The prospect of a Star Trek: Year One series following Paul Wesley's James Kirk is looking increasingly unlikely after reports that the sets of Strange New Worlds are being taken down.

is this a bad thing?
Good, we don’t need yet another show with Kirk and Spock, etc. In fact, with the way things are going, maybe its best if the franchise goes on a long break. Just put Star Trek on ice for a while, and give people a chance to miss it. Then someday bring in a brand new creative team (no Kurtzman).
I think they’re putting trek in the box again… but it’s not like anyone really agrees on what trek is right now.
I’d rather there be no star trek, than bad star trek.
We want Legacy!
Im increasingly liking that.
It’s a show about the future. stop digging into its past.
Honestly hard to tell which franchise has been driven into the ground the hardest–Star Trek or Star Wars.
Nobody is watching these show and they cost a fortune to make.
I wonder how much of this is related to the poor decisions made regarding Star Trek Academy.
It’s like someone was trying to destroy the ST universe …
Good.
This guy, sheesh.
I was hoping the potential new show would time jump a little and give us the stories between the end of TOS and the first movie.
But year one would have been good too. I wish so many things for Star Trek. Longer seasons. More exploring new worlds and meeting new civilizations.
It was never anything more than unfounded rumors.
Good, make something new and respecting the spirit and quality of the first 2 series.
Both Star Trek and Star Wars have been completely destroyed at this point. My hopes on the new Mass Effect show or maybe a Stargate reboot for Sci-Fi.
Signs don’t seem to be promising for either of those though sadly.
Yeah no shit. Kurtzman is done. SFA had 400,000 views total. The home shopping network has more viewers. I wouldn’t be shocked if they don’t even bother airing season 2. They were perfectly willing not to air Prodigy season 2 until Netflix stepped in.
Good. Nobody wanted TOS era programs to begin with. Obviously the IP needs to take a break and reset with people who actually like trek
There was never anything credible that indicated this show was in the pipeline at all
It’s dead, Jim.
I want something like a Farscape/Star Trek crossover or Babylon 5/Star Trek crossover
I just want a Morn, Quark and Garak show kind of like Space Ghost coast to Coast.
Good. End the Kurtzman era
I guess they figure Star Trek fans don’t buy subs.
Oh no, how will i watch adventures of a young james kirk now
I’ll just rewatch TNG anytime they put out whatever this current slop of Star Trek is
They’re I feel like Paramount is shutting all of it down so they can sell the IP. In my head cannon it’s easier to sell an IP when there’s no money going towards production of any show
Maybe the issue is that there is *too much Trek* at once? Oversaturation with “meh” shows, where you have to dig for the good ones might be weighing on people. They should go for a quality over quantity method, next time. I’m just taking a guess here.
As annoying as it is to constantly reboot stuff, “Year One” felt like more of a last-ditch attempt to continue *Strange New Worlds*, which I would’ve been on board with, if I’m honest. That was a show I more or less ignored when it first came out by assuming it was just nostalgia bait, but the good thing about “episodic” Trek imo is that they can tell good original stories with that kind of set-up too.
On the other hand, the third season of SNW wasn’t really up to the same standard as the first two, and while the showrunners have acknowledged this and claimed they were working to remedy those issues with the show’s final two seasons, we’ll have to wait and see if they manage it. Funnily enough, one of the bigger criticisms of the third season is that it focuses a bit too much on Kirk, at the expense of the show’s “original” cast (there’s only one “Kirk episode”, but he has a smaller role in a couple of others).
Still, it’s generally seen as a *significantly* better than the two Kurtzman-run shows or *Picard*, an opinion I’d personally agree with. I’m just hoping they’ll manage to end it on a satisfying note, and hopefully whenever they get around to making another show they’ll go for a similar format instead of the one the other live-action shows did.
