As the head of the “Star Trek” franchise on tv nowadays, the dollar stops with manufacturer Alex Kurtzman on a variety of things connected to that world.
There’s a huge part of the fandom that enjoys to saddle him with all the blame for whatever they view as incorrect with the franchise, from imaginative options within the person reveals to which reveals eventually get the green light to move forward.
One typical story that appears to have actually emerged on conversation boards is that “Star Trek: Legacy,” a proposed follow-up to the 3rd and last season of “Picard,” isn’t progressing and Kurtzman– either in part or completely– is accountable for obstructing it.
In a brand-new chat with Den of GeekKurtzman has actually right out rejected any such claims, stating the choice to greenlight such a job is well above him as he would be progressing with such a series imminently if he might:
“If I had a magic button, a magic ‘greenlight button,’ for Star Trek: Legacy, and it was all on me, I ‘d press that button today. Now, it’s beyond my paygrade.”
The remarks follow CBS president George Cheeks’ current remarks that the “Star Trek” franchise stays “among the most crucial franchises for Paramount Global, and Paramount+ particularly.”
Cheeks showed at the time that they might be finishing with Trek what Disney is making with Marvel of late– particularly, decreasing the timeline rollout of programs and preventing a lot of series simultaneously.
“Star Trek: Discovery” will introduce its 5th and last season on Thursday whilst a “Section 31” movie just recently covered production.
