It seems Jean-Luc Picard won't spend the entirety of his new Star Trek series hanging out in France, making wine. A new set of photos out of the Star Trek: Picard panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2019 take the legendary captain back to space and give more of a look at what we can expect when the series goes to warp later this year.
Before Comic-Con, we knew precious little about the new Picard series, which will air exclusively on CBS's streaming service, CBS All Access, just like Star Trek: Discovery and the upcoming animated series Star Trek: Lower Decks. Picard was the captain from Star Trek: The Next Generation and four Star Trek movies that followed it, played by Patrick Stewart. We last saw the character back in 2004 in Star Trek: Nemesis when he was still a captain.
The Enterprise crew from Star Trek: TNG more or less disbanded at that point, but the panel at Comic-Con revealed that Picard will feature several Star Trek alumni, including Brent Spiner (Data on TNG), Jeri Ryan (Seven of Nine on Star Trek: Voyager), Jonathan Del Arco (Hugh on TNG), Jonathan Frakes (Will Riker on TNG), and Marina Sirtis (Deanna Troi on TNG). The panel also saw the release of a new trailer for Star Trek: Picard.
A teaser trailer released in May for Picard explained that Picard went on to become an admiral in Starfleet before retiring. The teaser's voice-over narration states that Picard led the "largest rescue armada" in Federation history 15 years before the show, and apparently saved a lot of lives in doing so. But something tragic also happened during that event, which resulted in Picard abandoning the life of an explorer for a simpler, more terrestrial existence. It's a retirement we saw hinted at back during the series finale of TNG, "All Good Things," which showed a flash-forward of Picard tending his family's vineyard in France.
Check out all the photos above, and check out the rest of our full Picard and Star Trek coverage on our Comic-Con hub.
