franchise to five live-action and animated series for Paramount+. The company also recently producedAaron Baiers“Extending our valuable partnership with the brilliant Alex Kurtzman and Secret Hideout has been a top priority for CBS and Paramount+,” said George Cheeks, President and CEO of CBS.
The much higher value of the new six-year deal for Kurtzman and Secret Hideout than their previous one reflects a far more competitive talent marketplace. Overall deals for prolific top showrunners have gone up dramatically in the last few years, driven by streamers’ aggressive pursuit of A-list creators. Traditional studios have had to stepped up to secure their key producers, which CBS Studios has done with new overall deals for Kurtzman and fellow prolific creators Robert and Michelle King.
The pay increase also recognizes the success Kurtzman and Secret Hideout have had at the studio, making this an easy bet. “Alex and Secret Hideout have been extraordinary partners who, through their prolific output of high-quality shows, have allowed our studio to grow exponentially,” said David Stapf, President, CBS Studios. “Alex’s vision and breadth of interest is unmatched as he and his team have re-ignited thefranchise with five brilliantly unique series, while at the same time creating long-running hit series for both the Network and premium spaces.
Kurtzman’s relationship with CBS Studios dates back more than a decade; he co-created and executive produced the studio’s“CBS Studios has been my home for over a decade because the incomparable David Stapf always finds a way to demonstrate his decency and creative passion, not just for the work we do, but for the many people who do it,” Kurtzman said.
StarTrekOnPPlus This is the end of Trek.
Maybe ViacomCBS should have entrusted the StarTrek franchise to someone that actually knows something about it? StarTrekDiscovery is an abomination. I’m out.
Still time to torpedo the franchise more. Star Trek died after Enterprise.
StarTrekOnPPlus ParamountPics ParamountMovies paramountplus jjabrams bad_robot thank you eternally for deciding to make Star Trek 4 with the original cast & considering a series with the original cast! OMGOD a series with Chris and the gang. Can you say, 'Numbers off the charts'? 3 3
🤦🏻♂️
StarTrekOnPPlus Star Trek died a long time ago. This is just pissing on its grave. StarTrek trek StarTrekUniverse StartWreck RIPStarTrek
StarTrekOnPPlus Well that’s disappointing to hear. It amazes me that for all the money they spend on these shows the one thing they seem diametrically opposed to is intelligent writing that allows characters to breathe life into ideas. I’m not sure why this aspect of Trek is now ignored.
doomcock sources tell him in about 16 hundred years from now, he will fired.
Kurtzman is the problem with Star Trek. Fire him, fix Star Trek.
THIS IS ONE OF THE WORST THINGS TO EVER HAPPEN TO TREK.
StarTrekOnPPlus
Next week the Trek haters will be like 'Kurtzman has been fired because Trek plans are not working and there are no subscribers, no watches Trek'
Well that's ripped a hole in time and space.
WHY! He ruined Star Trek.
Since this is likely to be an unpopular move with a certain group of fans, I'll just extend to them an invitation:
A deal which that BackToEarthling made with demons from hell, and which we Enterprisers have to BREAK, and that PERMANENTLY.
StarTrekOnPPlus A very sad day. Failing upward continues. Let the Star Trek official wake begin.
StarTrekOnPPlus Watch all the hateful YouTubers come out and claim it's all publicity. Me as a fan will always love trek..
Six more years of shitty Startrek.
StarTrekOnPPlus Please, tell me its fake news…
These will be the final voyages of the franchise getting murdered into obscurity
Well good to know star trek ended for me with StarTrekNemesis StarTrekIsDead FireAlexKurtzman StopRewardingFailure
Star trek based social media teams after this was announced.
This is the worst Star Trek news of all time I am sick to my stomach
StarTrekOnPPlus
Probably the most depressing news I've read all weekend
Is this end of Trek?
What? And now all those youtubers that post hate videos saying he was fired 100 times will do now? Ah...they will keep doing it during all the 6 years he has left on the contract...
ViacomCBS is a company run by total morons! Not 1 cent, not 1 click they'll get from me!
This guy just keeps failing upwards.
Please...stop. Keep Kurtzmann away from Trek.
That’s it for me. I’m DONE. StarTrek is now officially a LOST CAUSE.
