Personally, I really hope that Saru makes the transition to Starfleet Academy. I love him to bits and Doug Jones could do a ton more with his character if given the chance. I also suspect, due to the way Picard ended, that Brent Spiner's Data in some form or another might show up as an instructor, maybe as a guest star. I'd actually really like to see a Lore-influenced-Data bringing the snark in a classroom. Data's earnestness and Lore's sense of humor are especially charming when combined together, and we only saw a bit of it at the end of Picard. And I'd love to see Saru and Data interacting.
Pelia is also long-lived enough to show up, and she was an instructor prior to becoming the Enterprise's Engineer. They've already set her up to be replaced by Scotty, so I could see the actress moving to Starfleet Academy, since we already know her time on the Enterprise is limited.
Unrelated to Starfleet Academy, I do notice there's no word on a post-Picard series starring Seven of Nine--I hope that's mostly because the strikes disrupted early planning or something.
But they set Picard up perfectly to spawn a new series from that and I'd absolutely LOVE to see Seven of Nine as Captain of her own Starfleet ship, and Jack would make an interesting foil to Wesley as the cocky ensign. I think with the topic of AI being a thing now, and all the loose ends with the Borg and with Data's offspring (and Data himself), we could actually really use right now a series that talks a lot about AI. I imagine interaction with Jurati-Borg could be an ongoing arc. And Soji could appear and we could get some interaction with Data to tie off that storyline.
I hadn’t considered Pelia still being alive, but it’s a cool idea.
They could even do a story arc with the cadets joining Kovich and other familiar faces in tracking her down. Bryce and Reno, both engineers, would have certainly had her as a prof at the Academy. Might be a great season two story once Pelia’s moved on from SNW.
