That article speculates that elements of Paramount (including CBS Studios, which produces Trek these days) could be sold off to other companies, perhaps even Netflix. This, however, doesn’t get into the hairy discussion surrounding rights to the franchise.
How credible is this source?
I really hope what’s going at Paramount doesn’t affect the other Trek shows negatively. We’re finally at a point where Trek is really good again.
Unfortunately, that’s not the only article talking about Paramount’s woes. Here’s another which suggests that Netflix may be looking to buy pieces of Paramount.
Here’s a source that quotes Business Insider. The Business Insider article is locked behind a paywall, but it is probably reasonably reputable.
That said, it just says that Netflix is “eyeing” a potential merger, not that there are concrete plans for it yet. They could just as easily change their minds.
