Sir Patrick Stewart (Logan) officially announced today that he will be returning to the Star Trek universe as Captain Jean-Luc Picard in an all-new series for CBS All Access.

While plot details are understandably being kept under wraps, the series is expected to serve as a sequel to Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987-1994) as well as to his four films - Star Trek Generations (1994), Star Trek: First Contact (1996), Star Trek: Insurrection (1998), and Star Trek: Nemesis (2002). It will tell the story of an older, wiser Picard as he embarks on a whole new set of intergalactic adventures. 

Alex Kurtzman, James Duff, Akiva Goldsman, Michael Chabon, and Kirsten Beyer will serve as the creative team behind the project, which is the second Star Trek universe series to hit the streaming service. At least two other shows, including a series set at Starfleet Academy and a "Wrath of Khan" miniseries, are said to be in development.

A premiere date has not been set, but we can probably expect it on the streaming service sometime next year, if not sooner. Meanwhile, Star Trek: Discovery will return for its second season in early 2019.

This news is like the best news I didn't know I wanted. Like I grew up playing playstation, then Sony announces they will only be making hand held gaming systems that are like phone app games and traditional gaming as I know it is over, then I just learn to accept it and live without it, then SURPRISE! Sony announces the playstation 5 and they are bringing back my favorite game series.

Idk... kinda feels like that.

Ha. Cool. Funny enough I’m currently watching Star Trek: The Next Generation for the first time.

@TheUnworthyThor - I've been off and on binging all of Star Trek for a little over a year. Saw the original series, then the movies up until Generations, watched all of the next generation and then the movies from Generations to Nemesis. Just started watching Deep Space Nine. So all the Jean Luc Picard greatness is still fresh in my brain.

@grif - So far, all the tv series are in the same canon. And the movies too if you count it being an alternate reality.

@rabid - I think Discovery is part of the new movie canon, right?
rabid
rabid - 8/5/2018, 10:26 AM
@MyBeard - No, it's in the classic canon.
MyBeard
MyBeard - 8/5/2018, 1:38 PM
@rabid - I'm not sure how I feel about that. A part of me is only interested in seeing what happens post-Voyager and not have any more prequel series convoluting the prime timeline. It makes the different looking Klingons even more unnecessary.

That said, I like Discovery.

@MyBeard - the show runners claim its regular cannon, but I don't buy that. In my mind it's the Kelvin timeline from the movies.

@MyBeard - Discovery didn't really change any any continuity. It just filled in some gaps. I am not a huge Klingon fan, so the redesign didn't bother me. But there's a drastic difference between how they looked in the original series and Next Generation, and that was definitely an improvement.
rabid
rabid - 8/5/2018, 3:39 PM
@ArthurFleck - It couldn't be the Kelvin timeline because it's set before the Kelvin timeline diverged, right?
MyBeard
MyBeard - 8/5/2018, 4:52 PM
@rabid - @ArthurFleck - It would slot in after the USS Kelvin incident but before James T Kirk's time at the academy. So it could work.
MyBeard
MyBeard - 8/5/2018, 4:55 PM
@rabid - I mean the technological continuity. Not just how it looks, but the existence of things like the spore drive etc. Dance parties to remixed Bee Gees songs and Spock's adopted sister we've never heard of before. That kind of stuff.
rabid
rabid - 8/5/2018, 9:05 PM
@MyBeard - The way they wrote it doesn't change any continuity though. The spore drive was top secret and ended up being too risky to use again. And Michael is more of a foreign exchange student than sister. The Klingon race war links it pretty tight with Bakula's Enterprise, so it's surely in the same canon as that.
