Star Trek: Picard (2020) marks the return of Patrick Stewart to one of his most iconic roles as Jean-Luc Picard, the revered and beloved captain of the USS Enterprise. This television series, developed by Alex Kurtzman and Michael Chabon, serves as both a continuation of Picardβs journey and a deep dive into his past, with new characters, exciting storylines, and a reflection on the changes in his life after his time in Starfleet.
Set nearly two decades after the events of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Picard follows the retired Admiral Jean-Luc Picard, who has settled into a quieter life at his familyβs vineyard in France. However, when a mysterious woman named Dahj (Isa Briones), who is connected to his past, is targeted by dangerous forces, Picard is pulled back into the galaxy’s turmoil.
As he investigates the threat, he learns that his old enemies, including remnants of the Romulan Empire, have a deep connection to the events surrounding Dahj and a larger conspiracy involving artificial lifeforms.
Picard assembles a ragtag crew of allies, including an ex-Borg (played by Jeri Ryan), a Romulan warrior (played by Michelle Hurd), and a ragged former Starfleet officer (played by Santiago Cabrera), to uncover the truth and confront the remnants of the past. The series explores themes of identity, redemption, and the enduring impact of Star Trekβs grand moral questions.
