Star Trek: Discovery co-creator and executive producer Alex Kurtzman will oversee development on the new show, which is not a Star Trek: The Next Generation reboot but rather a continuation of Picard’s story.
Star Trek: Picard will tell the next story of Picard’s life, taking place after Star Trek: Next Generation.
The hit sequel series to Star Trek: The Next Generation was renewed for a second season before the premiere’s launch in January and the first season finale is set to air on March 26.
Also executive producing are Heather Kadin of Secret Hideout and Roddenberry Entertainment President Eugene “Rod” Roddenberry, son of Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry, and Roddenberry Entertainment COO Trevor Roth.
