Loved this show and my kids did too. Ripping it off the platform is a bad precedent, and one I hope Paramount comes to regret.

I just began watching Prodigy, and thank you for making such a charming addition to the TrekVerse Aaron Waltke

Don’t get it. I thought Paramount owned Star Trek why isn’t it on P+?

I get Nickelodeon was involved.

Paramount+, the streamer, doesn’t want it on their platform, for whatever reason.

CBS Studios, the production house, wants to sell it to a different platform.

They’re both subsidiaries of Paramount Global, but they have different priorities.

That is strange but thanks for the explanation.

for whatever reason.

Paramount wants it off everything and out of production so they can practice the dark art of tax writeoffs with its sacrifice. If they aren’t selling it or streaming it anywhere, they can claim it as a business loss.

CBS Studios has remained committed to finding a new distributor for the show and is finishing postproduction work on the new episodes.

This is good to hear. Their optimism is encouraging.

I wish the first season was still streaming somewhere.

I’m still boggled that they pulled it to write it off.

Great to see the event getting amplification in major industry media.

User flair is unfortunately not a thing on Lemmy, but this is as good a time as any to confirm that we have independently verified that OP is Aaron J. Waltke, writer/producer of Star Trek: Prodigy.

Going to chime in then and say: THANK YOU!!

Prodigy is an amazing show. I hope it finds a home soon. I just recommended it to my 80 year old father. My wife and I just about died with happiness rewatching season 1 recently. All around, the best Trek in years

I cannot wait for season 2, let’s make it so!

GoodAaron OP ,

On behalf of the team — Thank you!

LLAP you have our full support

I've seen a couple of episodes and I like it so far. it's kinda douchey of them to take it off of streaming like that.
