Is there a series about Captain Kirk?

After Sir Patrick Stewart has returned to the camera, fans are now looking at other "Star Trek" ancient rocks. Specifically, William Shatner was faced with the question of whether he would slip back into the iconic role of Captain Kirk . He made a clear statement on Twitter:

No. I think Kirk's story is pretty well played out at this point. https://t.co/30qVk9uxKN

"No. I think Captain Kirk's story is fully told at this point," Shatner writes. With this very disappointing answer, the hopes of the fans should also evaporate. Unless someone else acts as Kirk, like Chris Pine in "Star Trek Beyond" . It is questionable whether the fans would be satisfied with it.
