I saw someone on Reddit wondering why the community was so sure of Trek going dark again with Paramount not doing so well financially. Seeing the response was unfortunate as most people feel that it might be a bad time for Trek. And I guess it makes sense with the Hollywood strikes as well.
But I was curious what Lemmy thought. Maybe im in denial too but I’m curious if you guys think the worry is warranted.
Even if Paramount+ collapses, “Star Trek” as a franchise will be fine. They’ll just revert to the more traditional model of producing shows and selling them to someone else to distribute.
I’m not sure the currently in-production shows would survive that sort of shift, but the franchise would boldly go on.
