Very interesting interview... So this really is going to be Star Trek's Golden Days. Forget 1996-1998... We're now gonna have several multiple shows on at the same time. Whoohoo! Please no Harry Mudd series though... :-p
Well for Star Trek, he wrote this:So what do we know about this James Duff guy?
Cause it seems he's going to be (is?) the guiding force in DISCOVERY's Writers Room now.

Interesting that the interviewer went out of their way to ask about Georgiou.
Harry Mudd. If a series focused around him happened, no one and I mean no one would be able to argue it was like any other Star Trek series.

"We’re looking at limited series for some Trek shows and we are looking at ongoing series for some other Trek shows. We’ve obviously announced the one that’s coming next with Sir Patrick Stewart but we have more in development there."
"We’ve really talked about virtually all of the characters who popped in Discovery as potential spin-off shows. It’s obviously very much driven by our conversations with Alex Kurtzman’s Secret Hideout and the other creators involved. I wouldn’t say at this point that we are actively pursuing a Michelle Yeoh series but it has been discussed."
"DEADLINE: Are we going to see some of the characters that we are going to see in the Star Trek: Short Treks like Rainn Wilson’s Harry Mudd being test trialed so to speak for full-on series consideration?
MCNAMARA: He definitely falls in that category of it could be interesting to build around this character. But, I will say, it hasn’t progressed any further than that.
STAPF: I think what you are asking is are we incubating things potentially, and the answer is Yes and No."
"DEADLINE: Is it certain that one of the new Trek series will be a spinoff from Discovery, and how big a franchise universe are you looking to build?
STAPF: My goal is that there should be a Star Trek something on all the time on All Access. We know it draws an audience, and Discovery has done quite well.
DEBEVOISE: We started well and we’d love to have a second one.
STAPF: Yes, and as we learned, we want to do it right."
"DEADLINE: Are the Star Trek extensions contractually obligated to go to Netflix internationally per the deal on Discovery?
STAPF: It’s complicated. Some are, some aren’t, depending on how it gets defined as series or a spinoff.
DEADLINE: So, the one announced yesterday with Sir Patrick, that’s a standalone series right?
STAPF: Yes, that’s a new series. Which I think is important to distinguish."
Other than Picard, that's the one that makes the most sense.
He also was interviewed for Adam Nimoy's biopic about his father, which I found interesting, because at the time he was much more loosely connected as a fan. He had some pretty intelligent things to say about the series though, so I think he has pretty decent Trek chops.

Perhaps not...but what about.....
TEH FANWANK!!!!1!1!1!11!!!!!!!!!????????
I demand Captain TIlly vs Captain Killy!
Indeed it doesn't. Nothing in the OP's article does.
This will likely be the Pike/Spock/Enterprise series we've heard about.
Please no all-Klingon show, entirely in Klingon. Please. Please.
And I say that as someone who liked the all-Klingon dialogue in the first few episodes.

Typical Star Trek series, focusing on a human as the main character yet again.
It's probably going to be set in space, just like every other Star Trek series.
