Do you think Star Trek will radically change under Skydance? How much of a priority for them will Star Trek be? Will they replace Kurtzman? If they greenlight more Star Trek series, what do you think their tone and direction will be without the involvement of Kurtzman and with new people brought in? How concerned are you about it?
Predictions for Star Trek under Skydance?
- Thread starter Soong-type Android
- Start date
I don’t have enough information to form any kind of prediction, opinion, or expectation.
Insufficient information
I imagine one or two films, maybe a show.
I am unconcerned.
Streaming is ended. We get a movie. Very bland, very safe and very white/male, as per new guidelines not to upset Herr Trump. It's yet another TOS reboot.
The movie has all the merit of Men in Black: International or Star Trek: Section 31. Star Trek sleeps.

Or be designed to appeal to only them
The usual haters don't need a streaming service; they need a time machine to recapture the glory days.
Why is everyone convinced they will pivot away from streaming? Movies in general struggle to make money (according to Hollywood accounting at least) and the last Star Trek film didn't do well at the box office.
They are trying to acquire Warners, and therefore HBO. It doesn't suggest an intention to abandon streaming. Although I agree they will probably prioritise a new theatrical release first.
I would guess we will see an end to the current shows - SFA Season 2 will probably be the last. But there will be a refresh and a new show at some point, probably before 2030.
Presumably it will all be hetero white males, hot alien babes and phasers set to kill.

They have spoken about focusing on cinematic outpot and 'scaling' the streaming content which could mean anything.
Those conservative values we have to be sensitive to now.
P+ isn't going away from streaming.
But Trek has not turned out, over the last decade, to be their best streaming product. Their premiere and new subscription performance has been decent until recently, but they're hallaciously expensive for the numbers.
Which is why the best hope for more is the pending loss of product from Sheridan. He's their bread-and-butter.
You can be pretty confident, though, that Driscoll and Wiseman are going to take the franchise on P+ in a different direction. I'd expect Kurtzman to transition out, at best.

This could make it all more interesting...
Warner Bros. Discovery says Paramount makes higher bid, board will weigh offer against Netflix deal
Sarandos was mouthing off the other day, saying Paramount should Put Up or Shut Up. Well, well, well...

Will Kurtzman get axed? Maybe, probably will be given a chance to "right the boat" as he is still on contract for awhile. But will see. next 2 years is kind of spoken for with SA S2 and SNW 4 and 5.
Will the show pivot away from "Woke" stuff. Maybe, new owners are more conservative, so will probably trend in that direction.
Will they give us classical exploration, fun, cerebral stuff like days of yor? maybe.
As said. not enough information. its early days. But the status quo won't stay quo.

They tried that with Enterprise. It didn't work very well. White guys running the ship again! Not enough? Back to token minority bridge characters we generally ignore! Not enough? 9/11 revenge fantasy, badass space marines on the ship, Archer turning into an "ends justify the means" thug in space! Not enough? Orion boob women! What do you mean, cancelled?
I think you missed the entire point of that season. That criticism takes the surface elements of Enterprise season 3 and assumes that’s the message, when the season is really doing the opposite.
Wouldn't the days of Yor be in 2020?
This is axiomatic, isn't it?
Interesting if true. The ending of the Xindo arc is a lot less dark and a lot closer to real Star Trek than many of the season's episodes might lead one to expect, but the people who ended the season with literal alien space Nazis are not really about thoughtful, hidden depths in their storytelling.
