The future of Star Trek on TV is uncertain due to the series' first season finale and upcoming seasons of the series, Starfleet Academy, and Strange New Worlds. However, Alex Kurtzman, the current architect of Trek TV programming, has expressed optimism about the franchise's future on TV, stating that he has had discussions with Paramount Skydance about the future of the show. This follows Paramount's acquisition of Warner Bros, which could result in the merger of Paramount+ and HBO Max, creating one streaming platform.
