Larry Nemecek has a bit more info on his own website.

We had a brilliant story set during the Great Fire of London, written by the powerhouse team of Laurence Clark and Jack Thorne, and we should have had the budget to do it properly, with the flames and panic and everything.

Honestly sounds pretty great.

And we had a brutal horror story, written by the brilliant Lydia Adetunji, set on a NASA-type space station, all about trypophobia – look it up, it’ll make you shiver!

This one, too.

There was a really lovely episode set on a council estate in the middle of Manchester. That would have been the ultimate place to bring the Doctor; I would have just loved to see that. It was written by Sharma Angel-Walfall, who’s lived that life. It was like Doctor Who meets the film Rocks.

This would probably be fine? Not too exciting to read about, but then I've never seen "Rocks."

I wonder if these scripts will ever see the light of day in one format or another.

See, this is why you'll never be an executive.

It's a wide field, but it's not a deep field.

I have no idea what the situation is, but I'm glad they're (a) still planning to air the second season, and (b) are willing to promote it.

It was picked up very early for Season 2, which has yet to air, and then cancelled.

Blame the black hole's time dilation.

Looking at the website, there are a couple of Trek-related things TrekCore didn't mention:

South Concourse Cosplay Meetups

Come dressed as your favorite Star Trek character, show off your best uniform, or simply stop by to meet fellow Trekkies and cosplayers. All Star Trek series, eras, and characters are welcome! While cosplay is highly encouraged, it’s never required.

Yeah, I suppose if he has a production company, it's one of those "for legal purposes" entities - I don't imagine there's a lot of infrastructure attached.

Deadline’s list of bidders is by no means exhaustive and other interested parties may yet emerge.

Not surprising, but mildly disappointing for that exact reason!

I don't really know these names, but they seem like serious bids.

I can't help but wonder if J. Michael Straczynski has thrown his hat in the ring - I think he even lives in the UK now.

The literal Timeless Child...

It doesn't really make a lot of sense to run multiple streamers. It's kind of wild that Disney is still keeping Hulu alive, despite a heavy degree of integration.

It's a pretty big project, though - could take years.
