Paramount+ has canceled the "Star Trek: Starfleet Academy" spinoff after its first season, with the already filmed second season still set to air, following weak viewership and fan backlash. Actors Karim Diané and Raoul Bhaneja previously shared their feelings on social media about the show's ending.

Star Trek: Starfleet Academy introduced the first gay Klingon into canon, and George Takei offered his support to Jay-Den and actor Karim Diané.
