After a break, the Star Trek franchise is returning to Netflix. The global streamer has picked up the animated kids series for the U.S. and most international territories in a deal with CBS Studios…
But it seems clear at this point that Paramount believes that it’ll be able to make a return on its investment, so it’s just a matter of where the show eventually lands, not if the new season gets created.
Unless they do like WB did for Batgirl, and shitcan the entire thing permanently after production is complete, for a tax write-off.
Just as a TV network “cancels” a series by deciding not to order/air it, Netflix could do the same. Theoretically.

To be clear, I was being completely hypothetical. It makes no sense for Netflix to cancel something they literally just bought.
