This is possibly Star Trek-adjacent news:
In addition to continuing to lead drama development, Seabury’s expanded EVP role will include overseeing content strategy with an emphasis on franchise building and leveraging and identifying new and existing IP across broadcast, streaming and other emerging media. He’ll continue to implement strategic roadmaps for the Studio’s producer and pod deals, and now collaborate across departments and divisions to find innovative opportunities for storytellers.
Titles and franchises that Seabury and his team have developed and shepherded include this year’s breakout series Matlock. He also helped oversee the expansion of the NCIS franchise, with NCIS: Origins and NCIS: Tony & Ziva, as well as series including Elsbeth, Evil, the Star Trek franchise, Fire Country and its new spinoff Sheriff Country, the upcoming Happy Face for Paramount+, among others.
Deadline is an industry news site, so the comments tend to be filled by people from the industry (or at least claiming to be).
It’s real hard to interpret all the corporate jargon, but…I think in the near term, nothing’s likely to change. The guy was already overseeing drama, including Star Trek, and is continuing in that role. The new bit seems to be “emphasis on franchise building and leveraging and identifying new and existing IP across broadcast, streaming and other emerging media,” which is…vague, but obviously could have implications for Trek. Maybe they’ll lean into alternative projects like the Khan podcast series, or that Picard audiobook they did a while back.
And maybe it could involve coordinating with the film division for the next theatrical movie?
