Matalas: Star Trek: Legacy Would Change If Greenlit Now
Terry Matalas says his Star Trek: Legacy concept would differ if Paramount+ greenlit it today, and he'd be open to running the Star Trek franchise.
Terry Matalas says his concept for Star Trek: Legacy would not be exactly the same if Paramount+ greenlit the spinoff today. Too much time has passed since Star Trek: Picard season 3, he said, for the project to return unchanged.
Matalas also said he would be open to becoming the executive producer running the Star Trek franchise if offered the job. The comments, reported by Screen Rant, come as Star Trek: Picard season 3's ending continues to fuel fan interest in a follow-up.
That season closed with a setup for a spinoff Matalas dubbed Star Trek: Legacy. Despite three years of fan support, Paramount+ did not move forward with the project.
Matalas wrote roughly 30 pages of the pilot, focusing on Captain Seven of Nine, Ensign Jack Crusher and the USS Enterprise-G. He has said the show would have centered on the Klingons and the father/son relationship between Worf and Alexander.
Meanwhile, Matalas was tapped by Kevin Feige as showrunner of Marvel Studios' Vision Quest, which premieres October 14 on Disney+. Alex Kurtzman's contract to oversee Star Trek is up by the end of 2026.
