It seems a longer time than usual since I sat in ODEON Luxe in Leicester Square and attended the Prime Video premiere of Picard, with all the stars in attendance, including the legendary Patrick Stewart in the iconic lead role. That was a hell of an awesome night (see some pics here), and thankfully the series that followed that Premiere really stood up to the hope and hype.
Today, I’ve got all the info you need for the Paramount Home Entertainment and CBS All Access original series, Star Trek: Picard Season One, which will beam onto Blu-ray, DVD, Limited Edition Steelbook (and to Download and Keep) in the UK on 25 January 2021.
The exciting sci-fi series was executive produced by Alex Kurtzman, Michael Chabon, Akiva Goldsman, Heather Kadin, Patrick Stewart, James Duff, Eugene Roddenberry and Trevor Roth. Alongside Stewart, Star Trek: Picard also stars Alison Pill, Isa Briones, Evan Evagora, Michelle Hurd, Santiago Cabrera, and Harry Treadaway. Special guest stars also include Brent Spiner, Jonathan Del Arco, Jonathan Frakes, Jeri Ryan and Marina Sirtis, and the series has been renewed for a second season! And because I know you love the little details, here’s a proper breakdown of the extras…
