Celebrating Picard’s Return

Boldly goers should be delighted by Patrick Stewart’s astonishing announcement confirming his return as the diplomatic Captain of the Enterprise-D, Jean Luc Picard in a new series currently in pre-production.

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. Read my full statement in the photo. #StarTrek @cbsallaccess Photo: @shervinfoto pic.twitter.com/8Ynuj3RBNm

Set 20 years Post-Star Trek: Nemesis (which featured a bald Tom Hardy before Tom Hardy was a thing),  Jean-Luc Picard will command a new vessel and explore strange new worlds once more.

Make it so! @SirPatStew will be returning to his iconic role as Jean-Luc Picard in a new @cbsallaccess #StarTrek series that tells the story of the next chapter in Picard’s life‼️ pic.twitter.com/T5qQJ4gzU0

No scripts are ready yet, but in regards to high quality, I’ve been told the people involved share the love for the source material that will definitely make it so.

Will his buddies return as well?
