Star Trek: Strange New World's showrunners are quietly campaigning for a project that would, in a way, keep the series going even after it ends with season 5.
TAS is the 4th season of TOS - with some of the scripts adapted from the prep for a live-action TOS season 4 that never happened. (Yes, TAS IS canon!)
Now, we know that Arex and M’Ress are difficult to bring to live action, but who’s to say that their rotations on Enterprise aren’t done, and Chekov isn’t back, as year 5 begins?
The Animated Series that ran in the mid 70s although it was originally just called ‘Star Trek.’
It had the same cast as TOS. Roddenberry was the showrunner again (after leaving before season 3 of TOS) and DC Fontana was the Supervising Editor in charge of the scripts.
At 22 episodes total, and only 6 in TAS second season, it could go either way.
I am willing to concede so that those who don’t love TAS much as I do can get their proper closure to the 5 year mission.
And then there’s part of me that very much wants Vanguard to be the new, darker station-based serialized ensemble show to fill the DS9 niche we haven’t quite had in this era.

Usually it stands for “the animated series.”
I always figured TAS was the final two years of the five-year mission…
