‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ to End With Season 2

So far, the only Trek show of the Kurtzman era to not be ended earlier than planned was Picard, which was always pitched as a three season series. Discovery was cancelled after season 5 while season 6 was being written, they had to reshoot their season finale into a series finale. SNW is ending with a shortened season to wrap it up, Lower Decks was cancelled before the completed fifth season could air, Prodigy Paramount tried to delist and write off completely.

I think this will be the end for this era of Trek

Maybe we can fire kurtzman next

How in the hell is Kurtzman clinging onto his job atp?

The thing I don't understand about this era of Star Trek is the unwillingness to course correct. No lessons have been learned throughout this whole failed experiment. It's just the same nonsense show after show. "You people don't like our vision for Star Trek? Well, too bad, because we're just gonna keep on givin' it to ya."

I enjoyed lower decks. I thought it was the best of all the shows so far, but that’s my hot take.

Lmao. sad because I’d love this IP to come back to its true powerhouse it was. But also happy because f*** Paramount, Ellison family and Alex Kurtzman. kurtzman is a POS and hope he’s fired.

So...Now boot Kurtzman, sheesh.

Man I really tried to get into that show but couldn't make it past a couple episodes.

Modern audience failed to show up again

I blame that Talaxian Fur-fly.

Good

Once again, The Orville stands as Star Trek's truest successor. Also Lower Decks.

So why should I watch it Paramount? To me, this is like S3 of Ducktails, if they cancel it prematurely, I’ll skip it.

That was fast. NuTrek has been absolutely god-awful. 

I know it's a common sentiment, but it has really been sad to watch the total destruction of a franchise by people who not only don't understand the appeal of the franchise but also seem to actively hate its fans. Picard was a spit in the face to TNG fans, it's like they were trying to piss us off. I don't understand it.

How the f*** is The Orville still the best "Trek show" in almost over a decade?!

Can't say I'm sorry to see it go. They've teased an Academy show for years, then when they finally do it it's not even the real Academy, just some reimagining of it way down the line, following on from a show that was divisive at best.

Good. It was awful. I stopped watching it to watch Discovery, which also became awful.

At least they get to write an ending for themselves. I wish that were the norm.

I wonder if all the gaslighting and astroturfing will stop now

Makes sense, my kid likes everything Star Trek and she hated this.

You can't take the sky from me Kurtzman, we'll always have 90s trek 

Here's to hoping Kurtzman's new deal keeps him MILES away from Trek. Spent way to much time going, "man, really?" at too many different points in Trek lately.

Man I just want to see a show around the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-J

We're canceling the show, but only after one more season! Mixed blessing

Good riddance. Show was absolutely awful.

Lolololololololololololololololol…but um…..it was supposed to appeal to new viewers. I was told I was just old and didn’t get it. What could have happened?

I am not a hater of what is sometimes called "Nu-Trek". I liked Prodigy, Strange New Worlds, the first two seasons of Discovery, and Picard Season 3. That being said, it really has been a complete miss over the past year with the Section 31 film and Starfleet Academy. I watched the first two episodes of Academy and it just wasn't for me. Too much melodrama and silliness (in my opinion).

Not surprising when they couldn't even copy the quote from The Drumhead right.  It was annoying when they kept showing people from Cheron but never explained how they survived.

how the hell does it get a 2nd season?

Please, god, take Star Trek away from corporate and give it back to the political science majors and the Shakespeareans. I don’t give a f*** about doomsday weapon plots I want to see actors thunder away about morality and the dignity of life.

Not a popular opinion on this subreddit, but I really liked the show and am sad it's been cancelled. I'm still on the lookout for a high quality replica of the varsity letter jackets.

Good it was such a shit show how I want TNG back in some form or another that is actually good.

I consider this a win, honestly. As much as I'm concerned about the future of Trek, this show, and most of the rest, did not understand their key audience, and chased after a new one with no idea how to appeal to young people.

“I ate my com badge!” Jesus Christ

It got a season 2!

It should.

They are financing another one ? Daaaamn 😳

Well atleast we have a Stargate revival to look forward to now while Trek rests for who knows how long.

Half a few month ago I was voted down massively cause i told the financial reasons: "So its clear there won't be any new series in particular after the takeover by Skydance and permanently loss making of all productions of the New Trek Era. The removal of Discovery, Lower Decks and Prodigy were clear signals to the shareholders to hold out until they could get rid of those responsible without suffering further losses. At least now all rights for TV and cinema are finally under one roof, which can only do the franchise good overall. I also bet Academy will be cancelled after the first or second season at the latest, as it is Paramount's last legacy. The ongoing contracts and production simply could not be stopped before without loss. But Ellison has already announced that the future of Star Trek is under him in the cinema only and that he sees the continuation of the Into Darkness era, which was already co-produced by Skydance or a realignment in the form of a full reboot of the franchise as the only future. And slowly I think it can only get better or would benefit the franchise more than the current irritations. After all, Skydance is known as a producer of Apple's top content such as Foundation, Amazon's The Expanse, or old classics such as Babylon 5, Dr. Who, Battlestar Galactica, or Stargate SG1 and Atlantis and even the x files."

While it got better toward the end, I'm surprised they got a S2.

Hopeful this means Kurtzman is being shown the door.

Should have ended with the pilot episode to the executives.
