Come to Quark’s, Quark’s is Fun!

General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.

This isn't quite related to Star Trek, but...maybe it will be soon?

The U.S. distributor also has a sharp focus on selling premium drama into second windows. The push is focused on the Paramount+ originals, which have their exclusive moment in the sun on the streaming platform and Paramount+ branded blocks around the world, before coming to market, after a holdback, in the second window.

The buzzed upcoming NCIS spin-off Tony & Ziva is a good example, as are existing shows like Tulsa King and Lioness.

“We are looking at second windows, that’s part of our message coming into London,” Kramer says. “People have been talking about second windows for some time. I think the difference now is we have started selling second windows on our so-called premium series.”

It'll be interesting to see if they start licensing Discovery, Picard, and Lower Decks to other streamers in the future.

I assume Prodigy will belong exclusively to Netflix for the foreseeable future.
