  • Original timeline - Around TNG/DS9/VOY (24th Century)

  • Original timeline - Post Nemesis (25th Century)

  • Alternate timeline - Around 2009/Into Darkness (23rd Century)

  • Alternate timeline - Post Into Darkness (24th - 25th Century)

  • Other

I'd like either timeline,There's still a lot to explore in the original timeline But there's also a lot of potential in the new timeline to dig into for a new TV show!!
 
I'd go with Star Trek: Renegade. Bad ass captain sprung from prison for a super secret mission, which only he/she/it has the knowledge to complete, in the pilot. Everything goes wrong, and this convict ends up in charge of the ship and saves the day, crew is branded pirates/renegades... on goes the show.

gets away from pyjama clad do gooders and moves into a grittier realm. Of course they are good guys, and will save the federation on a yearly basis, but not as part of the federation, and not in the manner the federation would.
 
I vote "Star Fleet Academy". It could be like "Young Justice", but with Trek.
 
I´d go with original timeline post Nemesis since it would be more fun to have all the tv series in the same universe. I´ll admit though that it would be tempting to have an alternative timeline were Voyager never happened :)

What ever they decide to do it would have to take place somewhere that the other series haven't covered so that you could have a lot of new races and events. I don't want a retelling of stuff that's already been done.
 
Every show is either about a specific ship or station, so why not have a series about the Federation (or Starfleet, as suggested by Jordacar)?
 
I have zero desire to see Star Trek go grimdark. I know that's what's hot right now, and I know it's not cool for things to be optimistic and positive, but I think it's important for Star Trek to retain that.
 
The only show to really be "dark" was Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and that was really well done IMO. And at the time, it wasn't clichè like it is now (after TDK, everything has to be "dark").

But I agree, Star Trek should continue to be optimistic, and portray a bright and hopeful future.
 
While I wouldnt mind if they stuck to the original universe, I wouldnt either if they went with the rebooted one or made a tv reboot universe since they could do more original stories I think. But it would be hard to do one with the new movieverse since you dont know where they will go in the future.
 
No one has mentioned Michael Dorn pushing a Worf centric show that was written about not long ago. Has this been sunk and I missed it?

A Worf centric show could be really cool. It would be different.

The problem with Star Trek: Voyager is that it was afraid to take any risks. Its premise was really cool, having a ship in a different quadrant trying to get home, but the format were basically the same as TOS and TNG. We need something new and different with Star Trek on television, and a Worf show could be very different if done well (as long as its just not him commanding a ship exploring a new planet or alien race for every episode).
 
I'd like it to be in the new timeline in the same era as the movies. Only obviously, it wouldn't be about the Enterprise
 
I don't think it should be about a specific ship at all to be honest.
 
This is just another hopeful "Netflix can do it" dream of someone's for a new Star Trek series unfortunately. There is not even talks at this stage.
 
I wonder what will happen when they can't get the cast of the reboot back, will they reboot and go the Bond route with the original characters? Or will they follow on into the Next Generation cast?
 
Why reboot the same stories again ? Once this cast is done. Clearly go into the future with new characters. Or maybe a movie in the past with a Starfleet Origins movie type of thing
 
I fully believe that if we get another TV show (Abrams wanted to do one that would run parallel to the films, but Paramount turned him down), that it'd be in the Abrams timeline. Paramount is not going to do movies set in one timeline and a TV show set in a completely timeline, they'd want to be more "streamlined" than that. And I don't think that we'll the main cast do a (Pine, Urban, Zaldana, etc) do an ongoing TV show. Most of them have pretty successful film careers, so it's not practical. My idea would be have a TV show happening in the same universe as the films, but focusing on a different ship and crew having their own adventures.

As long as it's not going back to Rodenberry's so-called "ideal humans." "Ideal humans" meaning people that don't really act like actual human beings and frequently come across like pompous, arrogant, self-righteous a-holes who are completely dismissive of other cultures (I'm looking at you early TNG and Enterprise seasons).
 
I wouldn't mind an Enterpise B or Enterprise C show that's in the continuity following the Abramsverse.

Don't get me wrong, I loved DS9, and still like the Bermanverse, but that universe I feel has become too "full," if that makes any sense. Between the development of new technology, the most destructive war in known history, the shattering of old empires and the emergence of so many omnipotent beings, I feel the Bermanverse has pretty much played itself out.

Any future series must have a character like Bones, probably the best single character in all of Star Trek (sorry Spock). He or she will bring such realness to the show that was lacking in TNG, Voyager and Enterprise (if the future of the human race is that we all become bland northern Californian macrobiotic yuppies, I will welcome the Borg invasion with open arms).

Any show I imagine would have to be in the Abrams verse.

I wouldn't mind a Star Trek Defiant series. As enterprise goes on its 5 year mission we can follow the uss defiant on its first tour through space. I don't know something like that. Maybe Marcus can be it's science officer.
 
The advantage of going with Abrams verse is that they can start a new series without the massive baggage of the old timeline. Just start the new series by having something big happen that really shakes things up all over the alpha quadrant.

I have heard this statement before in suggesting a new series using the Abramsverse. While it is true that the alternate timeline does present new opportunities to reimagine events, the "massive baggage" cannot be completely ignored. Yes Vulcan was destroyed and the timeline of the federation was altered. Whether or not that impacted the civilization of other species is debatable. Cardassians may have known that Vulcan was destroyed for example but that doesn't mean their occupation of Bajor didn't play out in the same sequence as the main universe. Romulans could have still attacked Kitomer and the federation could have intervened which led to peace accords. Yes, the federation was changed but this fact may not impact the sequence of events in all situations. In my opinion, acknowledging this fact and accepting this as part of the writers responsibility in considering scripts make a show in the alternate universe as challenging as one in the main timeline.
 
I've always thought a series centered around one Klingon and one Romulan ship during the later part of the DS9 days would be interesting.
