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.

First episode that I've really liked so far.
Might be because of limited Michelle Hurd. Realized today that I'm just not a fan of her character. Also limited Alison Pill. |

****ing amazing.
I'm genuinely torn between thinking Hugh is actually in on it and RomuLegolas is about to get a phaser to the back of his head, and Picard and FemmeData went somewhere REALLY BAD....or that they actually escaped and the next episode is going to be Hugh and RomuLegolas escaping the cube and the others making a rendezvous with Picard. Either way...****ing amazing. And I'm incredibly curious who the blurred-out-face dad is supposed to be....is it Data....someone else?

My guess would be Data's brother, Lore, is involved. There's gotta be a reason those androids attacked everyone on Mars. Perhaps he's the greater target the Romulans are after.

Honestly, the fact that Lore hasn't been mentioned at all yet in a Trek series that is completely about artificial lifeforms (and their capacity for both good/evil) and in particular about twin androids, is probably telling that he'll likely show up at some point.

Yeah, some idiot like Maddox when he couldn't get his hands on Data any longer (both because Data at first won his tribunal decision against him and then was later destroyed).

There's an aspect of Romulan history and mythology to this that we haven't been shown yet. Why the hatred of synthetics? Why do they keep talking as if there are more advanced synthetics out there, more than just Dahj and Soji? And I think there's some connection to the Borg that hasn't been revealed.

I don't think there's going to be a Lore angle, mainly because
