Back to the prime universe, baby!
Taking into consideration that DSC is prime (officially), and factoring in how unlike prime DSC was… I’d hold off on assuming just about anything outside the fact that Patrick Stewart will possibly be involved in some capacity in a series tied to the cross-media ‘Star Trek’ franchise, and perhaps that ‘some capacity’ will involve him playing a character named ‘Picard’.
We’ve yet to see CBS do anything right with their ‘new’ take on Trek, so no reason to believe this will be anything different.
