Honestly, in most cases, studios should just guarantee 3 seasons because that's how long it takes to really find if a show will actually get any sort of following.

To be honest, I feel like streamers keep trying to gun for a The Office or Last Airbender level hit, but don't realize that those shows wouldn't have survived today under the current metric by which they evaluate a show's success. They ignore the whole point of streaming: a show should have more time to find success - potential fans will get to it when they get to it.

What are they going to do if season one flops?

[–] ShepherdPie@midwest.social 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Hopefully nothing because every first season of a new ST series is a flop.

Strange New Worlds season one was excellent

[–] data1701d@startrek.website 3 points 15 hours ago

I agree. DS9 season one honestly wasn't too bad (obviously not SNW season 1 caliber), though mainly because it didn't have a weird blackface episode.

[–] ShepherdPie@midwest.social 2 points 20 hours ago

That's true it was excellent and an outlier for the franchise.

"Prodigy" has demonstrated that they're willing to cancel something they gave an early renewal to.
