So you may have heard by now, but the production team behind Star Trek: Discovery had a few ideas for other Star Trek TV series-- a Starfleet Academy series, an anime, all kinds of fun things-- but today one of them was actually confirmed to be happening.
It's a series set twenty years after Star Trek Nemesis (so in 2399.)
Patrick Stewart's going to be in it.
PICARD'S BACK.
The full statement on Twitter:
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.
-Patrick Stewart
