It follows Jean-Luc Picard, retired Starfleet captain (and former star of Star Trek: The Next Generation) as he is wrangled out of his life of comfort to help a young woman with a mysterious connection to his past.

Returning stars from the classic franchise include Patrick Stewart as Picard, Brent Spiner as Data, Jonathan Frakes as William Riker, Marina Sirtis as Deanna Troi, Jonathan Del Arco as Hugh and Jeri Ryan as former Borg drone, Seven of Nine.

He’s not on a starship. He’s haunted by tragedies of years past. He’s drinking a lot more wine these days. But it would be fair to say that, deep down, Captain Jean-Luc Picard is not a man truly changed when we meet him again in the premiere of Star Trek: Picard. That’s not the question we should be asking, anyway: Is it the Federation that’s changed instead?”]
