Sir Patrick Stewart<\/strong> returns as Jean-Luc Picard later this month in Star Trek: Picard,<\/em> but this Picard will be a man changed by tragedy both in his life and at large.<\/p>\n

One of the reasons Stewart took on the role was that it was not going to be a sequel to The Next Generation<\/em>. “I think what we’re trying to say is important,” said Stewart. “The world of Next Generation<\/em> doesn’t exist anymore. It’s different. Nothing is really safe. Nothing is really secure.”<\/p>\n

“[Stewart] is uninterested in repeating himself,” said Alex Kurtzman<\/strong>. “Everything he does is filled with innate integrity. He fights for the things he believes in. And he’s very willing to collaborate once you’re on the same wavelength.”<\/p>\n

When it comes to Star Trek: Picard<\/em>, Stewart said that “we are remaining very faithful to Gene Roddenberry<\/strong>‘s notion of what the future might be like.”<\/p>\n

But our world has changed since the time of The Next Generation<\/em> and the new show will reflect that. “In a way, the world of Next Generation<\/em> had been too perfect and too protected,” said Stewart. “It was the Enterprise<\/em>. It was a safe world of respect and communication and care and, sometimes, fun.”<\/p>\n

The Federation will be portrayed as more isolationist that it had been during the time of The Next Generation<\/em>.\u00a0 Star Trek: Picard<\/em> “was me responding to the world of Brexit<\/em> and Trump<\/strong> and feeling, ‘Why hasn’t the Federation changed? Why hasn’t Starfleet changed?’ Maybe they’re not as reliable and trustworthy as we all thought.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
