Watch Second 'Star Trek: Picard' Season 2 Teaser With First Look At Q - TrekMovie

On First Contact Day in April, Paramount+ released the first teaser for the second season of Star Trek: Picard, and now, on Captain Picard Day, they’ve released the second.

This teaser trailer has actual footage from season two, including our first look at John de Lancie as Q.

Paramount+ has created another Captain Picard Day present:  the first key art poster for season two.

The original teaser along with this new teaser and poster art make it clear that the second season of Star Trek Picard is going to deal with time.

This latest teaser and poster will also be discussed on Friday’s episode of our weekly All Access Star Trek podcast.

The second season of Picard is currently in production in Southern California!

As stated in this latest teaser, season two arrives on Paramount+ in 2022.

I did think it was the best Star Trek produced in decades, and I thought Nepenthe was among the finest pieces of Star Trek ever made.

That poster is quite excellent.

Is Picard dressed like Shinzon.

I’m seeing a story where, like Tapestry, Q shows Picard a world where he made different choices!

You can really see the mark of Terry Matalas as the showrunner – on the poster, the teaser, on everything.

It looks like a season long arc of Tapestry…which is one of my very favorites.

First, it’s a rip off of what they’ve already done (and if it is that’s just more evidence to the theory that Stewart was lying when he said he only came back to do something different) and next, it’s just plain lazy. Putting things in current day LA doesn’t change the “been there done that” vibe I’m getting..

Seems to be a good time being a Star Trek fan.

Yeah I been down on it as I been up but I really enjoyed LDS and while DIS had it’s usual eye rolling moment’s last season (the answer to the Burn one of the biggest) being in the 32nd century has given that show a major shot in the arm for me and I think most fans ( for those who didn’t like it or wanted to move forward from the beginning I mean).

As long as cars and freeways and highways are not part of the 24th century anymore I’m happy. I hope this is just poster art and nothing more..

Exactly. Roads have been around THOUSANDS of years, despite the invention of carriages, automobiles, trains, planes, and more. It’s unlikely roads would suddenly disappear just because of transporters, which I can imagine would not be energy efficient for going a few hundred miles..

Yeah and we seen nonflying automobiles on Earth in the Kelvin universe in STID. It’s always been implied there are still normal cars and trucks in the Trek world, they seem to avoid probably out of budget reasons in the old days to show futuristic vehicles on roads.!

This is just my own personal take so I could be wrong but I’ve always got the impression that automobiles were nothing more than a novelty by the 23rd century. This is hardly conclusive evidence but I personally felt that the newer series showing that the road on the Golden Gate Bridge had been replaced by solar panels or something was a deliberate creative choice to imply that there’s no need for roads any more. Maybe there are still cars about but probably not to the extent that is shown in this image. To me the poster would seem to suggest that they are going to be visiting a time period not too far from our own..

Yeah you could be right but I never got the impression ALL cars were gone either, just not the main transportation device humans use anymore. But Star Trek has always kind of skirted around this issue because if everyone was flying around in shuttles you would think you would see thousands of them covering the Earth skies every day with a planet of 9 billion people on it. Sort of like the scene from Back to the Future 2 where there are literally sky highways for flying cars..

And yet when you see shots of Earth in the 23rd or 24th century, you would see a few obligatory ones flying through the air which implied that’s not how most people get around. I imagine transporters are a lot in use as well, but its not like everyone has one in their home either where they can transport to work and back. And I remember Sisko once saying he had to save up for credits to transport to a certain place. My guess there are transporter ‘centers’ or something. Or maybe many travel via high speed underground trains? I always imagined there could be a global system of trains speeding everywhere underground but just in my head of course. ;).

And of course the poster itself could just be closer to present day period.

You’re right Star Trek has skirted round the question a little so we’re all going to have different takes on the subject and there’s obviously a lot of creative freedom for them to do whatever they want in with regards to this.

I mean we had the argo in Star Trek Nemesis and there were clearly still roads in Star Trek 2009, obviously Kirk had a motorbike and his stepfather kept a classic car and were there automobiles shown on the streets of San Francisco in Into Darkness.

Edit: We did have Malcolm Reed confirm that at least as late as the 22nd Century there was a British Royal Navy so that’s another antiquated form of transport that persisted quite far into the Star Trek future!

Yeah that’s what I was talking about when I said ‘leaked images’ and that they showed what looked like a mostly present day Earth, just maybe a few decades later.

In fact we saw a yacht like boat going under the Golden Gate bridge in Starfleet headquarters BOTH the 22nd and the 32nd century (Discovery seem to have used the same image as well as a nod to Enterprise)..

I love the fact no one cares that Q looks older. We just want him back! And I’m soooo happy to see him in that trailer! It feels like classic Star Trek again! :).

Maybe they’ll just ignore it like Red Dwarf does with Rimmer or it might be linked to Q’s role in the series.

There is something delightful in a low budget Trek kind of way about them hanging out in a future Downtown LA with freeways.

If Star Trek Picard does take place in the 21st Century, and more specifically in the 2020s, that places it at the same time as DS9’s Past Tense, when Sisko and Bashir were trapped in a sanctuary city.

I hope that the season isn’t fully set in the past (i.e. our near future) or an alternate timeline — I’d really like to see how the 24th (or now the 25th?) century is playing out….

It’s so great to see Q back and it looks to be a time travel/alternate timeline story (which we all guessed awhile ago) but so happy to see weird/trippy Star Trek back.

doesn’t get a lot of interest in Star Trek (even though pretty much all the classic shows and films were made here) and the last time it was fully displayed was in Future’s End on Voyager. So that alone has me more giddy!?

Remember first season they acted like Picard was the only one from TNG showing up and we ended up with quite a few characters back from Riker to Data. So I wouldn’t be completely shocked we’ll get a few more again, they are probably just keeping them a surprise until we get a bit closer to the season. There were quite a few denials from cast members they knew nothing about Picard and had no involvement in the show….until they did. ;).

A Picard show with a guest star here and there is perfect.

Well he didn’t say anything about the Enterprise E he just said he would like to see more of the characters, which I’m guessing is the feeling for the majority of TNG fans!

I never bought this idea the show was going to be some kind of Picard only journey?

It’s no way that was going to completely fly and they knew it.

Thats the best Star Trek Poster since the Star Trek Into Darkness poster (good poster, meh movie)

So unless it’s a fascinating take on the genre then I feel like it’s best to leave it along

He’ll do his thing, and at the end of the episode/sesason, it’ll all be okay.This trailer has a lot of people waking up, and like after a night of binge drinking, are trying to recall just what did happen last night

I’ll predict right now that Guinan is going to show up and tell Picard “someting ain’t right here”

A full season of “Q-pid!” Time is broken so we finally get to see Picard in tights like Errol Flynn again
