While I certainly agree from a conceptual standpoint, I think that after the failure of
Star Trek: Enterprise, it would be difficult for Paramount to invest in and produce a new series at this time.
But even more importantly, I think they'd have extreme difficulty finding a network partner to even air it. You're basically looking at a
Game of Thrones type budget ($40-$50 million) to do it "properly" and I can't see that happening because I doubt the ad money is there to support it.
That's been the biggest issue facing the live-action
Star Wars TV program. They've got more than 100 scripts completed but can't find a network to air the show because of the enormous cost to produce each episode.
