'Star Trek: Starfleet Academy' to End After Two Seasons on Paramount+

The series ends after two seasons due to low viewership despite an 87% critic approval rating, marking a rare cancellation in the Star Trek franchise.

  • Variety exclusively reported that Star Trek: Starfleet Academy will end with its upcoming second season, with Deadline confirming the news; the first season debuted in January and aired its finale on March 12.
  • The streamer decided to end the series after Paramount+ ordered a second season in 2023 but Starfleet Academy failed to rank on Nielsen's top 10 during its 10-episode first season.
  • The series drew notable talent including Sandro Rosta, Holly Hunter and Paul Giamatti, with an 87% Rotten Tomatoes critics score and production by CBS Studios, Secret Hideout and Roddenberry Entertainment.
  • With the cancellation, franchise plans face uncertainty as no Star Trek shows are in production while two seasons of Strange New Worlds await airing and Kurtzman's deal runs through 2026.
  • Co-Showrunners Alex Kurtzman and Noga Landau wrote that they are proud of the work seen in season two and thanked the 'hundreds of hardworking humans' who made the show.
