    You don't know what you're asking for.

    As does the Canadian federal government (plus the 25-40% discount on Canadian dollars).

    It took them over a year after pike and the enterprise showed up on discovery for them to announce strange new worlds. If they do announce legacy it probably won’t be until around the same time frame

    I read that as lighting at first. I was thinking that explained why it was so dark this season! :guffaw:

    I hope the Legacy series happens. I much more interested in it than the Academy series (and its 32nd Century timeframe).

    But the budgetary issues are the real problem. Given that the Academy series is already greenlighted, that might well put the kibosh on Legacy. Definitely a mistake greenlighting Academy before seeing how Picard S3 does. Get the viewership data first then make the decision.

    Unfortunately, getting around the budgetary limitations in the current financial climate will be a tough nut to crack. Perhaps impossible. If a series isn't doable, it's entirely possible that they'll make another "movie event" for it instead. See S31.

    The next opportunity for a Legacy type series might be after SNW or Academy ends. But who knows which way the winds will be blowing then, and which actors will be available.

    Nope, not any more. That was the plan at one point, but they never quite got to it. But the budgetary limitations have nixed that. We're past the point of peak Trek for the streaming era. This has been officially stated, although I don't have a link handy.

    Even Star Wars has ditched the "year round new content"

    Mura was fine, but I think there's more there to explore with Elnor. Plus I think he and Jack would be hilarious when put together.

    There probably are plans, they just don't want them to be made public yet for whatever reason. Kurtzman made similar comments every time anyone asked him about a Pike spin-off in the immediate aftermath of Disco S2.

    50/50%

    On the plus side are apparently good metrics. Something P+ wants to see.
    Critics loved it.
    Lots of publicity

    Negative:
    I Dont think there is room for 4 live shows and Sec 31 has an inside track for the third.
    All streaming services are cutting back spending.
    P+ loves cowboys, mobsters and sponges more.

    S31 isn't a show anymore, it's a streaming movie.

    But it's a pilot we already know will do well, so the series is ahead in line of a Picard Spinoff.

    How about we split the difference and have the show focus on a team of JAG officers assigned to the Enterprise G for reasons?
