Fans of the nearly 60-year-old Star Trek<\/a> franchise are getting more disappointing news following Paramount\u2019s cancellation of the Kelvin Timeline<\/a>. While plans for a new Star Trek movie are in the works, fans of the first and third Kelvin Universe films may be disappointed come January.<\/p>\n

J.J. Abrams\u2019 Star Trek (2009) and Justin Lin\u2019s Star Trek Beyond (2016) are set to leave Netflix on Jan. 1, 2026, meaning fans will have less than a month if they want to watch these movies on the platform. Star Trek boasts a \u201ccertified fresh\u201d 94% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes. Beyond is also certified fresh with an 86% critic score. <\/p>\n

Both movies had massive budgets, with 2009\u2019s Star Trek coming in at a budget of $150 million and Beyond with a budget of $185 million. However, both movies managed to make their marks with impressive box office totals. Star Trek earned more than $385 million worldwide, while Beyond took in more than $343.4 million globally. The films, along with 2013\u2019s Star Trek Into Darkness, starred Chris Pine in the role of Captain James T. Kirk, Zachary Quinto as Spock, Zoe Saldana as Uhura, Karl Urban as Dr. McCoy, Simon Pegg as Scotty, John Cho as Sulu, and Anton Yelchin as Chekov.<\/p>\n

In early November, Paramount essentially killed off any chance for a Kelvin timeline reboot, meaning the long-in-development Star Trek 4 <\/a>won\u2019t be happening. In a report from Variety<\/a>, which analyzed the first 100 days of Paramount\u2019s new chief, David Ellison, stated of the future of Trek at Paramount, \u201cThe hope is to have a fresh Star Trek movie, though the studio has moved on from the idea of bringing back Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto and the rest of the ensemble from the J.J. Abrams reboot.\u201d<\/p>\n

Paramount Isn\u2019t Done with Star Trek Yet<\/p>\n

Thus, Paramount seemingly has abandoned all hope for any future Kelvin movies with Chris Pine\u2019s Enterprise crew. However, instead of another Kelvin movie, Paramount is moving forward with the Star Trek franchise on the big screen. On Nov. 14, Paramount Pictures announced that a new feature film is in development from writers Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley<\/a> (Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves). According to Deadline<\/a>, Goldstein and Daley\u2019s pitch to Paramount is a “completely new take in the Star Trek universe.\u201d That means the story won\u2019t be connected to anything that\u2019s come out of the world of Trek, and it will feature a cast of new characters.<\/p>\n

Paramount, ahead of the 2016 release of Beyond, announced a fourth Kelvin movie, which would reunite the cast. However, plans quickly stalled as the cast balked at the studio\u2019s offer of a smaller payday and stating that the previous movies were underwhelming at the box office. In the years since, several attempts have come and gone as far as making a fourth Trek movie, with even Quentin Tarantino saying he\u2019d throw his hat in the ring.<\/p>\n

For now, fans have until Jan. 1, 2026, to watch Star Trek and Star Trek: Beyond as the two movies will leave Netflix on that date.<\/p>\n
