New Picard teaser calls back to Star Trek: Nemesis
--------------------------------------------------
CBS All Access has released a brand new promo teaser for their
upcoming Star Trek spinoff series Star Trek: Picard, featuring
a new version of Irving Berlin's Blue Skies song which was
previously sung by Brent Spiner's Data in the 2002 Star Trek:
Nemesis film. The inclusion of the song in the teaser probably
hints that the fans should expect the series to finally reveal
Data's fate after his heroic sacrifice in the 2002 film. Also
featuring new footage, you can check out the video in the

Picard will have its U.S. debut on January 23, 2020, on CBS All
Access and will be available in more than 200 countries and
territories on January 24, 2020, on Amazon Prime Video.
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 series will also see the return of Star Trek alums including
Brent Spiner as Data, Jonathan Del Arco as Hugh the Borg, and
Star Trek: Voyager's Jeri Ryan as Seven of Nine along with
Marina Sirtis as Commander Deanna Troi and Jonathan Frakes as
Riker.
Picard will also be featuring 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.
