It's not really a prequel then though, they're just using existing characters for their own story. At that point, write new characters too.
I completely agree they should do new characters.
As this is a green field of the unknown events of Kirk’s early career who is to say an alternate timeline that gets confidently wrapped up by dropping the crew back into the currently time is not what happened.
All it takes is come creative writings to wrap all that up.
It could be good, and if it's anything like Strange New Worlds it will be, but dropping them back to the main timeline still means that the bridge crew can't die. There was an episode early on in Strange New Worlds where I think it was Spock, Uhura, and another crew member were in danger. We immediately knew that Spock and Uhura couldn't die or be seriously injured, and it took a lot of the tension out of the episode, for me at least.
