Star Trek: Picard series detailed: Here's what we know so far
Nearly a year ago, CBS confirmed plans to release a new Star Trek television series that would focus on actor Sir Patrick Stewart in his role as Captain Jean-Luc Picard. A name for the series was not provided at the time, but the company is finally back with more details, revealing that its upcoming show will simply be called Star Trek: Picard.READ: Patrick Stewart confirms new CBS Star Trek series
CBS revealed the show's title alongside Stewart during a presentation in New York with advertisers today. The company debuted the series logo for the first time, as well, giving the public its first solid look at the upcoming science fiction show.
As previously expected, the new Star Trek series will be an exclusive on CBS All Access, the network's on-demand and live television streaming service. That only applies to the United States, however.
