It doesn’t have a formal title yet, but the upcoming Jean-Luc Picard Star Trek series cast continues its expansion today, as CBS has announced three more additions to Sir Patrick Stewart’s crew.
Perhaps the biggest co-star yet announced is Alison Pill, perhaps best known for her work in HBO’s The Newsroom and Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, joins previously-announced series regulars Michelle Hurd, Santiago Cabrera, and Evan Evagoria, each named to the series earlier this year.
Additionally, British actor Harry Treadaway also beams aboard the Picard show, coming off lead roles as Dr. Victor Frankenstein in Showtime’s Penny Dreadful and the television adaptation of Stephen King’s Mr. Mercedes — so no stranger to genre productions here.
Lastly, relative newcomer Isa Briones also joins the show; the Londoner’s most recent television credit is a guest spot in FX’s American Crime Story: Versace last year, but the 20-year-old has just wrapped up her time as one of the leads in the touring production of hit Broadway show Hamilton.
The roles these new additions to the cast will be playing are still being kept under wraps, of course, as the frustratingly-still-untitled Picard series heads into production this month in southern California – though Brione’s Instagram comment about ‘fight training’ suggests she’s got a pretty physically-active role in the show.
The first two hours are set to be directed by Hanelle Culpepper with hours three and four are being helmed by Jonathan Frakes.
