If there’s no further breaks, discovery season 4 will end March 17th, so Picard will probably start that week or the week after

I thought it was officially announced to be a February '22 premiere date? There's no reason they can't overlap two series. After all, there's a precedent with Disco and Lower Decks (and Prodigy!).
Dates can change.
Discovery and Prodigy only overlapped for one week, and Lower Decks and Discovery have never overlapped.

I don’t believe that Lower Decks ever overlapped with Discovery, and there was a week between LD’s season ending and Prodigy’s premiere. Paramount’s publicity noted that when Prodigy and Discovery were released on the same day, the day of Discovery’s Season 4 premiere, that it was the first time there’s been two Trek series released together in years.
And, it seems like they’re avoiding too much overlap to keep new Trek coming as frequently as possible, as Prodigy went on hiatus right after the Disco premiere, and now Disco is going on hiatus and returning exactly one week after the next set of Prodigy episodes end.
It’s possible that Picard will overlap, but based on their current release patterns and strategies, it feels like a delay until late March is much more likely.
So, both of you are suggesting that Paramount can't read a calendar and/or miscounted the number of weeks remaining in Disco S4 when they ran an ad for Picard S2 saying "Coming February 2022!".... Forgive me if I doubt that. You know they DO plan these things well in advance, and delays only arise due to technical issues (e.g. a strike or COVID closing down filming, which isn't the case here).
First time doesn't mean the last time.
We’re both suggesting that plans may have changed, not that they miscounted anything.
They didn't consult me first...
Just make the breaks in between seasons shorter. I could care less if we get two Trek series airing new episodes the same week.
Plans can change. They're not set in stone.
Plans change if you can’t go out because your car has a flat tire. A major studio doesn’t move an official release date without a very good reason. Having two of their shows air the same week isn’t one of them.
Sure it is. Movie publishers do it all the time.
The fact Discovery's break is as long as the next batch of 10 episodes of Prodigy makes me think they don't want overlap.
Maybe post-production is running behind. Season 4 did start airing only 3 months after filming wrapped.

They were also saying the same thing about Discovery and Netflix until 2 days before it was pulled.
I say boycott.
The only person who suggested that it wouldn't air in February was a poster on the previous page of this thread, and that was based on speculation about the "no two shows at once rule" (which doesn't exist).... Until I hear something from Paramount, I'm expecting to see JLP, Q, and co. back in action in Feb., because that's what was released:

This era of Trek kicked off with Discovery, which was initially announced as debuting in January of 2017, then pushed back to May 2017, and then delayed again until the actual release of September 24th, 2017.
In this age of television, even with streaming, officially announced dates of shows’ releases are shuffled around all the time.

I guess we'll see in February.
Ugh, I hope S2 still airs in February. I'm already tired of Discovery.
