    Strange New Worlds' showrunners advise fans to write to Skydance and Paramount if they're interested in a "Year One" Kirk sequel series

    I view this stuff in a matter of degrees. Many cancellations occur with neither any form of forewarning, nor the opportunity to go back and adjust anything. That’s the norm. Discovery’s cancellation wasn’t quite so bad. They didn’t get to do more than film a coda, but the fact that they even...

    Strange New Worlds' showrunners advise fans to write to Skydance and Paramount if they're interested in a "Year One" Kirk sequel series

    I have to say, this seems a very strange argument going around this last page or so, and I do have to agree with Dukhat. If you didn’t specifically plan in advance that a series would end at a certain time, and your bosses come to you and say “Guess what? You’re going to stop now. …okay, you...

    And the Next Cancelled Show is...

    FUBAR canceled. Now Arnold can join Sly over on Paramount Plus with Memphis King or Raleigh King or Little Rock King.

    Is DS9 worth binging?

    I've never finished VOY. I actually enjoy ENT more, which feels like it's between TNG and BSG. However, by the time it aired, I can imagine most people had Star Trek burn out. And by the time it got its footing, it was canceled with a horrible ending.

    Not them, CBS. They said "we want to cancel the show". Akiva and Henry asked for a fifth season of six episodes and CBS said okay.

    Paramount wanted the show to end after S4. Akiva & Co. weren't anticipating it.

    Strange New Worlds' showrunners advise fans to write to Skydance and Paramount if they're interested in a "Year One" Kirk sequel series

    If they were planning to end, and not cancel, the show at the end of season 4, why did they need 6 more episodes?

    I thought they were going to end it at four, but Akiva and Henry talked them into a short fifth season. So like the end of LD, we’re getting something extra.

    Strange New Worlds' showrunners advise fans to write to Skydance and Paramount if they're interested in a "Year One" Kirk sequel series

    So could somebody with an ounce of sense please explain why a truncated fifth season isn’t an indicator that the show is being cancelled? Because the way @Tuskin38 described it, the show was getting the chopping block after S4 but somehow CBS acquiesced to allowing six more episodes to...

    Strange New Worlds' showrunners advise fans to write to Skydance and Paramount if they're interested in a "Year One" Kirk sequel series

    If we were currently on season 5 I would agree with you 100% but deciding to end a story in advance isnt a cancellation per se it's a scheduled conclusion. At most, you could compromise and say a deferred cancellation but a cancellation means no more not finish the batch you're on and then make...

    Strange New Worlds' showrunners advise fans to write to Skydance and Paramount if they're interested in a "Year One" Kirk sequel series

    Yeah, except if the studio didn't see any profit in doing so - they wouldn't commit to it. Remember this decision was made when Paramount still was not certain the Paramount/Skydance merger would go through and get final approval

    Strange New Worlds' showrunners advise fans to write to Skydance and Paramount if they're interested in a "Year One" Kirk sequel series

    This is appropriate for all 3 quotes, but didn't Akiva or someone say in an interview that they had to fight for a 5th season? Sounds more like it was going to be cancelled at 4 but they managed to convince the studio to give them a 5th with 6 episodes as a compromise.

    The 5th Season of SNW is promoted the same way the 7th season of TNG... Paramount: "It's the last season..." So no, not cancelled - ended - and announced before the 5th season was written.

    Stating that Strange New Worlds wasn't cancelled isn't "arguing semantics". It's making a statement of fact.

    Strange New Worlds' showrunners advise fans to write to Skydance and Paramount if they're interested in a "Year One" Kirk sequel series

    Is SNW getting a sixth season? No? And the fifth season got cut short? Yes? Sure sounds like cancellation to me. Really, this argument is quite stupid. When SNW was in preproduction three years ago, did the CBS suits sit down at that time and say ‘We’re only gonna produce the show for five...

    An example of something that was Cancelled versus something that wasn't, provided in order to illustrate what the term actually means. Cancelled: The Wheel of Time. Negotiations for future seasons broke down, and the actors were released from their contracts. Not cancelled: She-Ra and the...

    Newsflash: Grey's Anomony to run for 2 more seasons , with the second being shortered in half. Canceled in disgrace 😄

    Strange New Worlds' showrunners advise fans to write to Skydance and Paramount if they're interested in a "Year One" Kirk sequel series

    If they were planning on at least five seasons (which we don’t know for sure), and the fifth season was announced as the last but was cut from ten episodes to six, I’m not sure how anyone wouldn’t get ‘cancelled’ from that. It’s like someone’s living in denial :lol:
