Yesterday was "First Contact Day," with series of virtual panels offering plenty of exciting reveals for Star Trek fans.
The biggest announcement was the imminent return of Q, with John de Lancie set to reprise the role of the near-omnipotent interdimensional being for the upcoming second season of Picard on Paramount+.
Introduced during the first season of The Next Generation, Q was initially antagonistic to the crew of the Enterprise before becoming more of an antihero-type and eventual mentor to Picard as the series progressed. He also made several appearances in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Voyager and Lower Decks.
Season 2 of Picard is already in production, and is expected to premiere in 2022. Rejoining Patrick Stewart as the iconic starship captain will be Alison Pill, Isa Briones, Evan Evagora, Michelle Hurd, Santiago Cabrera, Jeri Ryan, Orla Brady and Brent Spiner.
Check out the teaser below, along with trailers for Star Trek: Discovery season 4, Lower Decks season 2, and a first look at Star Trek: Prodigy's animated take on Voyager's Captain Janeway (Kate Mulgrew).
