      Technically, they’re the ones giving us the second season (as in they’re still paying for production), but they’re not the ones streaming it.

      I still don’t get why they’re doing this.

        Paramount+, the streamer, cancelled it.

        CBS Studios, the producer, kept it going and found a new buyer.

        Two separate entities, even though they’re both subsidiaries of the same parent company.

        Apparently it’s a tax write off.

        It’s risky though because a) Star Trek is no longer all in one place b) if it’s a hit then Netflix benefit.
