Tawny as the principal character as well as co-creator and EP is very interesting.

The fact that she’s been able to state publicly that she would be the lead suggests that the proposal was as advanced as it could be until the new ownership and team could make decisions.

Setting it in the late 24th to early 25th century will also provide the kind of ‘legacy’ opportunities that many Berman-era fans and actors are hankering for while satisfying the apparent executive demands that legacy characters be included for marketing purposes.

Frankly, having legacy characters come to a single planet would be a lot less unrealistic than Matalas’ concept of having the Enterprise G travelling around to visit legacy characters and locations. Production costs and staging would be manageable.

If this is intended to run as a true 22-30 minute comedy, I really hope that Paramount’s streamer greenlights an initial double season as Netflix does. It really takes about 8 episodes for a half hour show to take off.

“I learned so much. I learned so many canon things that even I had no clue about, from one of our wonderful writers, Kirsten Beyer, who’s just the godmother of Trek. She’s the Trek Wiki. Her brain is Star Trek. And I got to co-write my episode with her. That was such a dream, because I could just text her in the middle of the night and ask her just deep cut, nerdy questions that I won’t allude to right now, because it’ll spoil things. Just just imagine having a little Trek Wiki that you can text who’s a human being, who’s your friend. And that’s what it was like working with her. So it’s great.”
