Patrick Stewart’s ‘Star Trek: Picard’ Gets Season 2 Renewal

Sir Patrick Stewart’s Star Trek: Picard has been renewed for a second season on CBS All Access.

25 years ago, Star Trek: The Next Generation concluded a seven-season run and seemingly marked the end of Patrick Stewart’s time portraying Captain Jean-Luc Picard. However, Patrick Stewart will now reprise his role as the former Captain of the starship USS Enterprise – NCC-1701-D in a new CBS All Access series titled Star Trek: Picard, which will follow the eponymous character in the next chapter of his life.

Now, Deadline reports Star Trek: Picard has been renewed for a second season over a month before the Patrick Stewart series premieres on CBS All Access. As with the first season of the Patrick Stewart series, the sophomore year of Star Trek: Picard will consist of 10 episodes.

Over $20.4 million in California tax incentives has been granted to the second season of Star Trek: Picard, with Deadline sources saying production could begin as early as spring 2020. According the outlet, season 2 of Patrick Stewart’s Star Trek: Picard is “penciled in” for late 2020 or early 2021.
