The good news is that CBS picked up CIA for a second season. And it was a long road to get there. Dick Wolf’s latest drama, which stars Tom Ellis and Nick Gehlfuss, lost showrunners and cast members before the premiere, which was delayed almost a year. However, enough people are watching, so the network is staying with it.
Meanwhile, Paramount+ recently picked up Star Trek: Starfleet Academy for a second season, only to announce today it will be its last.
“We’re incredibly proud of the ambition, passion, and creativity that went into bringing ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ to life,” CBS Studios and Paramount+ said in a joint statement to Variety. “The series introduced audiences to a bold new group of characters, welcomed familiar faces, and expanded the ‘Star Trek’ universe in exciting new ways. We’re grateful to Alex Kurtzman, Noga Landau, Gaia Violo, and the entire cast and crew who pushed storytelling boundaries in the spirit of Gene Roddenberry’s vision. We look forward to sharing the upcoming second and final season with everyone, and continuing to celebrate the cast, crew, and all that was accomplished with this series.”
Which network do you think made the right choice?
