This was the rundown of the show's development in January:
The original logline released at Comic-Con 2024 said the show is about “Federation outsiders serving a gleaming resort planet find out their day-to-day exploits are being broadcast to the entire quadrant.” Newsome has previously clarified that the resort isn’t Risa, noting “I think it’s going to answer some questions about what non-Federation [worlds] look like.” Last year, Newsome told TrekMovie the concept had evolved since then but confirmed she would star in the show (as a new character), and the comedy series would be set in the early 25th century, following the events of Star Trek: Picard.
I dunno, Newsome has been one of the breakout talents of the latest Trek generation. She was solid on LDS, and her contributions to SFA were standouts in season 1 I think.
I would've loved to see what she had to offer as writer/lead on a live action comedy. She wasn't exactly confident the show would be picked up when the article was written, though:
“The conversations that I have had is, ‘Hey, we finished writing it,’ and everyone said, ‘Yep, we love it.’ And then we turned it in, and then it was Christmas…. The business is in an interesting place right now… Who knows?”
Seeing how there is no Trek in current production and Secret Hideout seems to be out, things are even more up in the air by all accounts 😕
We survived the dark age from 2005-2017 (not you, Kelvinverse movies) and we'll do it again.
