The first change.org petition to Renew “Star Trek: Starfleet Academy” for a third season hit 30,000 signatures today, and is over 31,000 at the time of this post.

The one at the post link is the one launched from the UK with the regrettable, unofficial (likely AI) image. But it was up first and has been getting momentum.

There’s another one Renew Star Trek Starfleet Academy for a full season three, with the official key art poster that is about to break 5,000 signatures.

Between these two, Starfleet Academy now has more signatures than did Prodigy when Netflix picked up its second season.

Clearly this is causing consternation among some of those who have opposed the show from the outset. There are now opposing petitions Urge Paramount to shelve Star Trek: Starfleet Academy season two; Keep the Academy series permanently cancelled; and similar. None of these has significant traction.

    I really enjoyed this show. It’s been said that season 2 will end on a cliffhanger. If the series remains cancelled, I hope they can at least squeeze out a little more money to re-shoot or edit parts of the finale so that it’s not a cliffhanger.

    I’m not a fan of the AI image that’s being used but I hope Starfleet Academy gets more seasons.

      I wished they’d used an official image. It’s really odd.

      But it was the first petition up so it’s the one with traction.

    Everything is so on the nose with modern Star Trek. I really struggled to get into Discovery and didn’t even bother with Academy. Lower Decks is great. 🖖

      Modern trek is just so-so. It’s fun to see where the story is going, but overall I don’t care to really rewatch any of it except for lower decks and some snw episodes.

    Just 5 million more and they might get something out of it.

      Amazon took on another 3 seasons of The Expanse with about 130k, Netflix did an additional full 20 episode season of *Star Trek: Prodigy with 35k.

      More than that, 32.5 k is a lot for one of these petitions in this amount of time. We don’t know what it will level off at.

      The rate of signings is accelerating, with nearly 5k in the past 24 hours.
