CBS revealed a Jean-Luc Picard TV series. Let's check in on Star Trek Twitter.
CBS dropped a bomb on Saturday: Sir Patrick Stewart is returning to the Star Trek universe. Fandom collectively lost its shit after the announcement.
An upcoming CBS All Access series will explore the life and times of former U.S.S. Enterprise captain Jean-Luc Picard during his golden years. We don't know much about the story just yet beyond Stewart confirming that it's set two decades after Star Trek: Nemesis.
Really, the thing that matters here is new Picard stories. Stewart's Enterprise captain is one of the most widely beloved Star Trek characters of all time. Now we'll get to see his story continue.
Star Trek fans of all shapes, sizes, and interest levels -- celebs included -- voiced a loud show of support for the news. It's not clear when the Picard series from Alex Kurtzman, James Duff, Akiva Goldsman, Michael Chabon, and Kirsten Beyer will be released, but it's abundantly clear that Trek fans are pumped.
(Now if only we could get some confirmation that John de Lancie's Q is also set for a comeback.)
