To do a new version of Star Trek, you're easily looking at $5-6 million per episode because it would be filmed in Los Angeles on the Paramount with tons of VFX.
For comparison, TNG cost nearly $3 million per when it went off the air in 1994.

Would it have to film in LA? Couldn't they farm it out somewhere else to cut costs?
