The trailers alone are enough to get serious fans interested. With a host of cameos from multiple Star Trek shows, most fans will swoon. The second trailer shows us an updated look at Riker and Deanna, not to mention Seven of Nine. There is even a glimpse of Data in this trailer, showing fans Picard has not forgotten him. The story follows Picard as he takes steps away from following Starfleet. This is a new experience for him, and not one he enters lightly. With Seven of Nine entering into the mix, fan-favorite Jeri Ryan returns to Star Trek. Ryan expressed some difficulty returning to her character’s voice for the role. But she also had some help from another returning Borg actor, Johnathan Del Arco. Star Trek: Picard will be a cavalcade of cameos if these trailers tell us anything.
Whether or not Picard will offer any explanation at first remains to be seen. But the mysteries we’ve experienced with Jean Luc in the past make fans eager to return. It’s clear that no matter which Captain is your favorite, Picard is always popular. CBS also released a trailer for the upcoming season of Star Trek: Discovery. CBS All Access viewers will be the first to see Picard return to the small screen this January. But Trekkies will have even more new shows available soon enough.
