Just one week after the official name of the next Star Trek series was announced, the very first teaser trailer for Star Trek: Picard has arrived — taking us back to the familiar vineyards of the former Enterprise captain’s homeland.

Set in the sunny countryside of LaBarre, France, where the Picard family vineyard was last seen in “All Good Things,” the Next Generation series finale that just happened to air 25 years ago today in 1994 — a female narrator, actress Merrin Dungey, lays out the questions that fans will surely be trying to answer for the next several months.

Here’s a version for viewers in the UK:

Here’s a version for viewers in Canada:

“Fifteen years ago today, you lead us out of the darkness. You commanded the greatest rescue armada in history — then the unimaginable. What did that cost you? Your faith? Your faith in us? Your faith in yourself? Tell us: why did you leave Starfleet, Admiral?”

After a close-up look at a case of an ’86 vintage of Chateau Picard — likely 2386, midway between Star Trek: Nemesis and the setting of Star Trek: Picard — we get our first look at Patrick Stewart’s Jean-Luc Picard, about to venture on his first mission in nearly two decades.

When did Picard get promoted from captain to admiral? What fleet was he commanding, and who was the armada trying to rescue — perhaps the survivors of the destruction of Romulus? And why DID he leave Starfleet?

Production on Star Trek: Picard has been ongoing for several weeks now, with some leaked photos hitting the internet from location filming which occurred at the beginning of May showcasing Stewart on set, surrounded by civilians and Starfleet officers alike.

Director Hanelle Culpepper, who helmed the first two episodes of the ten-episode season, has confirmed on social media that the show has moved onto the third and fourth episodes of production, as longtime Trek director Jonathan Frakes moves to lead that ‘block’ of filming.

We don’t know quite yet when we’ll learn anything more about the details of Star Trek: Picard, but it’s likely that San Diego Comic Con will be a source of much more information, as the next big genre event of 2019.

Along with the trailer, here’s the first official key art for the series:
