Reply to comment by Equivalent_Comfort_2 in Eli5: Why is the screen ratio 16:9 so common instead of something like 2:1 or even just 1:1? by sansgamer554

And The Rings of Power went all the way to 2.39:1. Is that a first for a TV show?

I had to re-check Star Trek since I remember watching Picard and getting the feeling that the image is almost a bit too wide for the content of the show. Sure enough, Star Trek also went to 2.39 starting with Discovery S2 (2019). I've edited my previous comment.

This actually has my TV glitching out. It was oddly adjust screen ratios during scenes. Has to turn off the 2.39:1 ratio.
