The wrap comes as the first season has almost finished its run, with the season finale to air on March 12th.<\/p>\n<p>Response has been decidedly mixed to the series.  Critics were so-so, some liking it  and some not so much, while the audience scores on aggregate sites have been fairly dire.<\/p>\n<p>More importantly, the series has failed to crack Nielsen\u2019s top 10 streaming originals list, even the two-episode premiere, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/thatparkplace.com\/starfleet-academy-nielsen-ratings\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">That Park Place<\/a>, which has also catalogued the Paramount+ rankings \u2013 the title generally appearing in tenth place for a few days as new episodes drop.<\/p>\n<p>The series was created by Gaia Violo and co-showrun by Alex Kurtzman and Noga Landau, with Violo and Landau recently chatting with <a href=\"https:\/\/trekmovie.com\/2026\/02\/27\/exclusive-star-trek-starfleet-academy-eps-talk-shocking-season-2-finale-series-future\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">TrekMovie<\/a> about where the show is heading and it seems they have hope for the future.<\/p>\n<p>Asked if the second season finale was written in a way that could serve as a series finale in case they don\u2019t get a renewal, Landau says: \u201cAbsolutely not. We have so much story to tell. If anything \u2013 yeah, it is not the end.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Violo went further, saying: \u201cIt\u2019s such a shocking ending, you do not want it to [end] \u2013 no, no!\u201d.  In other words, a potential cliffhanger?<\/p>\n<p>Kurtzman previously indicated the series was planned out for a four-season arc, but Landau says they still don\u2019t know either way if they\u2019ll get the chance to resolve that cliffhanger:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNothing yet [on if they will or will not get season 2] but we\u2019re just \u2013 we\u2019re so happy with season 2, and we can\u2019t wait for everybody to see it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The pair confirm Tig Notaro\u2019s Jett Reno will get a lot more screen time in the second season.
