It looks like the upcoming Lower Decks season will be the last one 😭😭 I didn’t have any expectations for this show but it has quickly grown to be one of my favorites. I’ll miss it

      Last I heard it was up in the air whether or not Netflix would keep funding it.

        Did they also say they were ending SNW? You’re sounding like they’ve cancelled like the entire slate just to have this Starfleet Academy show.

          They have not, but do you really think it will continue past season 5?

            I don’t mind a planned finale.

            They’re definitely not going to just have the one show, if history repeats itself. TNG/DS9/VOY/ENT were all overlapping by a season or two each.

            I can’t imagine they’re going to just have a young adult show, a Michelle Yeoh Section 31 movie or whatever, and then nothing else. There’s definitely no way Prodigy is part of this plan, especially if Netflix is the one seeking to fund it. If three things are ending, then they have the production budget and staffing to produce three more different things. Star Trek is one of their most valuable IPs, it would be hilariously terrible if mismanagement led to it just totally floundering.

              I don’t think I have the faith in Paramount not self-sabotaging itself in a combination of desperation to get people to sign up for Paramount plus and saving money.

              Star Trek might bounce back eventually, but I think this era is likely coming to a slow stop.

                    It’s insane to think the creator of Family Guy is perfect to spearhead Star Trek but he made an entire three seasons worth of Fox-sponsored cosplay with Orville and fuck me if I didn’t love every bit of it.

                    If they kept it semi-in house, they could also bring up Mike McMahan. I think he’s the Dave Filoni of Star Trek.
