Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Star Trek executive producer Alex Kurtzman explains the process of how new Star Trek shows are greenlit and put into production at Paramount+. Kurtzman's Secret Hideout has been in charge of the Star Trek TV franchise since the launch of Star Trek: Discovery in 2017.
It's a communal conversation, meaning I talk to the head of the studio, David Stapf, who's been incredibly supportive from the beginning, from Discovery's launch. And then we go, and we talk to the Paramount+ folks, and we tell them 'Here's what we're thinking. In order to get to this show, we're going to need to start planning really two years ahead, which means you have to start putting things in development.' It's actually a small group of people.
We have a pattern budget which is the number that we want to hit for any given episode. Because our premieres and finales are typically larger, because we wanna launch with a bang and end with a bang, we just know that if we go over the pattern in the episode or in a particular area of the episode that in later episodes, we're gonna need to make that up. So it's really a matter of just making sure that we are diligent about that and keeping track along the way.
