and Paramount Plus, has extended his exclusive overall TV deal with the ViacomCBS units through 2026.

Kurtzman is known for his agility in balancing multiple roles as creator, writer, producer, director and showrunner. Secret Hideout has planted its flag at CBS Studios since 2016, although Kurtzman has worked with the studio for more than a decade on such series as “Hawaii Five-0,” “Scorpion” and “Salvation.”

“Alex’s vision and leadership of the Star Trek franchise and his ability to create artistic and commercial series across all platforms put him in a special class of creative talent,” said George Cheeks, president and CEO of CBS. “His substantial accomplishments at CBS and the spirit of collaboration we enjoy with his team are greatly valued and we are excited to build on his already impressive slate far into the future.

Kurtzman has stayed busy outside of Star Trek content with a range of other shows and as a hands-on creator, showrunner and director. Upcoming projects include an adaptation of the cult-fave Walter Tevis novel “The Man Who Fell to Earth,” which Kurtzman is steering with executive producer Jenny Lumet. Lumet and Kurtzman are also teaming on a Lena Horne biopic series for Showtime . Secret Hideout is also developing a project about FBI stalwart Eliot Ness’ long pursuit of mob boss Al Capone.

Not good. Not good at all

Sad news

Please no

'You mean a YouTuber who pretends to be a robot living at the center of the Earth would lie to me about Star Trek? HOW CAN THAT BE?!'

Rewarding mediocrity.

Hostia, pero si es el comidista.

And Orci chose to be a conspiracy theorist instead

More bottom of the ratings shows then.

The Picard apology tour continues.

Modern star trek fans be like

Please stop ruining Star Trek. Just let it die.

Wow, that really wants to destroy a huge franchise, don't they? This woke nonsense had me tune out and cancel Paramount

Good, good. CRT rule will ruin both CBS and Disney. Disney stocks went down 1/8th since Gina Carano was let off. Well, free market will self regulate, and CRT will be darwined.

kurtzman needs to try another profession

What a huge mistake.

Lol. Star Trek fans pain continues.

Can’t be! Wasn’t he fired, like, three times in the last two years alone? Because he’s so horrible for the franchise? Also, all of his shows were cancelled! Twice! 🙃

Well that just ruined my weekend...

Failing up

When you havent quite killed it enough keep trying

lmao you serious bro

I'm guessing that somewhere in the StarTrek MirrorUniverse his shows are actually good.

Please god make it stop!

Fuck.

Why do they keep rewarding this hack?

same energy

Talk about being out of touch with your core audience...

but if they do that, we'll have more dog shit star trek shows!!!

This is great news, Alex Kurtzman is doing a great job producing fantastic Trek!

Oh fuck.

So basically a show that has the lowest ratings, these clever folks have decided to give it more airtime Haha yeah wont work fellas. Star trek fans arent as dumb as youd like to believe and wont just swallow any old shit with the star trek label

I’m sure this will result in nothing but good, positive news 🤣🤣🤣

Each day we stray further from God’s light

Fuck

The worst writer in the industry. Steals a living. Well, not really. Tricks morons into watching shite he writes. Actually, I respect that I think.

Goddamnit

Every day I beg god for death but my sins keep me alive

Hell yeah !

redlettermedia
