Telly’s Take
Unless they decide to publicize viewership, it is often difficult to predict whether Paramount+ will cancel or renew a series. Since Paramount+ isn’t ad-supported, the execs can take a chance on the series they believe in but sooner or later it comes down to production costs, versus viewership numbers. However, it’s a different story when it comes to Star Trek — the cornerstone of the streaming service. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds has already been renewed for a second season and I have no doubt that it will be renewed beyond that. I’ll update this page with breaking developments.

Absolutely!! Anson Mount is the best Pike and close to the best captain on any ST I’ve ever seen. His approach to the part is completely different and thoroughly engaging. The writers had better do him justice: he’s a keeper!
I don’t have Paramont plus nor do I intend on getting it. I pay enough for TV programming.
