Season 2 of Star Trek: Picard was filmed alongside season 3, which airs in 2023, so Patrick Stewart will be 'bolding going' to a whole lot of star systems over the next couple of years.
Despite being in his twilight years, season 2 will see retired captain Jean-Luc Picard trapped in a race to save the galaxy from Next Generation villain Q (John De Lancie, who reprises the role he made famous in the 1990s).
Season 2 will also see the return of Guinan, Picard's friend and confidante, played by Whoopi Goldberg. Elsewhere, Jeri Ryan is back as Seven of Nine, alongside Michelle Hurd as Raffi Musiker.
The Star Trek: Picard season 2 premiere is exclusive to US streaming service Paramount Plus, so make sure you know how to watch Star Trek: Picard season 2 from where you are with a VPN.
