Not long after Paramount+ confirmed Star Trek: Starfleet Academy will end with its second season, signs are already pointing to the production shutting down for good.
Trek Central posted on X that sets for the series are now being taken down, with a crew member saying teams are already derigging the studio space. Trek Central also said a local online auction is scheduled for Friday for pieces from the set.
The image making the rounds appears to back that up, showing the large Academy set in the middle of being dismantled. With the set being taken down, that obviously also means the set won’t be used for any related or spin-off series.
Sets coming down after Paramount+ ends the series
This follows the recent news that Star Trek: Starfleet Academy has been canceled and will wrap with Season 2, which is already in post-production.
The official announcement and trade coverage in March confirmed the second season will be the last, so the set teardown now looks like the next step in closing the book on the series.
That also adds more weight to the idea that this wasn’t some last-minute pause. If the sets are already coming down and auction pieces are already being lined up, it looks like Paramount is fully moving on.
No word yet on what replaces it
What comes next for Star Trek on the TV side still hasn’t been announced by the new Paramount owners.
David Ellison’s August 2025 letter after the Skydance merger talked broadly about reshaping Paramount, investing in high-quality storytelling, and making tougher calls about where the company sees future opportunity, but it did not lay out a specific television roadmap for Star Trek.
So at least for now, there is no official replacement series or new streaming plan on the table publicly tied to the end of Starfleet Academy.
The Ellison and Skydance era has talked up new Star Trek movies
While there has been no clear announcement yet about what is next for Star Trek on Paramount+, the new regime has made it known that Star Trek still matters on the movie side.
In August, reports out of Paramount’s new leadership presentation said David Ellison called Star Trek one of the studio’s top film priorities alongside Top Gun and World War Z.
Then in November, trades reported that Paramount hired Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley to write, produce, and direct a new Star Trek movie, signaling that the franchise is still alive theatrically even as the streaming side gets trimmed back.
