This weekend, it’s all about ‘Star Wars‘, but the other major space franchise, ‘Star Trek‘ has some goodies cooking up for the New Year, and one that most are looking forward to is ‘Star Trek: Picard’, the new CBS All Access which brings Sir Patrick Stewart back to his most famous role, as Admiral Jean-Luc Picard. On the series, a new danger draws the retired Picard back into active duty and the new show promises to deliver loads of action and character development.
While it’s brief, CBS All Access has released a new trailer, which focuses on the action. You can check it out below:
Jeri Ryan returns as ‘Star Trek: Voyager’s Seven of Nine. ‘Picard’ will also include cameo appearances by Jonathan Frakes as Will Riker (Frakes is also directing episodes of the show), Marina Sirtis as Deanna Troi, Brent Spiner as Data, and Jonathan Del Arco as Hugh the Borg. Ryan isn’t considered a regular cast member, but it would seem that out of the old school ‘Trekkers, she will figure the most prominently.
