Sure, but they could do literally the exact same show but set further in the future.

When they brought Star Trek back in the 90s we got three great shows that all did their own thing while making callbacks to - but not relying on - the original series.

All of the new shows rely way too much on nostalgia and I just wish they’d move on.

It seems that fan feedback is one of the reasons SNW exists. Which is fine; fan write-in campaigns and petitions are central to Star Trek.

I do agree that a series outside TOS would be enjoyable, however that doesn't seem to be in development right now (actually nothing is really in development right now). More than likely, I wouldn't be surprised if Paramount pushed Star Trek: Legacy as a series after reception to the finale of Picard.
