Patrick Stewart is returning to the role of Jean-Luc Picard for a new Star Trek series



https://techcrunch.com/2018/08/04/patrick-stewart-is-returning-to-the-role-of-jean-luc-picard-for-a-new-star-trek-series/?yptr=yahoo


Did you ever think Patrick Stewart would return to the role of Jean-Luc Picard? Neither did he.

But he will! Sir Pat Stew himself just announced the news on Instagram, timed to line up with an on-stage announcement at the Star Trek Las Vegas 2018 convention:

"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. 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 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.

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. "

The official account for the new (but separate) Star Trek Discovery series sheds light on a few more details: the story will focus on the “next chapter” of Picard’s life (after Next Generation, presumably), and will be made available on CBS’ online subscription/original content service, CBS All Access.

Stewart shared a few more details at the Las Vegas convention, noting that it was still early days and they’re still working out what it’ll all look like:

"He may not… be a captain anymore. He may not be the Jean-Luc that you recognize and know so well. It may be a very different individual; someone who has been changed by his experiences. Twenty years will have passed — more or less exactly the time between the last movie (Nemesis) and today.

We have no scripts, as yet. We’re just talking, talking, talking storylines.

It will be, I promise, I guarantee, something very, very different. But it will come to you with the same passion, and determination, and love of the material, and love of our followers and fans… exactly as we had it before.
Alas, just about everything else about the show is still a mystery for now, presumably because it’s not all totally finalized yet. Name? Unknown. How many episodes? Who knows!"

Maybe what the world needs right now is some Star Trek. Not the flashy, snappy JJ Abrams Trek — just good ol’ Picard out there getting his Prime Directive on.

During production of Star Trek: Nemesis, a script developed by John Logan and Brent Spiner was in the works for a fifth and final film featuring the TNG cast that would have wrapped up the adventures of the Enterprise-E crew, with tie-ins to historical aspects of the Star Trek franchise. However, the poor performance of Nemesis at the box office convinced Paramount that the franchise was suffering from 'franchise fatigue', and the script was abandoned.

On August 4, 2018, an untitled television series featuring Patrick Stewart as Jean-Luc Picard was announced. The series, which will be set twenty years after the events of Star Trek: Nemesis, is being developed for CBS All Access.

________________________________

I watched the first Star Trek: Discovery with Bulldogtrekker before it was only available on line, and I disliked it so much I decided to wait until it was available through Netflix so I could binge watch it and decide if I liked it.

I'm delighted that Patrick Stewart is joining the cast. When I start watching the series, his presence will be a real plus.

(Bud, you need to change this thread' title as we now have a series name.)

"Fifteen years ago, today, you led us out of the darkness. You commanded the greatest rescue armada in history. Then... the unimaginable. What did that cost you? Your faith? Your faith in... us? Your faith in yourself? Tell us … why did you leave Starfleet, Admiral?"

I'll bet they tie the new Picard show in with Discovery just so it's one in the eye to all of us who are not fans!

Two items.

1) Did anyone notice that CBS' logo has been morphing into the "starfleet arrow" during this Christmas season?

Star Trek: Picard Already Renewed for a Second Season Before Series Premiere in January

www.slashfilm.com/star-trek-picard-season-2/

The new series Star Trek: Picard isn’t slated to premiere on the CBS All Access subscription service until January next year. But there’s already a strong vote of confidence in the return of Patrick Stewart as Captain Jean-Luc Picard, because the new series has just been given a second season order by CBS, not to mention a hefty tax incentive from California.

Deadline has word on Star Trek: Picard season 2 adding to the resurgence of Star Trek on the small screen. The show will follow the successful arrival of Star Trek Discovery on CBS All Access, with Alex Kurtzman and Akiva Goldsman acting as executive producers on the first season. However, when the second season rolls around, Chabon won’t be quite as involved in Picard. Though Chabon will stay creatively involved as an executive producer as he was on the first season, he won’t return as showrunner. That’s because he’ll be overseeing Showtime’s series adaptation of his book The Adventures of Kavalier and Clay.

It’s good to hear that CBS has enough faith in the first season of Star Trek: Picard that they’re already ordering a second season before the numbers come in for the premiere season. It probably helps that Star Trek: Picard is getting $20.45 million in tax incentive money from California, the most that any TV project has been awarded by the California Film Commission

As for where the second season of Star Trek: Picard will take us, that’s pretty much impossible to know since we haven’t seen a single episode of the first season. But even so, it’s good to know that we’ll have Patrick Stewart making it so for at least one more season. Even for fans who aren’t thrilled with Star Trek Discovery, this is something that should get them excited to boldy go on a new mission.

Star Trek: Picard premieres on CBS All Access on January 23, 2020 and will release new episodes weekly after that.

I wonder if the older Picard will be suffering from the illness that one of the future show episodes predicted earlier on in the series?

________________________________

Interesting idea, JB. Very Happy

I seem to remember that All Good Things had some clever dialog during the poker game in the last scene which explained the fact that the present-day characters didn't need to worry about the events that Picard experienced in the future, because his action (and Q's) caused significant changes in the timeline.

This allowed the writers to ignore anything in All Good Things which they didn't want to follow up on in future TNG stories — including Picard's Irumodic Syndrome, the degenerative neurological disorder which caused deterioration of his synaptic pathways.

Star Trek: Picard Brings Back a Much Different Hugh

https://tvline.com/2019/12/22/star-trek-picard-photos-hugh-jonathan-del-arco/

Jean-Luc Picard won’t be the only familiar face appearing on Star Trek: Picard — but one of those faces will look a lot different than you remember.

Ahead of Star Trek: Picard‘s Jan. 23 debut on CBS All Access, TVLine has an exclusive first look at former Borg drone Hugh, played once again by Jonathan Del Arco. But now, instead of the customary android Borg look, Hugh looks almost human, with only a few remnants of his Borg past — some stray metallic bits attached to his face — still visible.



Del Arco first played Hugh in the classic Star Trek: The Next Generation episode I, Borg, with the injured drone being nursed back to health by the Enterprise. He befriended Geordi, who gave him the name “Hugh,” and learned to be human, eventually rejecting the Borg’s mission of forced assimilation. (He later helped rescue the Enterprise from Data’s evil twin Lore in the two-part Star Trek: The Next Geberation episode Descent.) And here in Star Trek: Picard — which is set twenty years after the last Next Generation movie, Star Trek: Nemesis — he seems to be on Jean-Luc’s side once again, as we glimpsed in the most recent trailer that premiered at New York Comic Con.

He’s not the only former Borg drone on Star Trek: Picard, either: Jeri Ryan reprises her Star Trek: Voyager role as Seven of Nine, along with guest appearances from Star Trek: The Next Generation stars Brent Spiner (Data), Jonathan Frakes (Riker) and Marina Sirtis (Troi). Newcomers to the Star Trek universe include Santiago Cabrera (Salvation), Michelle Hurd (Blindspot), Alison Pill (The Newsroom), Harry Treadaway (Mr. Mercedes) and Isa Briones (American Crime Story: Versace).

Patrick Stewart Formally Invites Whoopi Goldberg Onboard For Season 2

https://theplaylist.net/picard-patrick-stewart-whoopi-goldberg-20200122/

The Star Trek fanbase is bubbling with anticipation as the eagerness mounts for the premiere of Star Trek: Picars. Returning to portray the titular role, the noble Jean-Luc Picard of Starfleet, is Sir Patrick Stewart.

Lately, Stewart has been appearing at special premiere events and promoting the series in other ways. Stewart has said that this new show shall have quite a different aura than its predecessor, Star Trek: The Next Generation.

At the same time, however, some of the most beloved characters are back with the old show’s cast returning to reprise them. Appearing with the now-elderly Picard, other Star Trek: The Next Generation favorites will include the android Data, played by Brent Spiner, and former first mate William Riker, who shall continue to be portrayed by Jonathan Frakes.

Meanwhile, another familiar, more mature face from Star Trek: The Next Generation intends to make his mark on the new Star Trek: Picard series, though he won’t actually be appearing in Season one. Wil Wheaton, who had portrayed the recurring role of Wesley Crusher, will be hosting a weekly talk show, The Ready Room, that will boldly go…into the background of the Star Trek: Picard series.

With so much to look forward to, the Trekkie world recently received even more good news, and it pertains to another ‘Next Generation’ cast member.

Stewart appeared on The View, where Whoopi Goldberg acts as one of the primary hosts. (Goldberg had played Guinan, a bartender, and confidant of Picard in the Star Trek: The Next Generation timeline.) This led to a surprise for audience members when Stewart officially invited Goldberg to the cast of Picard‘s second season.

Stewart said on the program:

“Something that I need to bring up. I’m here with a formal invitation — and it’s for you, Whoopi. Alex Kurtzman, who is the senior executive producer of Star Trek: Picard,’ and all of his colleagues — of which I am one — want to invite you into the second season.”

Goldberg’s answer was delivered quickly and definitively. She said, “Yes.” Season 2 of Star Trek: Picard looks all the more intriguing. In the meantime, the first season begins airing on CBS All Access this Thursday.
