Star Trek: Picard – how to watch Series 2 online

Star Trek: Picard fans, rejoice: the captain is back for a second series.

The first series of the spin-off show aired in 2020 – an incredible 26 years after The Next Generation last aired – and now it's back with a new season.

The iconic Starfleet captain – brought out of retirement in the first series – is back with a roster of familiar faces, and for this season, he's reunited with some characters we never expected to see on the small screen again.

We can't honestly can't wait to see what unfolds in this new ten-part series – we've got our phasers set to excited.

Interestingly, the second season was already confirmed before the first series even aired – and it's been filmed back-to-back with the the third season, so that's guaranteed too.

The first episode will air on Friday 4 March 2002, and then drop on a weekly basis.

What is Star Trek: Picard about?

In the first season of Picard, we saw the retired captain languish in retirement in his French vineyard – before an unexpected turn of events saw him set out an interstellar mission.

With a new ship and new crew, Picard set out to track down the shadowy forces who set out to assassinate the 'daughter' of his former android comrade Data.

On the way, he encountered former Borg drones, Romulan spies and even a couple of his old Enterprise crewmates in the former of Commander Will Riker and Counsellor Deanna Troi.

Although details have been kept pretty tight for Series 2, we know Picard will encounter his old adversary Q, the all-powerful, mischievous entity.

We also know that Whoopi Goldberg's much-loved character Guinan will be returning too.

Who is in Star Trek: Picard?

If it needed to be said, Sir Patrick Stewart plays Captain Jean-Luc Picard.

Alongside him, a lot of names from the first series are coming back: Isa Briones as Soji; Alison Pill as Dr Agnes Jurati; Michelle Hurd as ex-Starfleet Raffi Musiker; Evan Evagora as sword-wielding Romulan Elnor and Santiago Cabrera as Captain Cristóbal Rios.

We're very happy to confirm Jeri Ryan is also making a comeback as ex-Borg Seven of Nine, while John de Lancie is reprising his original role as Q, and Whoopi Goldberg as Guinan.

How many episodes does it have?

There will be 10 episodes in Series 2 of Picard, much like the first season.

They'll be aired on a weekly basis (sorry, no binge-watching, Trekkies) and the final episode will premiere on May 5 2002.
