Does this mean it's not showing in theaters on release, only on Paramount+? That's a strange decision. I assume they're hoping new people will sign up for Paramount+ to see it, but showing it in theaters could get a lot of new people interested in star trek who then might be motivated to sign up and check out the shows.

Also I was looking forward to seeing it on the big screen. Oh well.

I just watched a fascinating documentary on Star Trek and they talked about how paramount kept trying to launch their own network on the back of Star Trek as it's cash cow and how they kept failing because it was all they had on it and not enough viewers.

Problem solved by making all the different kinds of shows into Star Trek, I guess, but how are they going to grow a fan base if it's all locked behind a paywall that only people who already love it will pay to get through?

You're talking about the old UPN network?

And now Paramount+. Even now their strategy seems to be to fill it with Star Trek and wait for the cash to roll in.

Yeah, this one has always been slated as a Paramount+ exclusive.
