Last month it was announced that Patrick Stewart is set to return to the role of Jean-Luc Picard for a new Star Trek: The Next Generation sequel series on CBS All Access, and now Stewart has taken to social media to reveal that work on the project is officially underway.

Star Trek: Discovery co-creator and executive producer Alex Kurtzman is overseeing developing on the new series, while the writers room includes Discovery’s Kirsten Beyer, Akiva Goldsman alongside Michael Chabon (John Carter), James Duff (The Closer) and Diandra Pendleton-Thompson.
So far, nothing is known about the new project, save for the fact that Stewart will be back as Picard and it will pick up his story years after we last saw him in command of the USS Enterprise-E in Star Trek: Nemesis.
