Or Section 31
I'd expect to hear confirmation of a Sec31 project before a Legacy series, assuming Yeoh is still attached. PIC S3 was able to be hyped as much as it was because of the circumstances of it being the long-awaited TNG reunion. Any potential spin-offs won't have that, but Sec31 would have star power, especially with the recent Academy Award win. If Yeoh has lost interest, then yeah, a PIC spinoff is probably the next biggest thing they can offer.
Don't get my hopes up.Or Section 31
Just my two cents.....
With SNW already being a show set on a ship going boldy, and with the Acadamy show now announced, I do feel that TPTB are more interested in something new as a set-up. Not another starship based show.
So perhaps the S31 show indeed. Personally, I wouldn't mind a show along the lines of KRAD's amazing Articles Of The Federation. Basically West Wing set in the Star Trek Universe.
Not that a show set on Titan wouldn't be amazing, I'll admit. I just feel that they'll want to diversify.

@Mage they are not going to create another show in the Discoverse. After the huge success of Picard season 3 they will most likely cancel everything which could be considered remotely connected to DISCO.
S31 is a distinct possibility, as long as the show is set in the new Terryverse.
you can all stop dreaming about new Discoverse boredom after season 5 (hopefully) negates everything which happened in this parallel universe.
The upcoming Starfleet Academy show:
Will get rewritten as a 25th century show.
SNW: Will even further distance itself from the crazy Discoverse doctrine.
You will see it happen. If business defines true Star Trek, here is it’s groundwork:

It is still the truth…
It most certainly is not. You have an opinion on Discovery, and have now formed a truth in your head based on those opinions.
Also i made an educated guess with regards to popularity of the only Star Trek season, which managed to reach the Nielsen Streaming Top 10
If Star Trek really is a business, they need to cancel everything Disco related asap. The numbers don’t lie…
Starfleet Academy is set in 32nd centrury, whether you like it or not. Personally, I don't like the 32nd century and I don't like seasons 3 and 4 of Discovery, but that doesn't change things.
That is not how anything works. This series of Picard is both good and includes the cast that was in 7 seasons and 4 movies that have a big fanbase. They cannot do anything like it again. It is their last hurrah. Continuing Picard without Picard would not guarantee any success. Having Matalas create a new series that is serial like Picard and Discovery does not guarantee any success. Maybe he could make lightning strike twice doing something with the Voyager cast, but that is a huge risk and the Voyager cast is not as popular as the TNG cast was/is.
Also, we don't know the numbers for Strange New Worlds and Discovery, because CBS/Paramount didn't release them before. So we don't know how well other shows did before March 2023. DIS and SNW could have been in the Top 10 as well, as could season 1 and season 2 of Picard. We just don't know, so don't start assuming things.
we know that these shows never reached the Nielsen Top 10 though. The nielsen rating is separate from numbers released by the studio… No Kurtzman Trek show ever managed to reach the top ten. Picard season 3 (and only season 3) did, so we know that is has to be the most successful iteration of NuTrek…
That is one way of seeing it. The other possibility would be that Matalas is a better showrunner, his screenwriting is better, his cinematography is better, his directing is superior to everything they did Discovery.
As of now, maybe. They will reconsider…
Except that…they literally already are.
“Terryverse”…!
What is the “crazy Discoverse doctrine”? I swear Star Trek fans are getting weirder with time. SNW exists because of DSC. I like both, but my feeling is SNW actually plays with/retcons/reboots the established continuity more than DSC did (except visually perhaps). And I’m quite at peace with that. It’s just entertainment to be enjoyed.
Those headlines didn’t really mean that much as Nielsen have only been charting these streaming entries for, what, a year and a half? Back when DSC was on Netflix over here (UK), it would end up at position 1 or 2 on Netflix’s top 10 every week. But then that doesn’t fit with the narrative.
I would presume that season 1 and maybe 2 of Disco managed to allocate a decent amount of viewers. Primarily because it was the first Star Trek TV show since the end of Enterprise. You can give them that. But quality, reviews and obviously ratings declined considerably. Disco doesn’t need to get retconned by its successors, the show retconned itself into oblivion, mainly due to the reason they messed up canon and didn’t want to continue to do so. The 32nd century storyline was the final coffin nail for this iteration of the franchise. It failed, CBS even had to slam the brakes by canceling the show prematurely.
Too many people around here poking that dead horse as if miraculously it would get up and run.

Doubtful. If we look at the situation with Disco S2 and SNW, Disco S2 aired January to April 2019. SNW was first officially announced in May 2020, and premiered May 2022. Therefore I don't expect n announcement about Legacy any earlier than May 2024, though it could premiere as early as fall 2025. SNW did have to work around a pandemic after all, which hopefully any future show won't.
I'm thinking it's a rehash of the "make a Pike series" stuff that went around twitter after Disco S2. But that struck me as manufactured and I really wasn't surprised when SNW was announced. This could be wishful thinking or it could be legit
