Is Paramount/Skydance’s “Trek Lives Here” Trailer a Positive Sign?

Paramount+ and Skydance recently released a heartwarming trailer titled “Trek Lives Here,” celebrating the 60-year history of Star Trek on screen. The montage features beloved heroes from various TV series and films, showcasing the diverse eras and timelines of the franchise.

While Paramount+ has been a consistent home for live-action Star Trek TV shows, including classics like The Original Series and newer additions like Discovery and Picard, the streaming rights for Star Trek films remain fragmented. This has led to uncertainty about the future accessibility of these movies on Paramount+.

Interestingly, the “Trek Lives Here” montage includes snippets from iconic films like “First Contact” and “Star Trek,” hinting at a potential shift in how Paramount might handle the streaming rights for these movies. However, one notable absence from the montage is Prodigy, a series that has faced its own share of uncertainty in terms of its streaming home and future.

Overall, the trailer serves as a reminder of the rich legacy of Star Trek and its enduring appeal to fans. It’s a nostalgic journey through the history of the franchise, featuring familiar faces and moments that have shaped the beloved sci-fi universe. As we look ahead to the future of Star Trek on Paramount+ and beyond, “Trek Lives Here” offers a promising glimpse of what’s to come for this iconic series.
