Is there information where the Skydance television production will go?
Is that with the Paramount side?
It wouldn’t make sense to have three television/streaming production arms.

My brain isn’t firing on all cylinders today.
Yes it’s Michelle Hurd who played Raffi.
Also, yes I am bitter that Ro Laren was killed off and even more ticked that Picard played it as though there had been a romantic tension between them rather than a mentor-mentee one.
And it sounds as though Paladin in Vision Quest will be another version of the same character but as a Mandalorian analogue.
Tawny as the principal character as well as co-creator and EP is very interesting.
The fact that she’s been able to state publicly that she would be the lead suggests that the proposal was as advanced as it could be until the new ownership and team could make decisions.
Setting it in the late 24th to early 25th century will also provide the kind of ‘legacy’ opportunities that many Berman-era fans and actors are hankering for while satisfying the apparent executive demands that legacy characters be included for marketing purposes.
Frankly, having legacy characters come to a single planet would be a lot less unrealistic than Matalas’ concept of having the Enterprise G travelling around to visit legacy characters and locations. Production costs and staging would be manageable.
If this is intended to run as a true 22-30 minute comedy, I really hope that Paramount’s streamer greenlights an initial double season as Netflix does. It really takes about 8 episodes for a half hour show to take off.
Star Trek Prodigy is the sequel to Voyager.
It’s not just for kids, although intended for a family audience.
Given that there is almost no French language dub options on Paramount+, it’s good on one hand to know that Ellison is aware that lack of ‘localization’ is a significant barrier.
As a regular viewer of shows produced in other languages, do I think that an AI translation subtitles would get me watching more Paramount+? — not likely. Certainly not if it was a matter of AI generated dubbing.
One of the reasons that I watch most dubbed shows in French rather than English is that the quality of the dubbing and the translations are usually much higher in French.
It’s not just enough to have subtitles or a dub, the quality of these is make or break. I’m impressed that Netflix lists the dubbing actors by name for each language in the credits. That’s taking ‘localization’ seriously!
Efficiencies and synergies according to the messaging but it could mean AI given references to harnessing Silicon Valley is the $ 2 billion reference in the article.
$16 million is given as the out of court settlement for the 60 minutes suit.
At a certain point, I realized that from another perspective, the big divide seems to be between those who see continuous distributions as just an abstraction of a world that is inherently finite vs those who see finite steps as the approximation of an inherently continuous and infinitely divisible reality.
Since I’m someone who sees math as a way to tell internally-consistent stories that may or may not represent reality, I tend to have a certain exasperation with what seems to be the need of most engineers to anchor everything in Euclidean topography.
But it’s my spouse who had to help our kids with high school math. A parent who thinks non Euclidean geometry is fun is not helpful at that point.
Given Ellison was a producer on Into Darkness, and has recurrently cited Star Trek in the listings of legacy properties in documents related to the merger, I expect that the CEO will micromanage the franchise for good or ill.
Beyond the fact that I don’t see Cheeks or Goldberg staying more than 18 months, based on typical merger transitions, I can’t see Ellison leaving Star Trek in his management.
I’m wondering about the information that one of Co-CEOs is staying on in another role. Can you provide a source?
This Variety article says:
Tom Ryan, president and CEO of Paramount Streaming, and Mike Ireland, president of Paramount Motion Picture group, also stepped down this week.
Fair enough. I mentioned Marcelle as they have truly been the hypoallergenic North American brand for a half century. One used to only see their line at compounding pharmacies.
Single ingredient lines are very difficult, or even ones that just exclude the top allergens. There have been some smaller Canadian lines, but they seem to come and go - or like Ilia, a originally Canadian brand manufactured in the EU, they go big and move their head office to the US.

My spouse felt commemoratively inspired and asked me to post.
(It’s the Eaglemoss Kelvin D-7. The peony petals just did their own thing.)
It’s confirmed but after a second read, I think that’s clear.
Interesting that Skydance Studios television, which was a prestigious brand, will sublimate under the Paramount Television Studios name. It does show a certain commitment to the merger on David Ellison’s part.
