Picard Season 2 Trailer Features Time Travel, Q and the Borg Queen
Paramount+ reveals a new trailer for Star Trek: Picard Season 2 that features a new Borg Queen and the return of one of Picard’s oldest foes.
As part of Star Trek Day, Paramount+ has released a new trailer for the second season of Star Trek: Picard, which features a lot of faces that should be familiar to Star Trek fans.
The trailer begins with Jean-Luc Picard back on Earth following his adventures in the previous season, when he is visited by an old enemy — the omnipotent alien Q, who is once again played by John de Lancie. Q reveals that Picard’s trial from The Next Generation still isn’t over, and transports the aged Picard to an alternate timeline, where the beloved captain is now part of a fascistic regime that has taken over the Earth. Picard recruits new and familiar friends as he tries to reverse the changes to the timeline, which apparently involves an encounter with a new Borg Queen, played by Annie Wersching, and a trip back to the 21st century.
Many of Picard’s allies from the first season of the series will return, including Alison Pill’s Dr. Agnes Jurati, Isa Briones as the android Soji Asha, Evan Evagora as the painfully honest Romulan swordsman Elnor, Michelle Hurd as Picard’s old confidant Raffi, and Santiago Cabrera as Rios, the captain of the La Sirena. Jeri Ryan’s Seven of Nine will once again join Picard on his journey. The cast list also includes Brent Spiner, though it is unknown if he will be reprising the role of Data or if he’ll be playing another one of Dr. Soong’s creations.
The first season of Picard debuted in January 2020. The series is set twenty years after the events of Star Trek: Nemesis, and deals with the fallout of a disaster that caused the Federation to outlaw all synthetic lifeforms. Former Starfleet captain Picard, now retired and living on his family’s vineyard, is called back into action when a woman, who is being pursued by a shadowy Romulan organization, comes to his home and asks for his help. After the Federation refuses to assist him, he is forced to seek help from outside the law in order to save the woman and solve the mystery surrounding the disaster that caused the galaxy to live in fear of androids.
In addition to the new information about season two, Patrick Stewart confirmed that the series has already been green-lit for a third season.
Star Trek: Picard Season 2 is slated premiere exclusively on Paramount+ in February 2022.
