newly-confirmed fifth season will run for six episodes
remember when seasons were a season long
-
Making things is expensive, you know? Small content creators like Disney and Paramount always struggle so much in that brave new world of the internet... 😢
-
Unless the episodes are 90 mins long
-
Nah, they are going to be 35 minutes hour long episodes!

To be replaced with what? SNW was (is, for the time being) a great show and the torchbearer of the franchise IMO. For a time it looked like Paramount was finally righting the ship with SNW and LD, but now they’re both gone and they’re back to putting out dross like Section 31?
-
Paramount isn't doing so good atm, so I'd prepare for another ST drought unfortunately
-
Something that follows the terran empire's version of section 31.
Or an unironic version of Pog and Dar: Cop Landlords.
Or "Tribbles! You like tribbles!"
-
Di you expect it to run forever? Sometimes stories are just done and told, dragging them.out would just hurt them.
-
That seems a good take if the show runners were making the call, but it sounds like it's not their call.
Also maybe if the viewership declined, but now is an odd time since they haven't had new releases to gauge viewership.
Sounds like either they have some other shiny things to direct money to or are suffering from lack of subscribers, perhaps in part due to not having a whole lot of new popular content.

-
By ST Academy of course, are you not hyped by a whole new generation???
-
-
So 46 episodes in total. Could have at least made it 47. 🙄
-
I was looking for a point to cancel Paramount+. I guess I found it.

-
Contracts and budgets.

Bummed that it’s only six episodes but at least they can wrap up storylines, really hope we get a few more seasons of Prodigy as well.
-
STD, and picard wasnt better off as far as quality goes. snw is just a step above them, no match for pre-jj abrams.

It's a bummer, but then Pike's story has an end we've been approaching. Albeit, it was something like 10 years total before his destined disaster, so there could have been a few more stories to tell. At least they have some time to try and wrap things up.
I'd rather them end cleanly with a clear story ending, than to continually stretch it out passed its welcome.
That may be true in general, but it's not a hard and fast rule. Do you really think Lower Decks was all tapped out? Another season or two would inevitably see them jumping the shark?
I get why seasons make more sense with 6-12 eps than 24, but I don't see why the number of seasons needs to be shorter as well.
I'm just bummed that the Trek I love most is coming to an end. I have absolutely loved everything about it, even the musical episode (unpopular opinion, I know, but I was a theater kid). I would have adored 7 seasons and 3 movies, but I get that we knew the ending before it started.
