During the company’s All Access Upfronts presentation today, CBS announced the official title of Patrick Stewart’s upcoming Jean-Luc Picard series: “Star Trek: Picard.” The logo was also revealed in a short teaser posted on the official Star Trek Twitter account.
Those who attended the event got to see some early footage, which reportedly involved Jean-Luc Picard encountering a Starfleet officer who had no idea who he was. Executive producer Alex Kurtzman recently told the LA Times it would be a “psychological show, a character study about this man in his emeritus years.”
Stewart will star in Star Trek: Picard, reprising his role as the venerable Captain Jean-Luc Picard, which he played for seven seasons on Star Trek: Next Generation. The series will follow this iconic character in the next chapter of his life.
