So a half season + a one-hour series finale?
Having only 5 seasons seems the new normal since they haven’t been able to actually produce one season per calendar year and actors’ contracts run 7 years.
But having a short season seems weird, like some kind of negotiated compromise.
This is just going to feed the ‘Kurtzman is done when his contract expires …’ speculation.
I mean, I think the Kurtzman era has been quite successful, but he's had the job for quite a while now. It's possible he'll choose to move on once his contract is up.
But yeah, with Paramount in such a state of upheaval...nothing surprises me any more.
I’ve been hearing about how Kurtzman is days away from being fired since Discovery’s first season. If he does choose to step down, there’ll still be no convincing those people that he wasn’t forced out in disgrace.
Oh, absolutely.
