This is such a uniquely bizarre bummer. WHY would they remove the show from the platform? I seriously don't understand that at all. Cancelling it, while a terrible move, at least has some potentially extant reasons - but it's literally a new Star Trek show and they're removing it from Star Trek's home? I seriously don't get it!
It's the new game all the studios are playing where they remove content they don't deem popular enough to avoid paying any residuals. Zaslav started it with (HBO) Max and now Disney and the others are all following suit.
They think that whole "home of Star Trek" was marketing fluff, but I took it as a promise.
I should have known better, but I did too. Shame on me for thinking Paramount actually cared for Trek passed how much it makes them.
This kind of bullshit is part of why the writers are on strike. The studios barely pay the workers for streamed shows but they'd rather not pay them at all.
From what I've heard they can save money on their taxes if they claim the show as a loss, but to do that they need to take it off P+ so there can be no doubt that it isn't making a profit.
So basically the government is paying them to delete content.
