WATCH: Everything old is new again in the first trailer for Star Trek: Picard

“Be the captain they remember.”

There has been much excitement and anticipation ever since it was announced last summer than Patrick Stewart was reprising his iconic role of Jean-Luc Picard in a new TV show.

After what felt like a long wait, we finally have the first proper look at Star Trek: Picard, and the initial teaser presents much for fans to latch onto.

You have the likes of Data and Seven of Nine popping up and, of course, the enjoyment of seeing Stewart step back into one of his most beloved characters.

It’s hard not to feel some Logan vibes off of this, especially in the early going, but Picard is a different beast altogether.

As for the plot, it would seem that the veteran captain has little choice but to help a mysterious young girl who either holds the key to salvation or complete destruction, depending on who you ask.

It all looks very exciting, anyway. The show arrives on Prime Video in 2020.

Check out the first official trailer below.
