Come to Quark’s, Quark’s is Fun!

General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.

Shifting schedules - linear and streaming release dates are beginning to be pushed back in response to WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. (www.syfy.com)

The markers of the strikes’ impacts are beginning to appear.

Syfy’s SurrealEstate may not have been on your radar, but it’s one of the first cable announcements pushing back a premiere date (from ‘summer’ to late October). It’s a quirky and fun show that deserves the profile of a peak fall run.

We’ve also seen announcements of Canadian network shows (e.g., Kids Ruin Everything) being picked up by CW and other US linear platforms as they try to fill their schedules. Much the same happened when COVID stopped production, and shows from Canada and elsewhere were given a chance to break into American markets.

One has to wonder whether this situation could backhandedly help Prodigy find a new home - or even get Paramount to revisit its decision. Why give up new and unused content when you can’t count on making more for a while?
