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.

You're wrong about Discovery, amigo.

Mount's time as Pike and the conclusion of Lorca's arc makes up for the bullshit.

Perfectly balanced episode.

Just when I thought they were about to go overboard with the humor they darkened the tone sufficiently.

The moment between Picard and Seven got my nerd tears flowing.

Yes. That was a great scene.

Frakes did a fantastic job on that episode.

I see some people complaining that "this isn't Star Trek" because it's darker than TNG

it's no darker than DS9 was, apart from the set lightning

stupids

This is the best possible version of Star Trek so far. It's like someone took all the best stuff from DS9 and TNG and threw it in a big pot together and added just a tiny dash of Abrams.

What the **** Paramount was doing wasting time with Discovery and JJ's stupid movies is beyond me.

THIS is Star Trek.

Also, Jean-Luc's outfits are just the best. Particularly liked how he pointed out how absurd that 24th century suit was, too.





Did you catch that sign in the dysfunctional Borg cube that said something like 'This Workplace Has Gone XXX,XXX Days Without An Assimilation'?

That was fantastic.

Anyone else catch these Easter Eggs?

Quark seems to have either left DS9 or has franchised his bar.

Icheb didn’t have a cortical node, he donated it to Seven to save her life in one of the Voyager episodes. Good bit of writing that made that scene all the more affecting.

Whoa.

I had no idea that was even a former character.

That's the other thing that's great about this show. I went and looked up Maddox's Memory Alpha entry....perfect tie in.

Kind of weird for me of all people to be the dissenting voice, but every week I keep waiting for this show to get good, and afterwards I'm always left thinking 'well, that was okay, I guess.'. And if we're propping it up against the Kelvin timeline treks, then maybe it is 'good' by that measure. But put it against something like Altered Carbon on Netflix, which I just binged as a refresher for season 2, and it's not even close. The worst episode of AC (not that there was a bad one really...) is better than any Picard episode. And against something like The Expanse, and, well, it's like Picard is the JV show and The Expanse is the Varsity. So I guess Picard is just a let-down for me so far. Maybe I expected too much.

Christ, I didn't know there were going to be spoilers. I watched the interview at the beginning then skipped ahead to Seven shooting some chick. I can only assume that either the uploader has never seen In the Pale Moonlight, or the chick that got shot was named Optimism.
