This is such a uniquely bizarre bummer. WHY would they remove the show from the platform? I seriously don't understand that at all. Cancelling it, while a terrible move, at least has some potentially extant reasons - but it's literally a new Star Trek show and they're removing it from Star Trek's home? I seriously don't get it!

It's the new game all the studios are playing where they remove content they don't deem popular enough to avoid paying any residuals. Zaslav started it with (HBO) Max and now Disney and the others are all following suit.

That's the thing about residuals though. If it's not popular enough you don't have to pay anything. Unless it's a tax thing I can't see a downside to leaving it available.

Assuming it’s like the others then I believe they will treat it as an investment loss which allows them to take some percentage of the loss as a tax deduction.

I don’t know how the law works but suspect it makes an eventual return to any form of media unlikely.
