Kate Aurthur, a Buzzfeed News correspondent posted a photo on Twitter from the video that was shown during the upfront presentation. The screencap shows Stewart as Picard in what appears to be a black shirt and jacket, along with someone wearing a TNG-era Starfleet uniform in the background.
Patrick Stewart as Picard
First announced in August 2018 at Star Trek Las Vegas, Star Trek: Picard will see Patrick Stewart return to the role of Jean-Luc Picard, which he played for seven seasons on Star Trek: The Next Generation, alongside Alison Pill, Harry Treadaway, Isa Briones, Santiago Cabrera, Michelle Hurd and Evan Evagora. It is produced by Stewart himself along with Alex Kurtzman, James Duff, Akiva Goldsman, Michael Chabon, Heather Kadin, Rod Roddenberry, Trevor Roth and Aaron Baiers.
Production began last month, and it is expected to wrap in mid-September. The series will debut in December 2019 on CBS All Access in the United States and will be available through Amazon Prime Video in most other countries.

Ok so then how’s about Star Trek: Spock show for Ethan Peck. I could listen to that sex in a robe talk Vulcan ALL day long.

In the future, fashion has been destroyed and you can just go around wearing dark blue with black because THERE IS NO HOPE

I have to wonder why Stewart gets to have a show like this and not George Takei (who wanted a Star Trek: Excelsior show, but only got a crappy videogame-Star Trek: Shattered Universe?)
