Budgeting A Star Trek TV Show’s Season Explained

Alex Kurtzman and Michelle Paradise break down how a Star Trek season’s spending

Alex Kurtzman and Michelle Paradise also broke downhow aStar Trekseries is budgetedthroughout a season , usingStar Trek : Discoveryas an example . Noting thatDiscovery ’s premiere and finale episodestend to be more , Paradise excuse :

We have a design budget which is the number that we require to hit for any give episode . Because our premiere and finales are typically larger , because we wanna launch with a clap and end with a bang , we just know that if we go over the convention in the sequence or in a particular expanse of the sequence that in later sequence , we ’re gon na need to make that up . So it ’s really a thing of just making sure that we are persevering about that and keeping caterpillar track along the way . So that by the end of the time of year , we have hit our design for all of the episodes , even if one or more went over .

Kurtzman also point out thatsmaller - budgetedStar Trekepisodes have the advantage of sell expensive spectacle for richer character ontogeny . He says :

Robin Curtis and Kirstie Alley as Lt. Saavik in Star Trek.

In fact , I think from a dramatic view , it ’s great because it hale you to tell stories that are just concentre on quality . Nothing else . If you say like , ‘ dreary , you do n’t get any explosions this episode , you do n’t get anything , any of the bells and whistles . You just have to write people in a room . ’ It force your brain into a different space than you ’re usually in , which is a outstanding matter — if you ’re doing it right , it ’s a groovy thing for character .

Star Trek : Discoveryseason 5 ’s epic gem huntencompasses both spectacle and bass character ontogeny . While there is no Book on whetherStar Trek : Picard ’s much - call for proposed spinoff will get made at Paramount+ , ifStar Trek : Legacyever is greenlit , would go through the same process of development and budget as the otherStar Trekseries executive make by Alex Kurtzman .
