Entertainment News #31: Actors' Strike and Star Trek: Prodigy


- SAG-AFTRA released a statement this morning stating talks have stalled with the AMPTP. It's disappointing to hear that the Actors' Strike has hit a little bump. I do hope they will eventually reach a good deal because actors along with all the others who bring stories to life: writers, directors, hair and makeup, production, etc. should be able to make a living doing their job. They shouldn't have to deal with receiving terribly low residuals (if they receive any at all) as well as the threat of A.I. being used to take away their jobs. I can understand why they would want to strike because they should get a better contract. The AMPTP already have deals with the Directors and Writers why are they stalling on the Actors?




- There's some really good news for us Star Trek: Prodigy fans. Back in June, Paramount Plus had cancelled and removed the animated series despite that it had been renewed for a second season. At the time, the company that created the show had announced that the second season was in post-production. And that they were trying to find a new channel or streaming service for it. And it appears they did because the show will now air on Netflix sometime later this year and the second season next year. I'm really glad this show was able to be saved, it's so good. And how the first season ended, I can't wait to see how the young crew will do now that they will be out there with the real Kathryn Janeway. And I want to see if Gwyn will accomplish her task and rejoin her friends. So, yes, I can't wait for this show to return.

Entertainment News #26: Cancelled Shows


Happy Saturday! Well, it's probably not so happy for those connected to these shows:

- It's disappointing to hear that the animated series Star Trek: Prodigy has been cancelled after one season by Paramount Plus. I really liked this show, it had a similar vibe to Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels. I find the cancellation really disappointing because the show was already renewed for a second season. So far, the only reason for the show being cancelled is that Paramount Plus is merging with Showtime and the streaming service has decided not to continue with the show.

To make matters worse, the show will be removed from the streaming service on Tuesday (June 27th). However, there is some slightly good news, the company that created Star Trek: Prodigy announced that the second season is in post-production. And they will try to find a new channel or streaming service for it. Star Trek: Prodigy isn't the only show that's cancelled and removed by Paramount Plus: Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies, Queen of the Universe and The Game can also be added to the ever growing cancelled shows list.





- NBC has cancelled the rebooted Magnum P.I. after five seasons. The show will officially end after the last 10 episodes air for the upcoming second half of the fifth season. Magnum P.I. was already saved once when NBC picked it up after the show had gotten cancelled by CBS after the fourth season.

Although, I never watched Magnum P.I., I knew the show had a pretty good following which is probably why NBC picked it up. But maybe after moving to a different network, the viewers didn't follow, who knows?
