The CBS All Access show has been renewed for its second season, marking Patrick Stewart’s second return to the Trek universe in 18 years.
“We wanted it to be a real-time follow-up to where we last saw Picard,” executive producer Akiva Goldsman commented at New York Comic Con. “We wanted to let the ensuing years that have happened for us also have happened for Jean-Luc. We spent a lot of time, collaboratively, filling in the intervening years. We know pretty much everything that happened in those 20 years. … I include in ‘we,’ Patrick, who is the singular expert in Picard.”
The first season will debut on January 23 on CBS All Access.
