonies on Alpha or Proxima Centuari and hard Interstellar sci-fi about journeys involving time dilation. Which would keep that character alive to crossover with future century legacy shows.
