Paramount+ Is Officially Leaving Sci-Fi Behind for a New Genre Franchise After Latest Cancellation

It's been a time of big headlines for Paramount with its purchase of Warner Bros. Discovery. However, it hasn't been all good news from the studio, especially if you're a Star Trek fan. Earlier this week, Variety confirmed that Star Trek: Starfleet Academy has been canceled after two seasons. This marks the latest end of a Star Trek spin-off in what feels like a bigger transition away from sci-fi. If you're wondering why Paramount would give up on such a popular IP, it might be because it's having tremendous success with another popular franchise.
