It seems that CBS senior executives really wanted a show with Patrick Stewart as Picard.
Many attempts to pitch a show were made but it wasn’t until Chabon flattered him into reading a concept that Stewart would even meet with the creators.
CBS and other studios had access to the state grants to incent the major streamers to keep production in California and made the choice to blow theirs on Picard.
