Despite Star Trek: Discovery's critical success, it was far from a fan-favorite. Though all four seasons boast an average 85 percent critical score, the audience score is at a dismal 37 percent. Since audience scores are more strongly correlated to overall viewership, Discovery simply wasn't pulling the numbers to make it a financially viable intellectual property.

Unpopular opinion time:

Both Star Trek and Star Wars need to kick bricks. It’s time for some new IP. Those stories have been told time and again, let it rest and bring in some fresh new stories with new IP.

The Expanse was fantastic. I'd love to see the rest of the books adapted some day...

As for other sci-fi, my god there's so much good shit in literature that will never be seen on a screen.

The Three Body Problem is getting several adaptations, one of which might or might not fix my issues with that series, but it does have conceptual potential.
