What is Star Trek: Picard about?
Set twenty years after the events of Star Trek Nemesis, we follow the now-retired Admiral Picard into the next chapter of his life.
A retired admiral grapples with a melancholic past and an earnest future across a measured, atmospheric journey.
Intimate and melancholy. A late-night trip at a measured pace. Emotionally it is heavy.
Streaming on Paramount+.
