Star Trek: Picard premiered on January 23, 2020, and its first season ran for 10 episodes until March 26.
Second and third seasons were ordered before the first season debuted. The series was met with positive reviews from critics, who highlighted Stewart’s performance and the focus on character over action but criticized the slow pace of the series.
Several tie-in projects were created for the series, including an episode of the companion series Star Trek: Short Treks that serves as a prequel to Picard.
