Star Trek: LeVar Burton Could See "Legacy" After "Starfleet Academy"

LeVar Burton (Trivial Pursuit) believes that if Star Trek: Legacy is going to happen, Paramount will focus on it after Starfleet Academy.

Just as those far and wide from within the Trek community and beyond were patting Picard season three showrunner Terry Matalas on the back on a job well done, he pitched a continuation and teased it in the final scene with Michelle Hurd, Jeri Ryan, and Ed Speleers fly off in the U.S.S. "I think [Patrick] was reflecting, genuinely, the sentiment—then and now, at least for us, the cast—and the audience, two years on, seem to be just as interested in the idea of 'Legacy' as when 'Picard' was just airing," Burton said (via TrekMovie) but admitted, "I'm not close to the brain trust over there, but I see that they are all in on 'Starfleet Academy.' This leaves Starfleet Academy as the only new active series in development, as Tawny Newsome's live-action Star Trek with Justin Simien still hasn't gotten the official green light.
