Any word on the setting and how the alternate timeline reset of the of 2009 movie fits into the cannon?

It seems like there are couple possibilities. 1) They act like the reset in the 2009 movie didn't happen, and the new show is just set sometime after TNG/DS9/Voyager, with the same continuity.

2) Everything is reset and we get a new show set sometime after the reset.

I guess there is this: >The new television series is not related to the upcoming feature film Star Trek Beyond which is scheduled to be distributed by Paramount Pictures in summer 2016.

Hopefully this will be a look forward beyond Voyager rather than going back again..

Personally, I don't see anything wrong with going for an alternate timeline and a modern take on starship design. As long as they don't turn Star Trek into an action franchise, I'm okay with it.

Can't wait to see what it will be like, was entertained by every series so far. Hopefully more like most of the series and less like the new movies.

Your wish is unlikely to come true, as the new series is being written/produced by the head writer of the last two movies.

Oh god, that would be tragic.

Unless they put it in the alternate timeline, which it doesn't sound like they will given this quote:

...they'd have to some serious retconning to place it anywhere before Voyager. Too much existing canon to take into account when writing the scripts.

I have always been interested in watching Star Trek, having watched some of Deep Space Nine with my dad and thinking it was okay when I was really young in addition to enjoying the new movies. I figure now is a good time seeing as this is coming out in a little over a year. Any suggestions as to what order I should watch it in or if I should avoid any of the series?
