Star Trek could become the next Marvel with the CBS-Viacom merger

Deadline

The newly formed ViacomCBS could pave the way for even more Star Trek projects. "With no lingering licensing barriers, the lucrative property created by Gene Roddenberry is now under one ownership for the first time since Star Trek: Enterprise came to an end in 2005," according to Deadline's Dominic Patten and Geoff Boucher. They add: "As CBS All Access heads towards launching the much hyped Star Trek: Picard next year, the Trekverse may now be poised for an intensified expansion." ALSO: ViacomCBS boasts it has 140,000 series episodes and “more than 750 series currently ordered to or in production.”
