The article says that the new leadership wants to create more ‘America-centric’ content.
That said, with their streamer’s major weakness being its lack of subscribers outside the United States and that Ellison and his top team managed to grate so much on Taylor Sheridan that he has signed a contract to move to NBCUniversal in three years, they seem likely to faceplant with this ‘corporate approach.’
Eh, I don’t think them trying to make some things “geared to the middle of the country” is necessarily a sign that they’re going full MAGA - the context there is that they’re likely to pursue Tom Cruise for more projects, and…that’s the sort of stuff that Tom Cruise makes.
I don’t think the Star Trek sky is falling, at least any more or less than it was before. But then, I’m not very invested in them making feature films anyway!
I don’t think it’s that straightforward. They just gave the South Park guys half a billion dollars, and re-upped Jon Stewart for another year.
The CBS News division is a tire fire right now, but I don’t think there have been signs of creative interference in the studios.
You know, yet.
