This sounds very cool and a spectacular way (literally) to raise the profile of SNW and Trek generally with the SDCC attendees.
I just can’t square it though with firing the entire department at Paramount that made The Ready Room and other online promotional content that gets beyond the US market. The cost cutting choices are not obviously justifiable.
It took me forever to find the story, but I think what happened is that they sit down the Paramount+, which handled “publicity, photo, events, awards, talent relations, etc.”.
Those roles have been offloaded to the studio (CBS Studios), and I guess this event, and probably the recent Universal thing, have been put together by them?
Yeah, and I think it also makes sense to assume that Paramount+ produced “The Ready Room”, considering they wouldn’t acknowledge that the second season of “Prodigy” existed.
I’m loathe to support layoffs, but I’m not that opposed to taking things away from the streaming platform and giving them to the production studios.

That makes sense. Something like this would need a lot of runway and would involve contractual obligations that could not be easily terminated.
