Comment on ‘Star Trek: Prodigy’ Finds New Home At Netflix After Paramount+ Cancellation

Correct me if I’m wrong but if anyone kills the show, wouldn’t it be Paramount? Netflix is just picking it up to stream on their service.

I know people have their issues with Netflix but I’m just relieved it’s not Peacock or some other service no one cares about.

Netflix is just picking it up to stream on their service.

Just as a TV network “cancels” a series by deciding not to order/air it, Netflix could do the same. Theoretically.

  But it seems clear at this point that Paramount believes that it’ll be able to make a return on its investment, so it’s just a matter of where the show eventually lands, not if the new season gets created.
  
  Unless they do like WB did for Batgirl, and shitcan the entire season permanently as a tax write-off.

    To be clear, I was being completely hypothetical. It makes no sense for Netflix to cancel something they literally just bought.
