The most progressive sci-fi series, "Star Trek: Starfleet Academy," will be canceled by CBS Studios and Paramount+, prompting actress Gina Yashere to demand that the show's lore become more "woke". The series was supported by studios by Paramount+ and was initially picked up for a second season before the show aired, but it was not viewed favorably by audiences. Yashere, who played Lura Thok, stated that future iterations of the show must avoid becoming too white and that the message of love, peace, infinite diversity, acceptance, and avoidance of violence and senseless wars was not received well. Despite this, both CBS and Paramount have stated they are proud of the series' progressive ideology and will not receive a third season.
