As for more modern shows that could come back in the same form: Dark Matter (was pretty fun - got cancelled just as it looked like it was going to hit its stride), Black Mirror (seems to have been mothballed for now), and Red Dwarf.

Oh, and the big one: pre-Kurtzman Star Trek. Just reset the timeline, apologise to fans, and pretend everything after Enterprise never happened.

SyFy and cancelling Sci-Fi shows, name a better duo.

Black Mirror isn't cancelled: Black Mirror Returns: New Series in the Works at Netflix - Variety

Watch Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, it's great.

I hadn't seen that news about Black Mirror! Last I heard was Booker had sort of stepped away and so it was in limbo. Hopefully the new season turns out good.

I don't agree about SNW - it's 4/10 at best. The Kurtzman lot are pretending to 'get' Star Trek (which they think = more bright colours & lens flare, the Federation giving sermons, and the show being episodic), while continuing to do their thing; gradually the latter will increasingly drown out their reluctant attempts to do the former anyway. There's still almost zero crew discipline, it's full of childish & contrived 'action' scenes and stupid decision-making, and episodes 7-9 are all self-indulgent messes. The season finale was the best episode - solid 7/10 stuff there. Hopefully season 2 is more like that and less like episodes 6-9.

At least we're spared Discovery's endless crying, whispering, and crew mental breakdowns, so there's certainly been some progress.
