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.

Two episodes in, and I'd say cautiously yes. Q alone is worth tuning in for, but the storyline seems to be recycled Trek time travel trope. Maybe they'll put a new spin on it we haven't seen to this point with the other various time travel stories, we'll see.
But yeah, give it a shot. |

no spoilers as far as I know anyway. Agreed. Something is off with Q. I think something is not right in The Q realm. The Borg were off. Layers to be revealed yet. |

I wonder if Q's child Junior is the cause of some sort of instability within the Continuum.

Watched the first episode of Season 1. Confused the hell out of me. But I was half-watching/half-cooking, so maybe I missed something. Visually, it's stunning.

Yeah, the ships and space scenes are fantastic, and the Stargazer looks amazing.

Been watching some Next Generation season 1-2 episodes on BBCA lately. It’s amazing the show lasted past those early seasons. A lot of shaky episodes, corny acting, cheap costumes and sets.

I made it about 3/4 through the first episode and passed out. Looks cool though, and Next Generation is the only Star Trek series i ever got into. It'll be on my list of things to watch.
