I have little doubt about it being set in the Abrams universe given the producers. Sigh, poor Prime universe never gets any love. Outside of the MMO and novels anyway…
Saddest part about this is waiting to see why it inevitably fails. Either because the show stinks and or because of the awful choice of venue.
Either way, they’ll mark it up as due to lack of interest and it’ll be another decade or more before we even get a chance at another series.
