We just have to hope they are willing to invest, and to fire the current show runners
Fixed that for you.
Also, on a more serious note, I know it runs counter to modern day TV, but I would argue the very last thing Trek needs to be is a franchise. TNG was novel because it was all that was on the air at the time. By the time they got to ENT the franchise was burned out and ratings reflected it. I have a lot of issues with NuTrek, but I do really enjoy SNW, can find redeeming things about DSC, but if they try to make it into the Trek version of the Marvel Universe or copy what Disney has done with Star Wars they're going to burn it the fuck out.
Star Trek has been franchised and Multi-Versed and Alternate-Timelined to death. It's all dreck now. Paramount needs reminding that the well can go dry.
Cancel everything and let the fields lay fallow for a few years.
Then start one new series. ONE. Set it on a new Enterprise (it always has to be the Enterprise), with a new crew. And don't fuck it up by choosing a crew based on The Current Thing. Shoot for a 5 year mission, and thus five seasons. End it after 5. No movies. Lather. Rinse. Repeat every decade or so.
