Star Trek: Picard begins on CBS All Access Jan. 23. Sir Patrick Stewart plays Jean-Luc Picard. There are ten episodes.

Alison Pill, Isa Briones, Evan Evagora, Michelle Hurd and Santiago Cabera are also in the cast.

Stewart played Picard on Star Trek: The Next Generation. Stewart spoke about revisiting the role at TCA press tour in Pasadena earlier this month. “There was actually nothing that strange to be stepping into Star Trek: Picard, because he's never actually left me,” he said. “He has always been there, and it's a relationship that I am happy to continue with. That's an understatement. I'm absolutely thrilled to continue.”

Executive producers on Star Trek: Picard are Alex Kurtzman, Michael Chabon, Akiva Goldsman and Heather Kadin. Chabon is the author of the novel TheAmazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay.

CBS All Access costs $5.99 monthly with commercials and $9.99 without. It debuted Star Trek: Discovery in 2017.

The network has ordered a second season of Star Trek: Picard, meaning ten more episodes.
