Sir Patrick Stewart made a triumphant return to San Diego Comic Con’s Hall H on Saturday during the CBS All Access Star Trek panel and brought with him the first full trailer to the streaming service’s highly anticipated series in which he returns to his iconic Trek role.
Set in the aftermath of the destruction of Romulus (as seen in the Prime timeline of 2009’s big screen Star Trek), the trailer to the new series offered some major surprises as well. It is revealed the Borg and Romulans will factor into his new mission and both TNG‘s Data and Voyager‘s Seven of Nine will be along for the ride. Of course we got a welcome short glimpse of his dog Number One too.
Here is the official synopsis from CBS All Access:
STAR TREK: PICARD features Sir Patrick Stewart reprising his iconic role as “Jean-Luc Picard,” which he played for seven seasons on “Star Trek: The Next Generation.” The new series will follow this iconic character into the next chapter of his life. Alongside Stewart, STAR TREK: PICARD will also star Isa Briones, Santiago Cabrera, Michelle Hurd, Alison Pill, Harry Treadaway and Evan Evagora. The series is produced by CBS Television Studios in association with Secret Hideout and Roddenberry Entertainment.
