Things are still uncertain when it comes to Paramount's recent merger with Skydance, particularly when it comes to the ongoing Star Trek series. The streaming movie era seems to have died, which we've covered in our list of the worst moments of 2025, but David Ellison arrived with a clear message: Star Trek is a priority going forward.

Paramount is in charge of high-profile IP like Transformers and Mission: Impossible, so one could have been forgiven for fearing that, as wonderful as Star Trek is to its fanbase, it may not be the billion-dollar beacon of interest for the new bosses. They have, however, been very clear about the fact that they want it to continue and to grow.

We've already mentioned the new film that's on the slate, and Ellison has been vocal about wanting to up the number of theatrical releases from Paramount under his tenure. What, then, of Trek's streaming wing? We are sure that there will be some people considering the end of streaming movies (at least in terms of being a focus) worthy of an entry here. Rather than focus on the negative, let us instead focus on the fact that the company has now received a space station's worth of money. 

Star Trek does best on the small screen, and with successful series like Yellowstone and NCIS already running, or coming to an end, Star Trek is an established name with an established base. It seems only logical to begin to consolidate it, build it, and even greenlight new series. While everything is still unclear, there could be a silver lining in the creation of Paramount: A Skydance Corporation - it could lead to more Trek than ever before.
