As the pinnacle of the “Star Trek” franchise on tv today, the buck stops with producer Alex Kurtzman on plenty of issues associated to that world.
As such there’s an enormous a part of the fandom that likes to saddle him with all of the blame for the whole lot they understand as unsuitable with the franchise, from artistic decisions throughout the particular person reveals to which reveals finally get the inexperienced mild to maneuver ahead.
One frequent narrative that appears to have emerged on dialogue boards is that “Star Trek: Legacy,” a proposed follow-up to the third and remaining season of “Picard,” isn’t transferring ahead and Kurtzman – both partly or in full – is liable for blocking it.
In a brand new chat with Den of Geek, Kurtzman has straight out denied any such claims, saying the choice to greenlight such a challenge is effectively above him as he could be transferring ahead with such a collection imminently if he may:
“If I had a magic button, a magic ‘greenlight button,’ for Star Trek: Legacy, and it was all on me, I’d push that button at this time. Proper now, it’s past my paygrade.”
The feedback comply with CBS president George Cheeks’ current feedback that the “Star Trek” franchise stays “one of the crucial necessary franchises for Paramount International, and Paramount+ particularly.”
Cheeks indicated on the time that they could be doing with Trek what Disney is doing with Marvel of late – specifically, slowing down the timeline rollout of reveals and avoiding too many collection directly.
“Star Trek: Discovery” will launch its fifth and remaining season on Thursday while a “Part 31” movie not too long ago wrapped manufacturing.
