Star Trek: The Next Generation Reboot With Patrick Stewart Reportedly in Development Rumors of the Picard-centric reboot come amid Alex Kurtzman extending his CBS contract for a planned expansion of the Star Trek TV universe. According to a THR article, there are unconfirmed rumors that CBS TV Studios is developing a Star Trek reboot starring Patrick Stewart in which he would reprise his The Next Generation role as Captain Jean-Luc Picard. According to THR's sources, Alex Kurtzman and Akiva Goldsman are attached to the potential reboot. Not only is this an unconfirmed project, but THR's sources also say that the deal is far from complete and might not happen. Still, this would be huge news for Star Trek fandom—however you might feel about a Picard-centric reboot. The rumors of the Picard reboot come amidst Kurtzman renewing his overall deal with CBS Television Studios, extending his contract by five years. This will keep him in partnership with the studio through 2023, for a reported $5 million per year. Kurtzman was recently made sole showrunner of Star Trek: Discovery following the dismissal of previous co-showrunners Aaron Harberts and Gretchen Berg who left amidst reports of bullying behavior in the writers room. Goldsman, who served as an executive producer on Season 1 of Discovery, also left the show, reportedly due to a clash with the writing staff in terms of management style and personality, so it's interesting that he is still attached to the potential Picard-centric reboot. In addition to his work on Star Trek: Discovery, Kurtzman's extended deal with CBS Television Studios will include an expansion of the Star Trek franchise on the small screen, including the development of new series, miniseries, and other content, including animation. While this generally seems like good news for the Star Trek universe, it may also be disappointing, depending on what kind of Star Trek fan you are. While the move represents a reinvestment in the Star Trek TV universe, Kurtzman is not known for critical success. Previously, he has co-written the scripts for Transformers, Star Trek, Star Trek Into Darkness, and The Amazing Spider-Man 2. More recently, he directed and co-wrote The Mummy. Not exactly the kind of nuanced science fiction writing Star Trek has, at its best, historically represented. More news on the expanded Star Trek TV universe as we hear it.

SNW is pretty good. Feels a lot like the original series. They even echo the original in some episodes. Pretty much my favorite ST series right now. Cannot wait for S2

Pike, Spock and the Enterprise were the only parts of Discovery that didn't completely suck balls. I tried to watch the third season and lasted about five minutes.

yes I read that on reddit somewhere. And tonight while driving, I had an epiphany.
Spoiler!
And if I'm right, anyone reading this thread who has advance knowledge of the script better not even HINT AT CONFIRMING THIS. NOT EVEN WITH A ****ING EMOJI YOU HEAR ME? |

See Paramount, you can still be woke without the cringe.

I really do think there is a good argument it had the best S1 of any Trek since the original series.

Since they fired Kurtzman, we are not getting anymore Trek until at least 2026? You guys here that?
But, maybe Picard3 is better since Kurtzman got fired? Someone else can take control. Trek is a way way wider universe than the Star Wars universe, Thousands od stories to be told, Disney and Faverau have shown you how to make entertaining shows in 2023 with these 40 year old properties. |
