Star Trek Fans, Rejoice: Captain Picard Is Boldly Going Back to His Small-Screen Home
The Captain is back! Patrick Stewart has officially signed on to reprise his iconic role as Jean-Luc Picard for the new Star Trek series on CBS All Access.
Stewart played Captain Picard for all seven seasons of The Next Generation, as well as in four films.
The new show will not be a reboot of Star Trek: The Next Generation, but an exploration of the next chapter of Picard's life.
Considering the number of reboots that have been popping up lately, this is definitely a refreshing concept for TV fans!We first heard about a new Star Trek series in June, when it was announced that Star Trek: Discovery co-creator/executive producer Alex Kurtzman had signed a five-year deal to oversee the expansion of the Star Trek franchise.
This entailed the development of a new series, mini-series, and other content.
Stewart confirmed the speculation about his return to the Star Trek
