Strange New Worlds' showrunners advise fans to write to Skydance and Paramount if they're interested in a "Year One" Kirk sequel series

Yes, but probably not since there’s little point in returning to the Kelvin timeline. Because at the very least, if they started production tomorrow, it will have been 12 years since we last saw a Kelvin movie. That starship has sailed.

When TMP was made, it had been ten years since we'd seen the cast in live action. And how much time passed between the third and fourth Indiana Jones movies, or the Star Wars trilogies? If we're still getting Predator and Alien and of all things Tron movies in the 2020s, what makes it remotely hard to believe that a franchise a mere dozen years old could make a comeback?
 
Because the casual moviegoing audience doesn’t give a crap about the Kelvin timeline, or would know that it was even that universe if someone didn’t tell them.

Exactly. They don't care about timelines, but they do care about getting to see Chris Pine or Karl Urban or Zoe Saldana or Simon Pegg or John Cho in a movie. If anything, several of those actors are even bigger names now than they were then. So why wouldn't moviegoers want to see them reunited?

You’d have to ask Paramount that question, since for the last nine years they haven’t bothered to do that despite what the moviegoers might want.

And there's been a lot of news about how Paramount has come under new owners who are planning to bring a new strategy to Trek movies. So what their predecessors did is hardly relevant.

Then we’ll see if Skydance thinks the way you do. Whenever they figure out what they’re going to actually do with Star Trek moving forward, that is.
