Star Trek: Starfleet Academy Wraps Production

The second season of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy completed production today for what is looking to be its final season. Its first season is currently airing on Paramount+ with season 1 finale coming in a few weeks. It should be noted that Paul Giamatti did not return for season 2 but is open to returning if there is a season 3. As of now, there are no new plans for future shows or seasons of any show for Star Trek. Plenty of rumors but nothing concrete. With Paramount executives focused on acquiring Warner Bros., long term planning is pretty much impossible right now as planning requires a budget and budgets are in limbo right now. No acquistion and suddenly have to plan for the future and will have the money to do that. Acquire WB and money is extremely tight as the merged company will have a debt load nearly equal to its value. Star Trek could be put back in storage as ratings have been declining and the online trolls keep getting louder. The focus will shift to HBO streaming as its a greater profit center compared to Paramount+. Its a mess and a mess that may not be sorted out for weeks if not months as latest news is a $31 per share offer is seriously being considered for a company that hovered around $19 a share for years. Its the definition of overpayment. Congrats to the cast and crew of Starfleet Academy. It was nice meeting you this season and personally I am looking forward to season 2.
