Patrick Stewart Returning As Jean-Luc Picard In New Star Trek Show

In a surprise appearance on stage at the Las Vegas Star Trek convention this week actor Patrick Stewart shocked the crowd by announcing that he would be returning to the Star Trek universe as his most beloved character "Jean-Luc Picard". The new CBS show (which has nothing to do with the new Discovery series) has no scripts, no name, and no other cast members yet, but we know that Stewart made absolutely clear that Picard may no longer be a Captain and the version we will see on screen will be very different from the one we know. I'm presuming he means this is a retired character, not the adventurous, space-travelling one we're used to.

Either way, Star Trek fans should be happy for his return to the role. I wonder what cameos we'll see from The Next Generation?!
