This Thursday, CBS All Access is going to premiere Picard, the official return of Sir Patrick Stewart as Jean-Luc Picard in a new Star Trek Adventure. Even the Trek fans who aren’t drawn to Star Trek: Discovery are excited for a return to stories featuring characters from Star Trek: Next Generation. That’s a great thing, because other than Star Trek, there isn’t a lot to pull people into the streamer’s $10 per month subscription fees, especially when you stack it up against Netflix, Prime, Hulu, and Disney+.
STAR TREK: PICARD features Sir Patrick Stewart reprising his iconic role as “Jean-Luc Picard,” which he played for seven seasons on “Star Trek: The Next Generation.” The new series will follow this iconic character into the next chapter of his life. Alongside Stewart, STAR TREK: PICARD will also star Isa Briones, Santiago Cabrera, Michelle Hurd, Alison Pill, Harry Treadaway and Evan Evagora. The series is produced by CBS Television Studios in association with Secret Hideout and Roddenberry Entertainment. Alex Kurtzman, Michael Chabon, Akiva Goldsman, James Duff, Patrick Stewart, Heather Kadin, Rod Roddenberry and Trevor Roth serve as executive producers and Aaron Baiers (Secret Hideout) serves as co-executive producer and Kirsten Beyer as supervising producer. Hanelle Culpepper directed the first two episodes of the series.
STAR TREK: PICARD will air exclusively on CBS All Access in the United States and will be distributed concurrently internationally by CBS Studios International on Amazon Prime Video in more than 200 countries and territories and in Canada on Bell Media’s cable networks, Space and Z, and OTT service Crave.
