James McAvoy almost launched a series about young Picard
The actor presented the Mutiny On the Stargazer project on the Happy Sad Confused podcast.
James McAvoy said he seriously pitched a Star Trek spin-off series focusing on the early years of Jean-Luc Picard. The project, titled Mutiny On the Stargazer, was to take the form of a miniseries and was presented to the rights holders on the Happy Sad Confused podcast.
According to the actor, the idea was ambitious but ultimately fell through for logistical reasons. No filming was started and the concept remains a proposal. According to Screen Wide, the project might have come to fruition before it fell apart.
