While I'm sure they have the right to do so, I don't think this show will take place in the TOS era. If I'm a betting man, I'd say this show takes place after the events of the last original TNG adventure "Nemesis". That allows them to have their own bit of patch to play with in the Trek Prime universe that doesn't intersect or interfere with the films.
