It is an unexpected but delightful surprise to find myself excited and invigorated to be returning to Jean-Luc Picard and to explore new dimensions within him.

The exact plot details are being kept mostly under wraps, though the series is said to tell the story of the next chapter of Picard’s life. That indicates that it will take place after the events of “Star Trek: The Next Generation” rather than being a prequel or reboot.

The untitled series hails from Alex Kurtzman, James Duff, Akiva Goldsman, Michael Chabon, and Kirsten Beyer. Kurtzman, Duff, Goldsman, and Chabon will also serve as executive producers on the series along with Stewart, Trevor Roth, Heather Kadin, and Rod Roddenberry. CBS Television Studios will produce. The new series does not currently have a premiere date.

“I will always be very proud to have been a part of ‘Star Trek: The Next Generation,’ but when we wrapped that final movie in the spring of 2002, I truly felt my time with ‘Star Trek’ had run its natural course,” Stewart said. “It is, therefore, an unexpected but delightful surprise to find myself excited and invigorated to be returning to Jean-Luc Picard and to explore new dimensions within him. Seeking out new life for him, when I thought that life was over.”

“During these past years, it has been humbling to hear many stories about how ‘The Next Generation’ brought people comfort, saw them through difficult periods in their lives or how the example of Jean-Luc inspired so many to follow in his footsteps, pursuing science, exploration and leadership,” he continued. “I feel I’m ready to return to him for the same reason – to research and experience what comforting and reforming light he might shine on these often very dark times. I look forward to working with our brilliant creative team as we endeavor to bring a fresh, unexpected and pertinent story to life once more.”

I've liked most of the various Star Trek offerings. I remember watching TNG for the first time having seen TOS when it began and in reruns for years and thinking the really needed to man up Patrick Stewart as the captain. Probably my conditioning from years of Bill Shatner.

I must not have been wrong as I noticed in subsequent episodes he became a more decisive character. Writing and editing is everything in TV or film.

 

[ArcadiaGP]

Oh no.... one thing I didn't think of... oh god...

Please don't bring back Wil Wheaton. For **** sake do not bring back Wil ****ing Wheaton.

The whole cast is in downtown Indy right now!

Kirk wasnt half the captain picard was. Kirk was way to head strong, picard was a diplomat, starfleet isnt a career for loose cannons.

He was basically what TNG main story was about. I doubt they could even bring him back based on the events at the end of TNG

I may give it a watch. I need to go back and rewatch all the star treks. I got through about 3 seasons of the original and got distracted and never picked it back up.

Kirk, as Bill Shatner was a man of the 60s. Patrick Stewart as Picard was a man of the 80s. These shows are written by people of their respective times, having been around since the 50s, I've seen things change. Klingons evolved from snarky two dimensional bad guys to something like the Japanese samurai.

 

[churchmouse]

Interesting.

 

[ArcadiaGP]

Only ones I've watched are TOS and TNG... definitely like TOS the most. I do an annual rewatch of it.

Only TNG people I like are Picard, Riker, and Q. There are more people I dislike in TNG than like.

TOS just felt more... I dunno. It was organic. So campy and entertaining.

Star Trek sux!

Hey, you misspelled Star Wars.







The only thing I didn't like about Capt Picard is his lack of interest in screwing hot alien chicks.
Capt Kirk Rocks!

Agree with Leadeye on this one. Picard was a good Capt and maybe because it occurred a generation later the universe was a friendlier place but Picard always struck me as some Kumbaya hippie tree hugger whereas Kirk went in, kicked ass and then ****ed the alien prom queen!! Who knows how many little green Kirks are running around out there vs little green Picards at zero!

 

[femurphy77]

Interesting.

Highly illogical!

Has anyone watched the 2018 series discovery? I liked it.

I never liked TNG save for the people you mentioned and even then it was too....well....diplomatic.
