It will bomb and be canceled.

Alex Kurtzman will serve as executive producer for the new Star Trek TV series. Kurtzman co-wrote and produced the blockbuster films Star Trek (2009) with Roberto Orci, and Star Trek Into Darkness (2013) with Orci and Damon Lindelof. Both films were produced and directed by J.J. Abrams.

Unlike the films which can rake in money from $15.00 movie tickets, TV shows have to be "liked" by the viewership in order for it to be successful on TV. These NuTrek movies are NOT that well liked. They are persona non grata at Trek conventions (as is Abrams himself). There is no rabid fandom forming around the new characters or the new films. I hope it tanks. I would rather have no Trek at all than this crap.

I only needed to see Trek 2009 and STID to come to that conclusion. :) I am not excited or thrilled or happy about this announcement AT ALL. As soon as they announce the title of the show, I want to buy the domain _________sucks.com and open a hate site for it. :(

The show is not going to be on CBS Broadcast, on CBS digital. If you pay 6.00 a month you can watch the new trek.

P.....PAY???

I will illegally download the first episode, and any others I want to watch and revel in my criminal behavior. Then, I will feel the orgasmic pleasure of power when I right click and DELETE them from their existence on my hard drive. :biggrin: :P

I will wait before I give it the same fate that defiance got. I did read that it's not going to follow the current star trek universe though.

The new Star Trek series will be produced by Alex Kurtzman and Heather Kadin.

Kurtzman worked on the two reboot films, 2009's Star Trek and 2013's Star Trek Into Darkness; Kadin's credits include the dramas Scorpion, Sleepy Hollow and Limitless.

The new television series is not connected to the film series, so it would presumably feature a new starship and crew.

"There is no better time to give Star Trek fans a new series than on the heels of the original show's 50th anniversary celebration," the president of CBS Television Studios, David Stapf, said.

"Everyone here has great respect for this storied franchise and we're excited to launch its next television chapter."

I don't have a problem with paying for content as long as it's reasonably priced. I pay for all my content. It just seems fairer that way. However, what really annoys me is that they have made this US exclusive, which is what really off putting and will drive many others that aren't in the US to getting it illegally. I was right about this though - all these companies will start their own streaming services to compete with Netflix, hulu, and amazon giving people way too many choices.

Heather Kadin's work:

Nothing remotely close to science fiction in there. THIS SHOW WILL SUCK. There is no way it will be successful.

And it's premiere is merely 14 or so months away--that's sooner then the slew of SW's films on the way!

No info on whether it will be JJ's vision or follow along where the descendants of TOS left of.

I am wishing for the latter :teapot:

https://tvline.com/2015/11/02/star-trek-new-tv-series/

NEITHER of those two things. If you want to see things where TOS left off, your only choice is Star Trek Continues and it is excellent and on par with broadcast TV.

This.....thing. They are going to go with the style from 2009 and STID (cause hey, they created that anyway). And then this uber-fantasy chick named Heather is going to co-produce. Im puking now.

Yong's original title for his thread had "Yipee" and "Yay" in it (indicating happiness).
