Comment on William Shatner And ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ Actors React To News Of Series Ending

It isn’t necessarily virtue signalling. A new ownership team tends to like having a fresh start on key properties. It comes at the right time, with Kurtzman’s contract up at the end of the year.

So if it had been popular would it have continued? Serious question, because it sounds like they weren’t going to continue SFA after season 2 in the first place.

There was a report posted elsewhere claiming that the viewership has been greater than expected but they still canceled it.

If it were a phenomenon then maybe it would have been continued, but Trek is expensive, and they don’t have Netflix paying for it these days.
I never got the impression it was a show that would stick around. Obviously it would be limited to 4 seasons anyway without replacing most of the cast, but I think it pretty much wrapped everything up in season 1.
