Star Trek: Picard tells the next story of Picard’s life, which takes place after the events of Star Trek: Next Generation. The series is being led by Sir Patrick Stewart as he returns to the Star Trek Universe to reprise one of his most iconic roles as Jean-Luc Picard.
“Season 2 takes the legendary Jean-Luc Picard and his crew on a bold and exciting new journey: into the past,” reads the synopsis. “Picard must enlist friends both old and new to confront the perils of 21st century Earth in a desperate race against time to save the galaxy’s future – and face the ultimate trial from one of his greatest foes.”
Joining Stewart are returning franchise alums including Brent Spiner as Data and Star Trek: Voyager‘s Jeri Ryan as Seven of Nine along with Alison Pill, Isa Briones, Evan Evagora, Michelle Hurd, Santiago Cabrera, and Orla Brady. The new installment will also feature John de Lancie, Whoopie Goldberg, and Annie Wersching.
