Star Trek fans are desperate for a sequel to Star Trek: Picard. There was an idea floated out there by Terry Matalas, who envisioned a new show centered around Seven of Nine and Jack Crusher, the biological son of Jean-Luc Picard. It would feature several other characters like Sidney La Forge and maybe a few other veterans of the Star Trek franchise.
In essence, it would be the first continuation of Star Trek stories since Picard and would remain one of the few shows that actually advanced the plot forward. Most shows, like Discovery, Lower Decks, Prodigy, and Strange New Worlds, all fall in between other established shows in the universe.
Yet, this sequel series, dubbed Sar Trek: Legacy, would be the furthest point in the timeline, aside from the forthcoming Star Trek: Starfleet Academy (and later seasons of Discovery). It would be a fun new idea that many fans are excited about. Yet, it's probably not going to happen. While speaking to Variety, President and CEO of CBS's content, George Cheeks, essentially pointed to Legacy being a nonpriority.
"...We don’t want to offer up all these amazing premium drama series at once. We want to time it out appropriately. Luckily, we have this incredible partner in Alex Kurtzman, and we all work together to sort of manage long-range planning across many years, to figure out what’s the right cadence for dropping new Star Trek series...."
Considering that Star Trek did offer up amazing premium dramas all at once not that long ago, and considering the corporate speak surrounding the idea of timing, it's fair to say that Legacy just isn't a priority. If it's even a concept they're entertaining.
See, the show is contingent on continuing where Picard left off. That was, if you remember, with Jack meeting Q. John de Lancie is 72. He's far from a young man and time is running out on guys like him. While there is no guarantee for any of us when it comes to seeing tomorrow, one shouldn't have to point out that as we age, time becomes even more precious.
If the folks at CBS were serious about getting Legacy off the ground, it would've jumped a show like Starfleet Academy. There is no timing issue with Starfleet Academy. Not only that, there isn't a demand for it. Not like the fanbase has shown for Legacy.
Clearly, Legacy is a pipe dream and if it does happen, will likely be far different than the original vision that was pitched to the fandom.
