Paramount Dropping Lawsuit Against Star Trek: Axanar Fan Film

Now, nearly six months after the case was first filed, Star Trek film producer J.J. Abrams has revealed that Paramount Pictures and CBS will be abandoning the lawsuit.

No doubt, plenty of talented TV and movie producers have aided in Star Trek‘s endurance but “Trekkies” have kept the series afloat during the numerous periods in between official projects – so much that rights-holders Paramount Pictures and CBS have often encouraged fans to develop their own corners of the Star Trek universe.

Not to mention, after Star Trek Beyond hits theaters later this summer, CBS is preparing the launch of a new Star Trek TV series next year.
