That doesn't really hold completely true anymore as Streams are creating Ad tiers at a cheaper cost so those that don't want commercials REALLY pay for that privilege now, and even Paramount has a completely Ad supported free streaming service called 'Pluto TV' that they've been successful a turning a profit with.Sterling K. Brown had a pretty good explanation of why the streaming model isn't built to afford long seasons - the shift from advertising-supported to subscriber-supported:
No. Network shows are rarely even making it to twenty episodes these days, and it's rare to go beyond that. These days, eighteen episodes is often considered a full season on a network, and it's not uncommon to find shows with less than that. Indeed, Fox even considers a twenty-two episode season to be an "Extra Large Episode Count."
So yeah, that’s what I thought. The sets have been taken down, but there’s been no actual word about them being auctioned off or tossed in the bin.
Neither have been trashed as yet.

When the Enterprise sets were bulldozed, crew got pictures of the trashpile in the parking lot up online pretty quickly. And that was 2006.

Nothing has been destroyed. Only SFA's sets have been confirmed to be dismantled for auction purposes, not destroyed.
Not really.
Shh. No one tell him about British telly.

Whether the SNW sets have been dismantled is not in question. What is in question is whether they’re being auctioned off or destroyed. There’s been no word on that yet, only that they’ve been taken down. That makes sense, as even in the unlikely event that Year One moves forward, it would not go into production for well over a year.The sets have been dismantled and are being auctioned off for both SFA and SNW. When I posted the link from 'Trek Central', it was because I had seen the original post from one of the set crew on Facebook (Dallas Suess). I tried to link to his post, but he'd taken it down very quickly - I think he must've been told to by someone because all his posts on Facebook are gone. That's the only reason I used the Trek Central link as they must've seen the same post as me. It reminded me of how John Eaves was forced to delete his whole Facebook account over the design of the TOS Enterprise controversy where he said he was told to make it 25% different for legal reasons.
You can read about it here. I collect Star Trek props (I don't have the deepest of pockets though - so my collection is limited). What us collectors expect is that the 403 auction house will sell the larger props (as they don't do postage). What I expect to happen is that the more coveted items like uniforms, phasers, tricorders etc... will be auctioned later by one of the bigger prop houses like prop store or heritage.
Star Trek Universe Auction Announced; ‘Starfleet Academy’ AND ‘Strange New Worlds’ Sets Dismantled
It's time to wrap things up in Toronto for Star Trek.
