Star Trek: Picard will tell the next story of Picard's
life, taking place after Star Trek: Next Generation. Plot
details are being kept under wraps, but Star Trek:
Discovery creator Alex Kurtzman revealed in March that it
will be "a very different show from Discovery." He also
mentioned that the series will be a "very thoughtful,
psychological portrait in a lot of ways... Things have
changed for [Picard] and changed him in some ways, and
yet he is so deeply and fundamentally still Picard."

The cast also includes Santiago Cabrera (Big Little Lies),
Michelle Hurd (Blindspot), Evan Evagora (Fantasy Island), 
Alison Pill (The Newsroom), Harry Treadaway (Mr. Mercedes, 
Penny Dreadful), and Isa Briones (American Crime Story:
Versace).

Star Trek: Discovery co-creator and executive producer
Alex Kurtzman will oversee development on the new show,
which is not a Star Trek: The Next Generation reboot but
rather a continuation of Picard's story. Michael Chabon
will serve as showrunner.

Kurtzman will executive produce the new series alongside
newly-appointed Star Trek: Discovery executive producer
James Duff, former Discovery executive producer Akiva
Goldsman (The Dark Tower), Michael Chabon (Spider-Man 2)
and Star Trek: Voyager and Discovery writer Kirsten Beyer.
Also executive producing are Heather Kadin of Secret
Hideout and Roddenberry Entertainment President Eugene
"Rod" Roddenberry, son of Star Trek creator Gene
Roddenberry, and Roddenberry Entertainment COO Trevor
Roth.

Beginning in 1987, Patrick Stewart led the Star Trek:
The Next Generation series for seven seasons before
transitioning to movies movies with Star Trek Generations 
(1994), Star Trek: First Contact (1996), Star Trek:
Insurrection (1998) and Star Trek: Nemesis (2002) as well
as Star Trek: Deep Space Nine's pilot "Emissary." He also
portrays Dr. Charles Xavier (a.k.a. Professor X) in the 
X-Men franchise.
