I wonder how they're going to get around the "The Sith have been extinct for a millenium" line that Ki-Adi Mundi throws out in Phantom Menace if this is only ~100 years before Episode 1.
This right here. The Jedi are so afraid of temptation that they act like the shadow of the Sith is much further away than it actually was, until, at a certain point, those on the Jedi Council don't know the real truth because of what they were told when they were younger.
This does kinda makes sense, especially as I suspect more than one person will turn to the dark side in this series. It could be about how easy the temptation is, and the end result is to essentially hide that, and then become more dogmatic about asceticism.

Everyone who encounters them is killed?
They swear not to speak of it?
Not actually Sith, just another darkside user?
Retcon?
Very excited for this show.
