The Starship Enterprise in 2009 Star Trek

We don't yet know when Star Trek: Starfleet Academy will hit Paramount+, but we do know that the show will be back for a second season. That news was broken during a Star Trek universe panel at New York Comic-Con on October 19, along with the news that She-Hulk star Tatiana Maslany will make a guest appearance in the show's first season. Details of exactly who she's playing have been kept under wraps. Co-showrunner Alex Kurtzman was the one to make the announcement during the panel.

According to the series' official logline, the show "will follow the adventures of a new class of Starfleet cadets as they come of age in one of the most legendary places in the galaxy. The series will introduce viewers to this young group of cadets as they come together to pursue a common dream of hope and optimism. Under the watchful and demanding eyes of their instructors, they will discover what it takes to become Starfleet officers as they navigate blossoming friendships, explosive rivalries, first loves and a new enemy that threatens both the Academy and the Federation itself.”

Paramount+ uses generative AI to launch curated collections for kids

Paramount+ has used generative AI to launch new curated collections focusing on kids-first content for families. Using generative AI, Paramount+ can further promote new and old programs that the subscriber hasn't seen before. These new curated collections result in a better streaming experience for kids and their parents.
This new initiative is based on customer insight. Many children and parents are drawn to specific themes within shows. Using research studies based on direct communication with children and parents, Paramount+ worked with these themes to determine which programs to feature in each collection. Sample collections include Space Exploration, Goofy Stuff, Daring Stunts, Treasure Hunting, Secret Worlds, and Exploring Nature.
This kids-first content is now available across platforms on the "Older Kids" profiles. These profiles are intended for audiences ranging from ages six to 13. After a kid's profile is created on Paramount+, the streamer will only show certain programs under the corresponding rating to limit inappropriate content.
When you log into Paramount+, select Add Profile in the top-right corner. Add your child's name and switch on Kids Mode. Select Older Kids and you're all set. Reminder: An older kids profile contains programs with ratings TV-Y, G, TV-Y7, TV-Y7-FV, TV-G, TV-PG, and PG.

1923 season 2: Everything we know about the Yellowstone prequel
A man stands next to a woman and stares.

Yellowstone has only been around since 2018, but the show is so popular that series co-creator Taylor Sheridan keeps coming up with new spinoffs and prequel series for Paramount+. That was also a way for Paramount+ to have a part of the franchise since the streaming rights for Yellowstone currently belong to Peacock. To date, Sheridan has produced and released two prequel miniseries, 1923 and 1883, with more shows on the way. While 1883 was designed to run only a single season, a new season of 1923 is in the works.

Although filming has yet to begin for 1923 season 2, a few things have been revealed about what's coming up next. We'll add more details when new information is available. For now, this is everything you need to know about 1923 season 2.
