Paramount+ today announced that production has begun in Toronto on Star Trek: Section 31, an original movie event starring Academy Award winner Michelle Yeoh.
In Star Trek: Section 31 , Yeoh will reprise her fan-favourite role as Emperor Philippa Georgiou – a character she played in Star Trek: Discovery’s first season – who joins a secret division of Starfleet. Tasked with protecting the United Federation of Planets, she also must face the sins of her past.

“And we’re off to the races! Thrilled to report principal photography has started on Star Trek: Section 31,” said Executive Producer Alex Kurtzman. “We welcome our incredible cast of new characters as they join our beloved Michelle Yeoh on her next wild adventure across the ‘Trek’ universe.”

Star Trek: Section 31 will be available to stream exclusively on Paramount+. The movie is distributed by Paramount Global Content Distribution.
Would appear that way.
Titles removed seem to be worse than originally thought, One Night is gone after only premiering in September last year.
Not good news for the service at all, definitely a result of major cost cutting at Paramount.

The second season of Big Boys (which is excellent) was only added in the last few weeks and is now the whole show is gone.
I’m guessing they knew a number of these titles would disappear, poor form to not show on there that they were about to expire.
Apparently a number of the shows removed were still being promoted in sponsored posts yesterday.
So let me guess this straight. Paramount gets generous tax breaks to produce local Australian content, then proceeds to put everything behind a paywall, then removes it to force more people to watch poorly made and acted American junk all the while not releasing content on physical media so giving people no option to watch except through illegal means. Gotcha.

Paramount+ has also removed popular Paramount classic programmes such as Cheers and Rules of Engagement from their service. In protest I have decided to cancel my subscription. By doing this, Paramount are doing a total dis-service to their subscribers. And they (and other big Hollywood) wonder why people pirate!
I don’t usually comment in this Paramount topic, but looks like a few of Australian content is off Paramount+
Would that mean that Season 4 of Five Bedrooms can now be fast racked to 10? What about drama One Night? Could that air on 10 too?
A few reality shows like The Bridge Aus can air on Bold, perhaps?
Edit I didn’t realise that this was posted a few hours ago on the Paramount+ topic
Refuse to resubscribe to Paramount+. They already don’t have a huge library, so to remove such recent local content is just terrible.
Is it really just to be stingy when it comes to residuals?
Can 10 please fast track Season 4 of Five Bedrooms then?

Not looking good for Paramount.
Any chance this contentment could end up in 10 Play?
Well they seem to add stuff to 10Play so don’t seem content with it just yet.
The TV Blackbox story has just been updated, Five Bedrooms seems to magically have appeared on Paramount+ again.
Updated: This story previously indicated that Five Bedrooms had been removed from the service, and while not showing as available at the time of publication, it has since been confirmed that the show will remain on Paramount+.

This is still on 10play however I was/am able to watch this through Paramount+ by searching from the Apple TV app. It had been on my watchlist but jumped on it the other day when this news broke. Smashed them all out and enjoyed so a shame if we don’t get more.
I wanted to watch that One Night show and now it’s gone. It was a P+ original. Not sure why a pure oringinal is removed.
Also season 2 of Big Boys from the UK was barely there for two weeks. I managed to watch it but not sure why an acquired show expired so quickly. Surely when they bought it they’d have it for a year at least. Seems so weird.
Residuals tied up in the contract. The less profit a show makes, the less they have to pay and with Paramount cutting costs globally, there’s a bit off the bottom line. Same with the other shows. It’s pretty grim but P+ isn’t alone.
Of course…it also hurts the possiblity of people subbing/renewing P+ but they’ll be hoping the savings outweight the subs being cancelled.
