Paramount+, the streamer, doesn't want it on their platform, for whatever reason.

CBS Studios, the production house, wants to sell it to a different platform.

They're both subsidiaries of Paramount Global, but they have different priorities.

That is strange but thanks for the explanation.

Paramount wants it off everything and out of production so they can practice the dark art of tax writeoffs with its sacrifice. If they aren't selling it or streaming it anywhere, they can claim it as a business loss.

Again, CBS Studios is a subsidiary of Paramount, and they don't want it off the air and are actively shopping it around, so it's not as simple as you say.
