If he were to do his own version of TOS, we could've had Sam L. Jackson as Robert April. That right there'd be worth the price of admission. Anyone else from his usual stable of actors would just be gravy.
Ok. What is the chance of a Picard spinoff?

Samuel L. Jackson (as April): "Hit those mother f%$#ing Klingons!"
The odds are approximately 2228.7:1.
Somebody had to say it.

Paramount booted the original writers of S31 and replace them with someone else. They been constantly been finding new writers for the fourth Kelvinverse movie for the last decade.
Not to mention that TNG was a rework of Phase II.
It’s not hard to conceive Paramount reworking Matalas’s Legacy and Tawny’s show as something new under someone else who probably knows nothing about Star Trek.
If you are happy with the way S31 turned out, more power to you.
I don’t think that’s going to happen. I think SNW and SFA will be the main focus for CBS/P+ for the foreseeable future. Tawny’s pet project might possibly get green-lit based on whatever clout she has with Kurtzman, but that’s not definite.
The Section 31 script was written by Craig Sweeney, who would have been the show's showrunner had it not been switched over to a movie.

That's why he'd be an Admiral!It would have been cool 10 to 15 years ago but hes gotten too old to play a captain.
True. But except for Kirk admirals usually aren't very active in space.
Alternate timeline Admiral Riker did a pretty good job.
Honestly, having an admiral involved and overseeing a task force of ships would be nice to see more of in Trek.
Kirk and Janeway.
Admiral Janeway only made that one appearance in nemesis. She was in her office.
She was flying all over the place in Prodigy.
Oh. I consider that a kids cartoon/comedy and not canon. Ive never watched it. Is it good?
That would be an incorrect assessment.
Your loss.
Yes.
That's not how canon works.
It is considered quite good by many. Would recommend judging for yourself.
It is very unique in the Trek stories.
The story was written by Bo Yeon Kim and Erika Lippoldt. But Craig Sweeney was the one who wrote the screenplay, and was the final writer of S31, which went through seven iterations before production.
S31 was also supposed to have a female director, before they settled on Olatunde Osunsanmi.
It went through a lot of changes before the final product.
I'd bet the biggest advantage that Tawny's project has in getting greenlit is that it will be considerably cheaper to produce than most of the other proposed alternatives.
