Patrick Stewart is finally back as Jean-Luc Picard in the new CBS All Access series Star Trek: Picard, and the first episode has been made free to watch online. According to the video description on YouTube, the pilot will only be streaming on the platform for a limited time, so it’s better to give it a watch sooner rather than later. To get right on it, you can watch the episode on the official CBS All Access YouTube channel by clicking here.
We last saw Jean-Luc at the end of Star Trek: Nemesis, and at the time, it was unclear if we would ever see the Next Generation fan favorite again. Stewart’s time as the character then seemed all but over when Star Trek was rebooted with J. J. Abrams’ new movie universe, taking the franchise in an all-new direction. However, Stewart’s return to the role was apparently just a matter of time, and although the series has just begun, it’s quickly become an instant hit with Star Trek series fans.
The first episode of Star Trek: Picard is currently streaming on YouTube, and clicking these words will take you to the video to watch it for free. To watch along with the rest of the show’s freshman season as new episodes are made available, you can subscribe to CBS All Access at the streamer’s official website.
