The arrival of the 727 episodes allowed a new generation of fans to relive classics like ‘The Original Series’, ‘The Next Generation’, ‘Deep Space Nine’, ‘Voyager’, and ‘Enterprise’.

The iconic science fiction saga, Star Trek, will bid farewell to Netflix on January 8, ending a presence that has lasted for nine years on the platform. Since its arrival in Spain in 2016, Netflix made it easier to access the classic series of the universe created by Gene Roddenberry, never before available continuously on national television. The arrival of the 727 episodes allowed a new generation of fans to relive classics like ‘The Original Series’, ‘The Next Generation’, ‘Deep Space Nine’, ‘Voyager’, and ‘Enterprise’.

Star Trek says goodbye to Netflix and Spain

However, the departure of these iconic series poses a dilemma for fans, as currently most titles are not available on SkyShowtime, the joint streaming service of Paramount and Comcast (NBCUniversal) in Spain. While more recent Star Trek content, such as ‘Star Trek: Discovery’, ‘Strange New Worlds’, ‘Prodigy’, and ‘Picard’, can be found on SkyShowtime, the classics could be left in limbo after leaving Netflix.

This change occurs in a context of tension between Netflix and Paramount, especially after Netflix’s acquisition of Warner Bros., which has complicated their relationship. While Netflix was crucial for the relaunch of the Star Trek brand and its international distribution, Spanish users now face uncertainty about where they will be able to binge-watch their favorite series after January 8.

The series ‘Starfleet Academy’ is expected to arrive soon on SkyShowtime, which offers some hope for fans. However, the question remains about what will happen to access to the classic episodes, leaving many wondering if they will lose the option to enjoy these productions at their own pace. As events unfold, Star Trek fans will have to stay tuned for updates on streaming platforms.

The Star Trek fan community has expressed its skepticism and discontent regarding the recent trailer for Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, which is shaping up to be one of the most different productions in the saga. Many fans have compared the approach of the new series to teen dramas, calling for a return to the classic essence that characterizes the franchise. The negative comments have been emphatic, with opinions stating that the series feels like “a sensation of living in space.”

A very different series within the franchise

Despite the general discontent, the return of the Emergency Medical Hologram character, played by Robert Picardo, has generated positive expectations. This character, who captivated fans during Star Trek: Voyager, is one of the few elements that seems to resonate favorably with a portion of the audience. However, many question whether this return will be enough to attract viewers in a context that some consider deviated from the saga’s roots.

Starfleet Academy, which will premiere on January 15 on Paramount+, will focus on the lives of Starfleet cadets, exploring their friendships and rivalries in an iconic setting of the galaxy, set after the events of Star Trek: Discovery. The series aims to capture the attention of both classic era fans and new audiences, a goal that is undoubtedly testing the identity of the franchise.

In addition to Starfleet Academy, the fourth season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is anticipated with a more serious approach, moving away from the comedy present in previous episodes. Although the release date has not yet been confirmed, the new approach promises emotional adventures aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise. In a context where Paramount seeks to better position itself in the market following a possible merger with Warner Bros., more Star Trek productions are expected to be announced to satisfy both classic fans and newcomers.
