Which series would you want next?

Considering James McAvoy is currently two years younger than Patrick Stewart was in TNG's first season, I think if they were to do a Stargazer series they cast someone else as a twenty to thirty year younger Picard.
It will never happen, but at the convention last week I talked to Emily Coutts and said I wanted a series featuring Detmer and Owo and the adventures of the Mirror Universe Enterprise. They don't even have to be the leads, but through Discovery season 5, I was thinking about what they were doing and the possibility that it was much more interesting.
I just want a show with new characters, or characters we know next to nothing about. A Romulan War/BOTF series or a Rachel Garrett series seem like the best opportunities to actually add to the lore of the franchise.
A Birth of the Federation series, set in the immediate aftermath of the Romulan war, would present so many opportunities for rich and interesting characters, with a backdrop begging to be explored.
We'd see the relationships forming between the founding members l of the Federation, which could give way to some interesting political drama.
We could see the xenophobia of the species being cast aside and giving way to cooperation and trust between the races.
Early deep space missions taking our characters to wonderous sights they couldn't imagine and bringing back a real sense of exploring the unknown.
Or we could see a series following Rachel Garrett, set within the "Lost Era." A time we know very little about, but yet we know to be rather consequential.
This series could fill in the blanks about what little we know about the early 24th century, while exploring a character that's virtually unknown.*
*at least until the Section 31 film airs.

The Romulan War with ENT cast seems impossible to me. It's been almost 25 years since Enterprise last aired. Maybe something on a different NX ship?
The could do a show/film with the cast & characters set in the 2180s. Not an Era that has been explored. Archer is supposed to be on the Fed Council, IIRC.

As muct as I love the Enterprise cast, if they were gonna make something in this era, I would want them to do so with an entirely new cast of characters.
This ... except that I wouldn't mind some guest appearances from TNG/DS9/VOY characters. But it doesn't necessarily have to be "Legacy" with Captain 7 of 9 and Jack Crusher ... ideally a new crew, showing how things go on after Picard.
And ideally, it should be more light-hearted, like SNW. A show that does for the TNG era what SNW does for TOS.
Interesting.

What has he done with her exactly? Make her a captain and?
Did I make it difficult to follow? Captain Seven show, clearly.
Marinate in memberberries some more? Pass.
Is this an absolute simply by having a character reprise their role from a previous show?
No. It's an absolute based on the fact Matalas has said that's exactly what Legacy is going to be were it ever to happen.
I think the bigger question is why is Matalas the only way forward? What is it that he has said or done with Seven that excites people?
I get that Seven appeals for many reasons but what does Matalas actually offer?
I can very well seeing a Legacy/Seven show (taking away all the variables from the buy-out, of course) where Matalas is too busy to be anything more than a producer as others take the charge. I think the people on the screen are really the bigger overall draw than the people behind. Especially to the general fan who has no idea what a Matalas even is, which I bet is the majority.
Well, sure and I imagine much of the appeal for fans is a lot of interest in Seven. What made me question this to be Matalas specific was this post:
And the interesting proposal that it's Matalas or nothing. So why just Matalas?
So Matalas or nothing? No thanks.
Zero plus zero still equals zero. Plopping Seven (or any fanfave character) into the captain's chair and calling it a "show" or a "direction" is still a big fat nothingburger.
