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.

It won't be Chipotle that shows up from Voyager.... Beltran turned down an offer to be on Picard because he felt that his role on Picard wouldn't further his character.
He took the gig on Prodigy instead. I'm hoping it is Robert Picardo as The Doctor. |

This is getting good. Now I wouldn’t go so far as to say it is the best since DS9 (there are great Voyager, Enterprise and SNW episodes), but this is a huge step up from Picard’s first 2 seasons (which they have smartly basically ignored in S3). I hope they continue it further if this is the king of quality we can expect moving forward.

I was referring to the larger, traditional ships with primary and secondary sections. First the Enterprise D had a saucer section that was oval-shaped, and after that they started getting pointy. I always thought Voyager looked like a dachshund on water skis.
The Defiant design is a complete departure and I loved it. It's basically the Millennium Falcon of Star Trek. |

And SNW was a very good show (for the most part) and really shouldn’t be roped in with the disaster that is Discovery. Their season finale was and is the best thing Trek had done since Enterprise. |
