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.

I've been watching it through a second time with my wife (she didn't see it the first go). I like it even better. It's also fun to pick up on the hints they dropped along the way (though I'm being careful not to drop spoilers for her).

I tried getting into Discovery a few years ago but I couldn't even get very far. Not sure if I even got through season one. But you're right, Strange New Worlds and S3 of Picard have been way better. |

Please don't go back to the well one too many times. Shatner tried it and was mercifully told no. Just be happy with the near perfect ending season 3 gave the story arc of TNG.

If they wanted to do something with Riker, Worf and Geordi I'm down. But it would have to be in service of Captain Seven. I'd be SLIGHTLY interested in that as a launch for a TV show. |

I could imagine being of service to Seven... Only imagine; I'm realistic...

The only thing I want to see Picard doing is pinning a 4th pip onto Data's collar as he takes command of his own starship in a one-off movie like they are making with Yeoh or one of the mini-series they talked about.
As much as I love Patrick Stewart and Picard... it is time for him to sit back and enjoy "all the good things" that are to come in Trek. |

I'd take a Worf on the Enterprise-E prequel. Something like Worf gets caught up in Klingon Game of Thrones, leading to the loss of the E and his embrace of pacifism.
