During Star Treks panel at Comic-Con Saturday, the franchise unveiled its first full look at Picard, the Next Generation revivalfocused on Patrick Stewarts beloved Enterprise captain Jean-Luc Picard.
The series marks Stewarts first time reprising the role since 2002s big screen Star Trek: Nemesis. Picking up 20 years after the events of that film, Picard finds the since-retired captain enduring an ordinary domestic life until he meets a young girl with uncanny powers.
I have encountered a woman, she came to me for help. If she is who I think she is, shes in serious danger, Picard says in the trailer.
In addition to introducing a new crew, Picard will feature some memorable faces from the Star Trek universe: Brent Spiners Data and Jeri Ryans Star Trek: Voyager character Seven of Nine both appear in the trailer, while the Comic-Con panel confirmed that Next Generation vets like Jonathan Frakes (Riker) and Marina Sirtis (Troi) will also return in some capacity.
