It might not include Star Trek. In order to get those rights in the package, they would have to purchase Paramount itself. I think at this point, Paramount should consider selling the rights to Star Trek a la carte. Of course, that would open the possibility of Bad Robot buying it.
They might as well sell the franchise - it is not very valuable anymore. Sell it to a studio though not to a specific streamer - that way they can create content and license the content to multiple sources.
There is still a large base of people out there who like Star Trek. Sure, a lot of them are older people now, and most of them won't buy toys, but it's not all about toys. Even the older Star Trek shows will keep attracting new people, as long as those new people are made aware that Star Trek exists. This is because there are things that are unique about Star Trek, which people won't easily be able to find anywhere else. Once they get to know it, they'll be drawn in. There's a certain percentage of the population to which Star Trek is appealing, and that is not likely to change. And since the population of earth is ever growing, the amount of people to whom Star Trek is appealing is ever growing. These new shows that are being made, as much as you might not like them, will appeal to people who will become new Star Trek fans, and those fans will then get to know older Star Trek shows which they never were aware of before. It's either that, or the familiarity with Star Trek will slowly die as the older fans grow older and eventually stop caring or die. This is something that rather irks me when I read the negative comments about the new shows, the short-sightedness. You can't expect new (young people of today's world) people to just know about what's out there from before. And even if you tell them that those older shows are out there and that they're great, what do you expect the reaction to be? They'll be like fuck off grandpa, I got things to do. But if they get introduced to something that is modern and fits within the current world as it is, then they'll get interested, and that's when their horizon will broaden and they might be open to the older shows as well. To disavow the newer shows is therefore more or less the same as helping to kill Star Trek. But I'm sure the response to this logic will be that Star Trek is already dead and the newer shows are what killed it. To which my response would be, if you care enough about it to say that, then obviously Star Trek isn't dead, so that would negate your own argument.

paramount now has showtime
As long as the public like a show that is always potential for some type of monetary profit, they just need to age adjust as needed , but in this case, I don't think that is even an issue.
