I hope he's a main character and not just a cameo every other mission as Admiral Picard.

Same here. It would be cool for him to be an Admiral though, commanding an aging USS Enterprise E but we'll have to wait and see what they decide to do with the story.

I’m kind of hoping for Starfleet academy with him as comendant.

It'd be like Saved By The Bell, in space *shudder*

That's what I'm talking about. Props to CBS to consider the story-telling which many trekkies want to hear about, post-dominion war.

The wait is going to be long though, till 2020 I think.. Hopefully the wait is worth it and execution teams do it justice.

[Avenger]

This is amazing news!!! I can’t wait to see how he is brought into the fold as Jean Luc Picard!!!

I’m not happy that it’s CBS ALL ACCESS

I will always be very proud to have been a part of Star Trek: The Next Generation, but when we wrapped that final movie in the spring of 2002, I truly felt my time with Star Trek had run its natural course. It is, therefore, 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. Seeking out new life for him, when I thought that life was over.

During these past years, it has been humbling to hear stories about how The Next Generation brought people comfort, saw them through difficult periods in their lives or how the example of Jean-Luc inspired so many to follow in his footsteps, pursuing science, exploration and leadership. I feel I'm ready to return to him for the same reason – to research and experience what comforting and reforming light he might shine on these often very dark times. I look forward to working with our brilliant creative team as we endeavor to bring a fresh, unexpected and pertinent story to life once more.

Wait, is it confirmed to be post Dominion War?

Story is still being written, Steward said he wouldn’t be a Captain anymore, that’s as far as I have gathered.
I mean this is really early stages of pre-production.
They basically said ok Patrick, you want a new show with you in it, we’ll “Make it so”

[Avenger]

I would love a Stargazer based or Stargazer Era show, that’s part of the universe between the Ent B and Ent D that is largely unexplored yet could have loads of back history to use and fall back on for story! Plus we would be able to see loads of new versions of the old ships - could be amazing!

20 years post Nemesis. confirmed by Sir.Patrick Stewart himself

[Bridger]

My biggest fear is that they will ruin the character and that we also a get a visual reboot for that show.

[Avenger]

That’s true, some forewords motion would be great, I would imagine they’ll kill Picard off to make room for a new Enterprise-F or something

I wouldn't be too fussed on a visual change too much, it is after all 20 years in the future. As long if it's not a complete redesign like Discovery.

That's what I wanted to say with visual reboot.

why have all this hype of him coming back, just to kill him off?!
Do you know how much boycott that would incite?

that would be a very bad idea, plus he could just be an admiral, with a NEW captain RUNNING ENT-F
