Star Trek's huge financial success can only be ironic. "Old Trek", after all, takes place in post-capitalist utopia, where money has become a thing of the past and wants to be heavily defeated. Resource reaction is easy in the world of Star Trek, as they have faster than lightweight stars that can bring medical materials to the sick, and the replica of matter can immediately create food and clothing for hungry and cold. Here on Earth in 2025, however, Star Trek producers roll in Latinum with gold. The omnipresence of the popular franchise across several streaming platforms has continued to generate huge amounts of revenue for Paramount, her Holding company, for the last few years.

The wrapper applied (through Parrot Analytics Streaming Economics Platform) Star Trek has - from January 2020 to December 2024 - earned $ 2.6 billion worldwide.

It is worth remembering that Paramount earns earnings, in essence, two different Star Trek sources. The company streaming service, CBS All Access (later Paramount+) began in 2014 and brought a new series of subscribers in 2017 with The premiere of "Star Trek: Discovery", The first TV series "Star Trek" from the end of "Star Trek: Enterprise" in 2005. Paramount soon began to put all its eggs in the Star Trek bucket, launching five new Star Trek shows in the next five years (including "short trails", "Picard", "Lower decks", "Blue" and " Strange new worlds ”). It was a new Renaissance for the franchise, and the huge volume of new scientific adventures began to match that of Trek's most celebrated day.

But despite the fresh subscribers that Paramount has attracted with its new adventurous stars, the company is still earning revenue from repetitions of old schools. US $ 2.6 billion includes profitable Paramount licensing fees to other streaming services like Netflix. Paramount+ can nets new viewers with new paths, but many still fit into the adventures of Kirk, Picard, Sisco, Janeva and Archer.

We should remember that Star Trek is glorious with a stream. Although Paramount has its own streaming service in Paramount+, the company has never been shy to rent older "Star Trek" showing all and all eager owners. According to the chart for the "wrapper" report, Netflix makes up just under $ 200 million in Star Trek's profits, while Julu makes up just under $ 150 million. Premier Video has just earned a paramount about $ 220 million in Star Trek sales. The graph also shows that more and more people are coming to Star Trek all the time. Even a 38-year-old TV series like Star Trek: The Next Generation was guarded by viewers.

"Star Trek" has become ubiquitous in domestic video, because, strange, enough, Etnet Acksecson's wardrobe malfunction in Super Bowl XXXVIII. The Super Babel was broadcast by CBS, but a scandalous show was made by MTV, both owned by the media conglomerate. The follow -up scandal The 2004 nipple incident He inspired a very CEO and, ultimately, splitting into Viacom. Reminder: Viacom also owned Paramount, who owns "old Trek".

Split, in what they see as bureaucratic chaos, set the Star Trek TV with CBS and the rights of the movie with Paramount. To generate revenue with their TV shows, CBS began releasing Star Trek on DVD incessantly and, when Streamers became something, rented "Star Trek" on them as much as they could. "Star Trek" could be seen on Premier, Netflix, Julu and for any major service she would want. These CBS activities have maintained a lot of Star Trek very much in the public eye, inviting old schools and new discovery to see their favorite Starfleet adventures.

Just like in the 1970s, Star Trek advanced to repetitions. Money is constantly flowing.

Meanwhile, Paramount was only allowed to make "Star Trek" films. They responded to Split Viacom by licensing Star Trek from the CBS company and making a legally different movie "Star Trek" in 2009. It is a good thing that Trek plays around in parallel universes as often as he allowed Hey Abrams to create an alternative dimension for the company that was illegal.

In 2019, after Paramount+ was already something and CBS was already overseeing more new shows "Star Trek", Viamom finally merged againReturning the rights "Star Trek". No theater released films "Star Trek" have not yet been made by the reunion, but January 2025 has noticed the publication of the action thriller of Paramount+Star Trek: Depect 31. The film was not terribly well accepted, but it was the right film "Star Trek", the first of "Star Trek Beyond" in 2016. Movies and TV shows are now under the same umbrella, and Paramount can make a huge profit by renting huge "Star Trek" packages of streamers.

Larger streaming packages were probably more attractive to Paramount than those the company had to agree to return in the 1990s. As early as 1994, "Old Trek: The Next Generation" ended. This was strange because the show was still rating bonase. According to the then executive producer Rick BermanHowever, it became harder and harder to sell "next generation" to local TV stations, as the stations would have to agree to repeat each episode many times. With seven whole seasons on an increasingly expensive show, less and less TV stations wanted to make that time dedication. After a while, continuing with NextGen was simply not economically feasible.

However, with streaming, everything is on request, and time limitations are no longer worried. Now, Paramount could split along with multiple Trek emissions and sell them to follow -up content for content. And they did.

When it comes to newer performances "Star Trek" - especially "Star Trek: Discovery" - can be directly pointed to Netflix for its success. Back when the series was still filming, CBS reached an agreement with Netflix allowing stream be the exclusive distributor of the show abroad. The deal reached $ 6 million to $ 7 million per episode, which covered the costs made to make the series. "Discovery" may have been criticized by old schools, but CBS was in the series, releasing it everywhere. Like the old school "Star Trek", Trek's new shows have benefited from being everything, everywhere, all at once.

Netflix continued to finance the "discovery" in a similar way for the first three seasons, allowing CBS to play with the franchise. With so many of its costs be offset, Star Trek can remain fruitful. It would not be by 2020 and the re -set of a viamom that Paramount would announce that it could handle international distribution by itself. However, thanks to Netflix, Paramount+ became a bigger player in the streaming wars, so the move was hard to stupid. It did not hurt the fact that Paramount also had hits with "Yellowlston" (and his spinoff) and continued to earn money from Spongebob Squarepants.

From this writing, Paramount is to merge with Skydance MediaMerging set to take effect on March 20, 2025. Many of the recent performances "Star Trek" have been canceled (only "strange new worlds" remains), and the future of the franchise looks smaller than it was during the early CBS, all days of access. Despite the financial problems for Paramount as a whole, however, Star Trek continues to go. So don't feel bad when you watch the "Deep Space Nine" episode for the fourth time. You will probably make sure that Star Trek will continue.
