Knowing your audience is a huge part of market research, something that Paramount+ clearly sucks at looking at the fact that there is a teen Star Trek Show out there.

Star Trek has always shifted tone depending on the audience it’s trying to reach, that’s not new. The real issue is whether the show was actually marketed and positioned properly. If people didn’t connect with it, that’s less about it being aimed at teens and more about how it was presented and whether it gave existing fans a reason to care.

And to be fair, broadening the audience isn’t bad strategy, it’s how franchises stay alive. The problem is when the execution doesn’t match the intent, not the idea itself.
