They probably won’t, especially considering that the first version of the pitch has already been rejected.
But…the reason for that rejection has been addressed, and this seems like this show would have a unique identity, which has been a priority.
And frankly, this seems like a more interesting concept to me than any of the other not-quite-pitches that have come from creators over the last few years.
I’m finding Sussman is doing a better job of tempting fans:
Once again, as Sussman noted in his recent TrekMovie podcast interview, “this is not a real television show,” which he also made clear to Andy Probert. Even so, the idea remains intriguing enough for the veteran designer to keep sketching — and for Sussman to remain hopeful that the new Skydance team at Paramount will want to revisit Star Trek: United. “I think Scott said it best at the [Las Vegas] convention, right?” he noted. “Who knows what will happen?”
