They're not going to do a series set during TOS.

I agree. I don't know why they're supposedly going to redo TOS been repeated here so often like it's been greenlit already.
I suppose I understand why some folks feel it’s an inevitability. Sure, the entertainment industry is very much prone to rebooting and redoing everything, but I don’t get the feeling that folks making any of the current Trek shows are planning on it/building towards it.
The difference is is: STAR WARS sets and props were always designed for feature film widescreen aspect.
The TOS Bridge sets and other ship sets were designed with a 4 by 3 TV ratio in mind. Yes they could have used the old original set design for the 1701, ( and I honestly thought they looked okay when ENT completely rebuilt and use them for the season 4 episodes "In A Mirror Darkly" parts 1 and 2).
That said I thought what they did for STD season 2 with the 1701 Bridge set was fine and really struck a good balance between the 1964 and 1966 original designs and a 21st century production design update. It appears they've updated the sets again for the upcoming series Strange New Worlds to something they feel strikes and even better balance between the 1966 design and their 21st century design update, but time will tell.
Yes, they are.
When you have all the pieces set up on the chessboard it would be silly not to play.
They are going to need a Flagship show after Discovery and SNW end.
Then they'll do what they've been doing for the last 5 years, do a brand new premise.
No, they're not. There's no indication of this at all.Yes, they are.
All the shows have been avoiding stepping on the previous series so far (time period wise)
Lower Decks? Prodigy? Section 31? Starfleet Academy? Worf?
All are canceled.
They'll probably put it to Star Trek: Staff Meeting, highlighting the administrative tasks of Starfleet.
None of those are flagship material. They need something new and flashy that they can advertise to the masses. What's better than the return of Kirk, Spock, and McCoy? I will hedge here and say this only happens if there are no more Kelvin films.
If SNW sees any measurable success beyond the middling attention paid to Disco and Picard, then there will absolutely 100% be a TOS redux. As such, it's a very safe bet that there are already contingencies in the pipeline should such a situation arise.
I highly doubt it.
I think I'll wait until Strange New Worlds comes out before predicting a successor. Seems a bit odd to be polite.
Doubt it all you want to.
But this is still a business first, and Kirk and Spock are -- and forever will be -- the high-ticket item.
Nope.
If that were true, they would have put Kirk in SNW.
That's a pretty ridiculous fallacy.
No, they put Pike in SNW because of Anson Mount’s popularity. Just the fact that they’re adding characters such as Uhura and M’Benga almost guarantees that the rest of the TOS cast are in the pipeline.
I think they could do a "New TOS" show because it's what I've said before, they've created three lanes of new series: The TOS Lane (SNW, early DSC, S31?), the TNG Lane (PIC, LD, PRO), and the Future Lane (later DSC, SFA?). If you're going to have so many Star Trek series, this is one way of breaking it up.
I agree with you here, but given how many years SNW might run, and that they probably only have one more Kelvin Film in them, I think this will be a non-issue by the time it would actually happen.
I don't think they'll out-and-out redo TOS. I think they'll continue doing what they've been doing...dance all around TOS, using it as a touchstone that they can connect their own shows to.
