## Resource

The cancellation of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy and Wes' speculation about the future of Star Trek. On March 23, 2026, shortly after the season finale of the first season of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy , news came that Paramount+ is cancelling the series after the recently-shot second season. To many who were against the series from the beginning, the news came as a relief. To many who enjoyed the series, they were devastated. In today's episode of Twin Cities Trekkies, Wes attempts to give his opinions about the cancellation, and what he thinks is going to happen to the franchise. STRICTLY OPINIONS HERE - what is said in this episode is purely Wes' opinions, and does not reflect the official opinions of Paramount, and the people making Star Trek.
