Star Trek Series must wait 6 months after Star Trek Beyond

"The decision was made to avoid confusion in the marketplace"

With the new movie Star Trek Beyond set to be released July of 2016, CBS President Les Moonves revealed that a deal was made to wait 6 months before the release of the Star Trek TV series.

"When [CBS] split from Viacom ten years ago, January 1, 2006, one of the big sticking points, as you can imagine, was "Star Trek", said Moonves, You know, we both wanted it. [Paramount] said "It's a movie!" and I said, "No, no, no, it's a TV show." Actually, we're both right. So they kept the feature film rights, we kept the television rights; they have [Star Trek Beyond] coming out July 22. Our deal with them is that we had to wait six months after their film is launched so there wouldn't be a confusion in the marketplace."

The series is not connected to the movies whatsoever even though it is being produced by Star Trek and Star Trek: Into Darkness co-writer Alex Kurtzman. Paramount will have the option in the future to create a 4th movie, if it chooses, before the franchise gets passed to the series.

Will the new Star Trek Series Re-Boot TNG??

Will they Re-Boot Star Trek TNG??

Now that Bryan Fuller from Star Trek past has come aboard the new show will it be Star Trek from the old universe that Fuller helped create or will it be Star Trek in the new universe that Kurtzman helped create? Or maybe they will mix the old with the new.

Alex Kurtzman made his name in the Star Trek franchise through the JJ Abrams directed films of new, whereas Bryan Fuller has been part of the television series from the past like DS9 and Voyager. What does this mean exactly?? Well Fuller was quoted as saying: "I think there's something very exciting about the new J.J. Abrams-verse, and there's also kind of an interesting reinvention, how would ('Star Trek: The Next Generation') evolve from that? Where would that be? Where would that go? Star Trek is such a big universe, and there are so many places to go with it. I have a very specific idea that I would love to do."

It has been rumored that the new series from Kurtzman and Fuller will "introduce new characters and civilizations, existing outside of the mythology charted by previous series and the current movie franchises." So technically a JJ-verse TNG reboot would probably fall outside the existing mythology but maybe not enough to do a new TV series. What do you think about this premise? Would you like to see a JJ-verse TNG??
