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.

STAR TREK fans, you’re in for a treat. I’m delighted to say that PICARD: SEASON THREE sticks its landing with a finale that delivers great action, strong character moments, and all the emotions you’re hoping for in an absolutely thrilling 63 minutes!

Question for you: Do you think Star Trek: Picard season 3 does better fan service intertwined with story then Star Wars does with Disney at the helm at this time?

Yes. Star Wars has devolved into action schlock and cheap jokes.

That's fine, but Picard was superior this season.

Legacy vs Ahsoka for the rights to the nerd throne. :-)

The slight on DS9's omission by Matalas in what he wanted to do is a bit rough

It may not be a fair comparison but season three of Picard has been better than the current season of Mando and it isn't even close.

That's true, but when you factor in how meh the first season was and how wretched the second season was, overall Mandolorian has been much better. Even though season 3 has been a bit of a slog, it's still far better than the first two years of Picard.

As for the last episode itself, while it didn't quite live up to the glorious setup in Episode 9, it was still a very satisfying ending.

I liked the finale overall, but I thought the epilogue got a little too cute.
