What is Star Trek: Picard?
In case you haven’t heard about the series, Star Trek: Picard is the seventh live-action Star Trek TV series. Sir Patrick Stewart plays Jean-Luc Picard once again, but this time the show takes place in the year 2399. That’s on the cusp of the 25th century. More importantly, it’s nearly 20 years after Stewart played Picard in the movie Star Trek: Nemesis.
The first episode, Remembrance, shows Picard seemingly enjoying his retirement from Starfleet, tending to his family’s vineyard in France. However, appearances are deceiving. We quickly learn that Picard fought and lost an internal battle with Starfleet 10 years prior to the series. More importantly, we encounter a mysterious girl who comes to Picard for help. The first season will show Picard trying to solve the mystery of this girl, along with his own inner demons.
Along the way, we will see other Star Trek: The Next Generation actors reprise their roles. That will include Jonathan Frakes as Will Riker, Marina Sirtis as Deanna Troi, and even Brent Spiner as Data. We will even see Star Trek: Voyager star Jeri Ryan return as Seven of Nine.
Where and when can I watch the series?
In Canada, new episodes are shown on Thursday on Canada’s CTV Sci-Fi Channel, and can be streamed the next day on the Crave service. Internationally, new episodes drop every Friday onAmazon Prime Videoin over 200 countries.
