CBS boss Leslie Moonves insists the risk of the new Star Trek TV series reboot for CBS All Access is “small” given the “exceedingly” good performance of past seasons on the digital platform.
He told THR:
“All the series have done well in terms of streaming. Added in to that, Star Trek is a huge international franchise. Our international distribution guy is going crazy; he can’t wait to get out to the marketplace and sell that. Right away, we’re more than halfway home on the cost of the show from international alone. The risk is small in seeing the track record. We think it’ll be great and bring in a lot more subscribers. We’re really excited about it.”
“A lot of conversation went into what we were going to do [with Star Trek]. All Access is very important.
All of which bodes well for future seasons of new Star Trek beyond the upcoming 2017 release (assuming the reboot delivers), though of course the proof is the renewal pudding…
