Not if Jack Crusher is the principal character.
Legacy could be many things but the proposal presented in the finale of Picard wouldn’t really serve as a Voyager sequel in my view.
What’s was pitched in the backdoor pilot embedded in Picard and in post-season interviews was for the Titanprise to engage on a nostalgia tour. The hero’s journey however was clearly set up to be Jack’s and not Seven’s. This could give us cameos of Voyager characters, but it would be beyond a stretch to see it as a sequel to Voyager or DS9.
On the other hand, if the idea that Kurtzman floated in a magazine interview this spring were greenlit we would get a loose Legacy anthology of one-shots, limited series and direct to streaming movies that could tell stories focused on legacy characters and ensembles - presumably including one focused on Janeway.
As a vehicle to serve legacy characters and locations, I believe Kurtzman’s proposal is superior and won’t limit us to just the early 25th century.
I do nonetheless see that there’s strong interest in some kind of new early 25th century show that moves forward from Picard season three. I just don’t think that it can be all things to all nostalgic fans in a 10 episode season without again sidelining Seven and the other Titanprise officers.
I thought it was Akivas proposal?
Not sure which you’re referring to.
The backdoor pilot in seasons three of Picard is very much Terry Matalas proposal.
The mix of one-shots, direct to streaming movies and mini/limited series for legacy characters across all the eras is something that Kurtzman described in an interview this March with SFX Magazine. TrekMovie recovered the key messages in an article that’s not behind a paywall.
If there was an interview with Akiva Goldsman describing something similar to Kurtzman, it would be great to have that report.
I thought you mean Akiva's "Tales of the Federation" pitch
