There is a rumor going around that because of various reasons, Viacom/CBS might sell The Trek franchise. That would mean no more "Discovery". or "Picard". It almos might mean that Kurtzman would lose his job.
So. Will Viacom/CBS sell the Star Trek franchises?

- Start date
I would not trust said rumors. Kurtzman was signed for a 5 year deal. Star Trek makes CBS/Viacom a lot of money.
Not going anywhere. Wishful thinking at best and deliberate misinformation at worst.

"..also mean..."
Deals can be broken ... Happens all the time. Viacom/CBS needs money to remain solvent, and to keep the merger intact. From what I understand, people are NOT buying the merchandise.
These rumors have been going on for years. I'll believe it when they announce it and not a minute before.

Kurtzman will stay and he will produce a lot more Star Trek.
And the source of your "understanding" is?
Pay no attention to the trolls at Red Letter Media, Nerdrotic, and Doomcock.
CBS/Viacom is not selling Star Trek (least of all to Seth MacFarlane
).
Finally! I get that Trek Cookbook I've wanted for years.
Your prayers have already been answered...

Why is it people who post these 'rumors' can never cite sources? Where are these rumors going around? What are their sources? Are there any beyond the fever dreams of haters and YouTube channels desperate for more clicks?
Source or it ain't happenin.'
And, just so you know, if you've kept up with any of the actual news about Trek, you'd know none of that is true. You do know that CBS has just announced a new Pike series, right?
Let's hope so.
Let's ask Elvis.
He's on his secret island, but don't worry. I know where it is.
I wonder what it would accomplish for them to sell it? First of all, it is an expensive property to assume ownership of. Secondly, there is no guarantee they will return to anything like whatever Trek people want.
Finally, if CBS is making money on Star Trek then they are more likely to make more Trek. Where is the harm again?
