CBS Television Studios has re-upped its contract with Discovery executive producer and now-showrunner Alex Kurtzman, and the deal includes a heavy focus on creating more Star Trek content for the small screen. What's more, rumors are flying high that Patrick Stewart's Captain Jean Luc Picard could lead one of those projects.

We might get real Star Trek back

They'll bring him back via time travel and have Michael Burnham murder-by-mutiny him too.

How old is Patrick Stewart now? He looked so old back then already...

Yeah, I was thinking "like isn't he ancient now". And with the wonders of technology found out he is 77.

Maybe he's the reverse Asian where he looks old sooner, but looks like the same old age for decades.

He could still pull it off I reckon.

No fucking chance.
It's too good of an idea.

Please God, just let Star Trek die. It had a good run but it's over.

All good things must end eventually. They're just propping the corpse up against a wall and pretending it's moving.

What? no, Discovery was good. I can't see Patrick Stewart returning not for a full season anyway, a cameo or single episode maybe.

Having the character and actor back won't make it "real Star Trek." That would require hiring a team of writers who have no connection with Discovery, and who actually understand what made shows like TNG what they were.

EDIT: I should add the obvious example of Nemesis, which had both Patrick Steward and Picard (and a whole lot of other familiar faces) yet was about as far from good or genuine Trek as anything out there.

Not sure if you're serious, but in Logan he was supposed to look like an old relic.
