With the first episode of Star Trek: Picard set to debut on CBS All Access is just over one week, the cast and crew of the new series took to the black carpet for the Los Angeles premiere on Monday night. Patrick Stewart, who returns to the role of the iconic Jean-Luc Picard spoke to a few media outlets as he entered the premiere. While Stewart anticipates fans will get a lot out of the series — although one thing is at the top of his list:
“The same thing that has been a fundamental part of Star Trek; hope.”
