We’re just over one month away from the arrival of Star Trek: Picard next January, and in a new preview trailer released on social media this morning, we’ve got the first round of additional footage from the upcoming show since New York Comic Con in October.
Arriving on CBS All Access’ Facebook page today, this new 30-second preview spot for Star Trek: Picard opens with the former captain himself (Patrick Stewart) back in the forward section of the Enterprise-D’s tenth deck, in a likely dream sequence with a red planet outside Ten Forward’s windows is destroyed before his eyes.
“I was haunted by my past,” says the former Starfleet officer, “but now I have a mission. I would do what needs to be done.”
Along with this flashback to the Galaxy-class home of Star Trek: The Next Generation, the new commercial also features a close look at the updated 2019-era Borg drone makeup, and another glimpse of Lt. Commander Data (Brent Spiner) in his Star Trek: Nemesis-era uniform.
We’ve also got revised visual effects for the previously-seen Borg cube — now with a traditional green forcefield barrier, rather than blue — and another moment from Picard’s reunion with Will Riker (Jonathan Frakes).
Another blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment included Dr. Agnes Jurati (Alison Pill) about to undergo a Vulcan mind meld, a trio of Starfleet-branded ships attacking an orbiting facility, and a closer look at the black-clad soldier who tries to take her down while she searches for Jean-Luc Picard.
We’re sure to see even more from the upcoming series over the next few weeks, as we inch ever-closer to the world premiere in Los Angeles on January 13 — followed by the London premiere on January 15 — and the ultimate streaming debut of Star Trek: Picard on January 23 (CBS All Access, USA) and 24 (Prime Video, globally).
