The first season of Star Trek: Picard brought back Patrick Stewart to star as the erstwhile Starfleet captain, now older and grappling with his mortality, a conspiracy involving synthetic lifeforms like Data, and the erosion of Starfleet. It was a pretty bold of season of television that traded in nostalgia while giving fans something new to chew on, and it looks like the upcoming second season will follow suit.
Paramount+ released a teaser trailer today, which is actually Picard Day, so designated because it’s when the children of the Enterprise-D threw a celebration in his honor on Star Trek: The Next Generation. It features the return of John de Lancie as Q, the extra-dimensional being fond of bugging Picard on The Next Generation. It seems that “time has been broken,” which sounds pretty bad, but it’s nothing that Picard and his new crew can’t solve, right?
Star Trek: Picard season 2 is premiering on Paramount+ sometime in 2022. It probably would have been earlier, but production was delayed by the pandemic. Patience.
