From Wikipedia
"Eight television series make up the bulk of the Star Trek mythos: Original Series, Animated Series, Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager, Enterprise, Discovery, Short Treks and Picard. All the series in total amount to 765 episodes across 35 seasons of television."
Do you guys think it will eventually hit 1000 episodes?
And does this only include Picard's first episode or all ten episodes for this season?

Maybe not as soon as you would think since what they call a "season" nowadays tends to be only half or less a standard season, and some shows are actually miniseries (8 episodes per "season") which are slightly less than a third of a season.
The 235 left to go before 1000 amounts to about 9 standard seasons, 18 of the cable-favorite half-seasons, 23.5 of the ten-episode ones, or about twenty nine and a third miniseries "seasons".

Let's say Picard keeps having 10 episode seasons , and so does Section 31, Lower Decks , ST: Nickledeon , ST: Pike , and ST: Starfleet Academy while Discovery has 14 esipodes for now on for the sake of keeping the math simple .
The is 24 more episodes in 2020 at least from TRIBBLE season 3 and Lower Decks. When Section 31 Season 1 comes out that is another 10.
If in 2021 Pike, ST: N, and ST: SFA all come out that is another 30 episodes, plus season 2 of Picard and Lower Decks, and Season 4 of Discovery added 34 more episodes. So far by 2021 we are at 98 new episodes.
2022 comes along and unless there are yet more new shows, collectively 74 new episodes, 2023 adds another 74, at which point we are at 246 new episodes which puts us over 1000 total episodes, not including any new short treks.
A series with Pike would probably generate enough interest judging from the petitions and whatnot, but CBS seems to be reluctant to do one and last I heard there are no solid plans for one in the pipe, so odds are that cuts it down to six shows (or the equivalent to five if both the cartoons are a half hour format), and the number could drop further considering how many shows just die in development (like for instance how Phase II did in the '70s).
Right now, DSC and PIC are already out, S31 has sets costumes and cast and a firm date to start shooting, so they can probably be counted for sure (at least for a season or two at minimum), and the others are still in the fuzzy stages of development. If it turns out those three are the only ones to actually make it to air it could be six years or so before the 1K point. Any of the others that makes it to air would of course cut that time done significantly if they last more than one season.
> That assumes that all seven are actually produced, and all of them survive long enough. The Nickelodeon show is likely to be a half-hour so it would only count for half when going for 1000 hour-long shows, and Lower Decks may even be half-hour too.

An Episode is an episode , they even included the short trek as epidodes , so no length requirements .
Yet Hollywood makes the distinction between half-hour and hour long show in most everything else, so it seems appropriate to apply it here.
If you really want to look at it in half-hour episode terms and call it the same as hour-long episodes in worth then some half-hour shows got really crazy numbers of episodes per season. The Patty Duke Show averaged 34.6 episodes per season for instance, and the second season of the '60s live action Batman ran to sixty half-hour "episodes" (though the stories themselves were hour-to-ninety minutes each in serial format), which makes the paltry 10 episode seasons of Lower Decks look even more miserly.

Anger management had I believe 100 episodes in it's second season.
