Yeoh may be out as primary cast, but I could see a Section 31 series moving forward. The question would be 'in what time period', since...
[SPOILERS FOR DISCO SEASON 3] ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...Empress Georgiou got sent to an undetermined year - likely 23rd Century - by the Guardian of Forever. I think the real key to a Section 31 show would be finding a team of writers who could channel more of the DS9-style of writing and less NuTrek. I'd seen buzzing about a Starfleet Academy series, but I think that was going to be set either concurrent with SNW or sometime in the years spanning LD/Picard. Frankly, I'd be up for a series following the crew of the Titan-A once S3 of Picard is done - I'm quickly gaining appreciation for the bridge crew (although keeping Jeri Ryan as Commander Hansen/Seven of Nine would be a must). But then again, I'd also watch a show about O'Brien fixing leaking conduits all day, so who am I to say?
