How CBS Studios & Paramount TV Studios Are Divvying Up Streaming Series Slate: From ‘Reacher’ & ‘Cross’ To ‘Murderbot’ & ‘Clueless’
The new, post-Skydance merger Paramount has two major TV studio units: the existing CBS Studios, led by David Stapf and overseen by Paramount Chair of TV Media George Cheeks, and the newly formed Paramount TV Studios, headed by former Skydance TV President Matt Thunell and overseen by Dana Goldberg, Co-Chair of Paramount Pictures and Chair of Paramount Television.
...
Meanwhile, two streaming series originally developed by the former [Paramount TV Studios] that CBS Studios took over after the former’s demise — Apple TV+’s Murderbot, renewed for Season 2, and the upcoming Little House On the Prairie for Netflix — will remain at CBS Studios, as will CBS Studios’ homegrown streaming projects including the Star Trek universe on Paramount+.
This is barely Star Trek-related news, but we now have confirmation that the franchise will remain under CBS Studios (which is pretty much the only division that hasn't had a change in management under the new regime).
With that bit of business out of the way, the next step will be for them to make a decision on the renewal of the Secret Hideout deal, which is set to expire next year.
Is there information where the Skydance television production will go?
Is that with the Paramount side?
It wouldn’t make sense to have three television/streaming production arms.
Yeah, I think the new Paramount TV Studios is basically the Skydance studio, renamed - the Old Paramount shut down their version of Paramount Television Studios about a year ago.
