Patrick Stewart is boldly going where he has been before.

As has been rumored for months, the actor has officially signed on to star in a new Star Trek series for CBS All Access in which he will reprise his role as Jean-Luc Picard. The new series will not be a reboot of The Next Generation but instead is being described as an exploration of the next chapter of Picard's life. Additional details about the new series, including its title, episode count or a premiere date, are being kept under wraps. The creative team for the newest Star Trek series includes Alex Kurtzman, who serves as showrunner on CBS All Access' Discovery and whose recent overall deal with CBS Television Studios included marching orders to expand the beloved and global franchise.

"With overwhelming joy, it’s a privilege to welcome Sir Patrick Stewart back to the Star Trek fold. For over 20 years, fans have hoped for the return of Captain Jean-Luc Picard and that day is finally here. We can’t wait to forge new ground, surprise people, and honor generations both new and old," said Kurtzman, who leads a creative team that also includes James Duff (The Closer, Major Crimes), Akiva Goldsman (Discovery), Michael Chabon (the John Carter writer who is also penning one of the recently announced Star Trek: Discovery shorts) and Kirsten Beyer (Discovery).

Stewart confirmed his return to the franchise Saturday at a Star Trek convention in Las Vegas, where he made a surprise appearance on stage.

"I will always be very proud to have been a part of Star Trek: The Next Generation, but when we wrapped that final movie in the spring of 2002, I truly felt my time with Star Trek had run its natural course," said Stewart, who will also exec produce the new series. "It is, therefore, an unexpected but delightful surprise to find myself excited and invigorated to be returning to Jean-Luc Picard and to explore new dimensions within him. Seeking out new life for him, when I thought that life was over. During these past years, it has been humbling to hear many stories about how The Next Generation brought people comfort, saw them through difficult periods in their lives or how the example of Jean-Luc inspired so many to follow in his footsteps, pursuing science, exploration and leadership. I feel I'm ready to return to him for the same reason — to research and experience what comforting and reforming light he might shine on these often very dark times. I look forward to working with our brilliant creative team as we endeavor to bring a fresh, unexpected and pertinent story to life once more."

Star Trek: The Next Generation ran for seven seasons and more than 170 episodes, earning 19 Emmys and a Peabody Award. Stewart would go on to star in a pair of Star Trek features — 1998's Star Trek: Insurrection and 2002's Star Trek: Nemesis as Picard.

Joining Stewart as exec producers on the new untitled Star Trek series are Kurtzman, Duff, Goldsman, Chabon, Kurtzman's Secret Hideout president Heather Kadin, Rod Roddenberry, the son of Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry and the CEO of Roddenberry Entertainment and Trevor Roth.

[James]

That's good. I'd been hoping they'd do a sequel to the TNG era. Continue the story into new ground.

[Calderyon]

YES!

My favorite captain.

[Scarlett.]

I'm glad they're finally going forward in the timeline, I like Discovery, but we've not really seen what happened after the Dominion war.

[Nicky91]

wow Picard legend :clap1:

[Scarlett.]

Apparently this series will be an ongoing series not a short on off series :o

unlike Star Trek Renegades which sadly never got that series it deserved :sad:

To be fair though, that was a fan film :p

[Nicky91]

To be fair though, that was a fan film :p

yeah, but i quite liked that, with some of the voyager cast members and Original series cast member Walter Koenig :flutter:

and Adrienne Wilkinson as Captain Lexxa Singh :love:

[Oliver_W]

I'm ashamed to saw I've never seen a single episode or movie from Star Trek :( Well I saw a couple of episodes of Discovery but didn't really like it. Patrick Stewart is awesome though, so I'll probably check this out, and some of Next Gen in preparation!

[Scarlett.]

All of Trek is worth checking out if you get into it, they did the whole cinematic universe thing before it was cool lol

[Nicky91]

All of Trek is worth checking out if you get into it, they did the whole cinematic universe thing before it was cool lol

yeah i also had the earliest star trek games 25th anniversary and Judgment Rites :love:

and then i moved into Armada 1 & 2, but also Elite Force and it's sequel

[Scarlett.]

Jonathan Frakes (aka Riker) has confirmed he will be directing on Picard's show

In an odd move, the Picard series is gonna air on Amazon Prime, not Netflix

[Ramsay]

That is strange indeed, looks like piratebay for me :/

[Scarlett.]

I wouldn't mind if they move all Star Trek over, but if they're splitting it, thats annoying. I dont mind too much as I have both

[bots]

there is some pretty good stuff on Amazon prime and this will add to it nicely

so basically you got the events from Nemesis, and then also the timeline from Star Trek 2009, destruction of Romulus

[Barry.]

Seen the movies, TV show with Patrick in it. Quite interested.

[James]

Not really a fan of the planet-destroying tech from the 2009 JJ-verse film being acknowledged in a main series.

Blowing up planets is more Star Wars than Trek.

i will be watching :banana:

[Scarlett.]

I can't believe so many are returning! I'd have been happy enough if it was just Picard, but with the others it will be amazing! I hope Seven is one of the main characters

[Calderyon]

Every trekkies dream?

[Calderyon]

I hope Amazon Prime accepts me as their customer.

[Scarlett.]

Every trekkies dream?

Yep! The best thing is, Picard and Data still seem like Picard and Data, unlike a certain Skywalker did... lol. Seven seems a lot more human, which makes a lot of sense :laugh:

[Scarlett.]

Spotted in that prison scene...

Borg rehab?

[Calderyon]

The girl fighting. Data's daughter Lal?

[Calderyon]

Only watched a very few episodes of Voyager so it's no wonder i didn't recognize her.

[Scarlett.]

The girl fighting. Data's daughter Lal?

I think she might be connected to the Borg somehow, she does kinda resemble Lal a bit though.

Seven came into Voyager in S3 I think

[Scarlett.]

Interesting, Hugh from the episode "I, Borg" is also returning

Better source for the trailer

Yeah I though she was Borg related, like an infiltrator.

I didn't really realise watching the trailer that the blonde woman was Seven of Nine.

'Data' must be B4 from Nemesis.

[Scarlett.]

The remains seen earlier in the trailer could be Data though, you can see some burn marks. I reckon we will see actual Data at some point, rebuilt.

[James]

Not sure there would be much left of him.

[Scarlett.]

Hmm true, not sure why they'd disassemble B4 though.

I just noticed those are Borg alcoves, and the guards are Romulans

[Nicky91]

ooh love all this new information


btw my dad will be delighted to see Seven again, since she's his favourite character from Voyager :amazed:

The Romulans weaponising The Borg? :shocked:

Looks like it, seems they have a facility in that Borg Cube. It was hinted that the Nerada from Star Trek '09 was equipped with Borg tech, which the Federation got a hold of, an accelerated their progress in the Kelvin timeline.

[Scarlett.]

According to Brent Spiner, the Android in the drawer is B4

[James]

It's a while since I saw Nemesis but I remember B4 was starting to act like Data at the end, or Data transferred some of his memories (film was basically a Wrath of Khan remake) so maybe he will be more like Data now.

[Oliver_W]

It doesn't really look very Star Trekky, it just looks like more of "Star Trek" Discovery ...

Also, I hate to be That Guy(tm) but I kind of rolled my eyes at the "she's the key to all this!!" stuff before we saw some girl doing martial arts. Is there some kind of directive where white guys aren't allowed to be the focus in their own series?

[Calderyon]

Now that it's been pointed out, Data's face looks quite odd.

[James]

but I kind of rolled my eyes at the "she's the key to all this!!" stuff before we saw some girl doing martial arts.

Yeah, the girl doing hand-to-hand combat is very much a 2010s blockbuster movie trope.

Star Trek isn't really about that kind of action. The JJ-verse films didn't understand that.

Clever Evil Move

[arista]

When is it on Amazon Prime UK?

Once of the most iconic scenes in TOS is Kirk fighting the Gorn :laugh: TNG had plenty of fight scenes... they just weren't well choreographed

I imagine the reason why Picard isn't fist fighting is because Patrick Stewart is 79 :laugh: not because of his gender or race

[Scarlett.]

Early 2020

HD has ruined that scene because you can see the stunt double :hehe:
