Highly unlikely, I think. The rumors I've heard are that it'll either be between the TOS Movies and TNG at first or it'll be in the JJverse. But those are just rumors.
It is my sincere hope that the series is an anthology series which visits many ships, stations, and outposts in the Federation while showing us many races and cultures along the way. I have never liked the 'Hill Street Blues' approach to storytelling that almost every TV Drama has taken. The 'episodic' format leaves much more room for exploration, and if you have to work, have family obligations, or just meet a sweetie and forget what time it happens to be and miss an episode, you aren't lost when you do get a chance to tune in again..

Birth, Movies Death floated it out and a lot of other articles are sourcing that. But the "confirmation" is essentially a discussion of the other prevalent rumor that the Fuller series will be set post Undiscovered Country, looks to have Klingon villains again and ... this is the important part in terms of the rumors ... will be done as an anthology type series ala True Detective, changing casts and potentially time periods each subsequent season (which means a season MAY be set in the past and in the JJ Abrams alternate timeline since it's Trek).

Hrm. Sounds...interesting. Not sure how well that will work in practice but more Trek is more Trek as far as I'm concerned.
klingon villains are to be expected...very few would want to be making nice with the federation even after the signing of the khitomer accords - at least until the romulans attack narendra 3 and the enterprise shows up to aid the klingons

See I would like to see those things but Im also hoping they take the chance and throw in a season where we're on a Romulan ship and one for a Klingon one, maybe a smattering of other races taking the center stage from time to time. Show how THEY handle X or Y and perceive the Federation.
an entire season? not likely...you'd be far more likely to get a single episode from a mainly alien PoV like A Matter of Honor, Face of the Enemy and Return to Grace were

most modern show's seasons average around 18 episodes...i'd hardly call that 'abysmally short'
compared to the 26-30 they used to be? Yeah abysmally short, especially when combined with the fact that hour long episodes of a show USED to be 55min, but are now closer to 43.
i've seen a fair few old shows, chief among them being things like gilligan's island, golden girls, hogan's heroes, macgyver, married with children, M*A*S*H and the original hanna barbra version of scooby-doo...of them, gilligan's island and hogan's heroes are the only ones that actually went above 26 eps/season
the whole 45 minute thing might be new, but seasons having anywhere from 18-24 episodes on average? that's nowhere NEAR a new thing

a quick google search shows 30ep listed in s1 TOS Trek, but the point was we're loosing shows per season steadily, and we're loosing time per show steadily.

Umm no, did you not just catch that shows like MacGiver, Knight Rider, Dukes of Hazard etc had 22-24 episodes a season. Not steadily losing anything. Been like that for over 30 years.

If they're using the newer model, ala Netflix and HBO shows like Jessica Jones and True Detective, it could end up being something like 13 episodes.
Which I'm fine with. The shift in television programming that this show could be and could do, ends up tapping into something I believe is healthy for Star Trek (and resonates with a lot of fans who still point to the last season of DS9 as one of the best Trek driven things ever) ... and that's a longer narrative.
A 24 episode season like in the olden days had a lot of timing issues and fractured any attempt to do an ongoing metaplot. Granted they didn't do that back then. But if they had tried to have an overall metaplot, ala X-Files, it would have created a lot of headaches. Many episodes in TNG for instance, were swapped in the order for all sorts of reasons. TOS aired episodes not in the order they were filmed. It's just basic television programming stuff.
But these days? A tight, overall, driving 13 episode narrative that because it's only one season obligation (and thus ends up being more like an extended movie) can attract top level film talent for the cast?
I'm very much on board for CBS to try to follow the True Detective model. I think it can open a type of Star Trek experience that blows us all away in terms of storytelling and quality and really let the show go in amazing directions!
But seriously? At the end of the day ... GUYS, GALS and ALIENS WHO FREQUENT THIS FORUM ... WE'RE GETTING A NEW STAR TREK SHOW! HELLZ YEAH!

No, I read the quote on three different sites and none of them had the information you claim, so either we're using different source quotes, or several someone's are guilty of very very very bad internet-journalism. Sadly the latter is more likely
Really...??
I found the original quote in about 10 seconds...
(from a March 8th, article)
"...We announced Star Trek, and internationally, we basically have covered 60% of the cost of the show already. To make up that [other] 40%, it’s not going to take a whole lot of subscriptions, and it says to the world that we are very serious about this...."
ahh so we're both interpreting the statement very differently then. Because I don't see that as excluding new "all access" membership purchases within the U.S. market in addition to their international means of distribution
He says "INTERNATIONAL SALES" had aready covered 60% of the cost of the show.
Then goes on to say that it's not going to take a whole lot of CBS All-Access Subscriptions, to cover the remaining 40%.
No where in that article does he say that "Subscriptions" have increased already, due to the Trek-2017 announcement.
You're reading more into what was said, than is there.
no, I just dont think that the 'international sales" excludes sales domestically. I think its a lump sum of all sales, which would be referred to as international, since USA is one among many.
INTERNATIONAL means OUTSIDE OF THE USA.
There won't be any DOMESTIC SALES, since they are going to show it on their Own Service.
(Domestic sales would be to local TV stations like Syndication is)
It will be SUBSCRIPTION SALES here in the USA and the only thing he said about that, was that it won't take many of those to recoup the leftover 40% of the costs.
I'm going to assume that English is not your first language, as I really did spell it out pretty plainly for you in my first post.

Dude are you dense... they didn't get 60% of the money from CBS all access... what he said was that they already had 60% of funding already and that the other 40% would come from subs from CBS all access.....

existing, occurring, or carried on between two or more nations:
"international trade"
which can, in fact, include the country of origin for which the object in question (in this case, CBS AA subs) originated
so no, it does NOT mean 'outside the USA'
But Moonface was specifically speaking of OVERSEAS SALES, not Domestic sales.
Why in hell do you think they would be selling it to themselves????
Again, there will not be any domestic sales as they are showing it on their own service.
It will be SUBSCRIPTION SALES.

When TV executives talk about International sales, they are almost always referring to sales outside of the United States.

Especially when you aren't with the program.
The CEO said that they have covered 60% of the cost of the show with International Sales... Those ARE NOT Subscriptions.
They are sales to overseas Television Studios, that will pay to run the show on their airwaves. (like Syndication here in the USA)
He also said that the left over 40% of the costs will be covered by Subscriptions here in the USA on their All Access Service.
Do you get it now?
kodachikuno was indicating that he felt that Moonface was saying that the 60% came from both sales OUT of the USA and sales IN the USA, which is simply not the case.

Yeah... that article draws some interesting conclusion from things that were never said... along with coming out long before the TV teaser that goes out of its way to ape the style of the Star Trek 2009 credits.
I put the odds about 60/40 it WILL be set in the AR (and about another 15% beyond that the first season will be written in a way that neither confirms nor denies which timeline it belongs to...) but at this point the contents of that little Schrödinger's box is far from certain.

I put the odds about 60/40 it WILL be set in the AR (and about another 15% beyond that the first season will be written in a way that neither confirms nor denies which timeline it belongs to...) but at this point the contents of that little Schrödinger's box is far from certain.
Look at something like Luther or Black Mirror. Or Sherlock.
