Well this series is already crap to avoid watching thanks to having a
connection to JarJar Abrams' abysmal garbage movies. :-(

Picard's life is much different in new Star Trek series
-------------------------------------------------------
Star Trek head honcho Alex Kurtzman has already said that Picard,
the new CBS All Access series focusing on the life of former
Starfleet Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart), would be
"extremely different." Now, thanks to an interview with The
Hollywood Reporter, we're getting a sense of how different this
series will be.
Apparently, the events of Picard will tie into J.J. Abrams' 2009
Star Trek film. There, it was revealed that Leonard Nimoy's Spock
- the one from the main timeline - failed to save the Romulan
homeworld from a Supernova, which caused a ripple effect that
still impact's Picard's life to this day.
"Picard's life was radically altered by the dissolution of the
Romulan Empire," Kurtzman explained when talking about what will
set Picard apart from other Star Trek content. Picard will mark
the first Star Trek story to take place after those events, which
will see a significant change in the galaxy's power dynamic.
Particularly with Picard himself, who spent much of his career
trying to build a peaceful alliance with the Romulans.
As far as the rest of Picard's old crew, Kurtzman also said that
"anything could happen" in terms them showing up in the new
series.
Kurtzman will executive produce the new series alongside
newly-appointed Discovery executive producer James Duff, former
Discovery executive producer Akiva Goldsman (The Dark Tower),
Michael Chabon (Spider-Man 2) and Star Trek: Voyager and
Discovery writer Kirsten Beyer. 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.
Beginning in 1987, Patrick Stewart led the Star Trek: The Next
Generation series for seven seasons before transitioning to movies
with Star Trek: Generations (1994), Star Trek: First Contact (1996),
Star Trek: Insurrection (1998) and Star Trek: Nemesis (2002) as well
as Star Trek: Deep Space Nine's pilot "Emissary." He also portrays
Dr. Charles Xavier (a.k.a. Professor X) in the X-Men franchise.
In June CBS Television Productions announced a new overall deal with
Kurtzman, extending his agreement with the studio to five years. As
part of the new production deal, Kurtzman will supervise the
expansion of CBS' Star Trek franchise for television, developing new
series, mini-series and other content opportunities, including
animation.
The new Picard-centric Star Trek series is expected to debut on CBS
All Access sometime in late 2019.
