Paramount Plus is joining Warners/HBO/Max in the axing of programs. It’s also wiping them from their streaming service.
Despite being in “Star Trek” game for 50 years, Paramount is canceling the animated “Star Trek Prodigy” after one season. The producers were renewed for Season 2, but that’s not happening. And “Prodigy” is being wiped from the Paramount Plus platform.
Other shows cancelled include “The Game,” “Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies,” and “Queen of the Universe.” They’re also being wiped from the system.
I don’t understand this rush to erase shows that have already aired, from a digital system. They’ve been paid for, and can exist for eternity taking up no space.
All four shows will be shopped by CBS Productions to other platforms. In the case of “Prodigy,” that might be the first time a “Star Trek” show went to another network. Doesn’t that defeat the whole branding thing?
