SDCC 19: CBS goes big with Star Trek

CBS All Access, the network’s streaming service, will be landing at Comic Con with plenty of Star Trek in tow. And yes, that will include Picard.

Trekking to San Diego

For the first time in a long time, Star Trek will have a major presence at a major Con. The Con, of course, is San Diego, coming up this month. And the presence will include all of the current the near-future Trek shows, plus some cool stuff to do.

Here’s how it shakes out:

  • Over 50 years ago, the world was first introduced to what would quickly become a cultural phenomenon for the ages. “Star Trek” broke barriers then and continues to do so now, inspiring people of all generations and walks of life with its celebration of cultural diversity, scientific exploration and the pursuit of uncharted frontiers. Today, the “Star Trek” universe continues to thrive, exploring all new missions for Starfleet. CBS All Access invites you to join the cast and producers of its hit series STAR TREK: DISCOVERY and be the first to hear about two new upcoming additions to the “Star Trek” universe: the highly anticipated new series STAR TREK: PICARD, starring Sir Patrick Stewart, and the animated series STAR TREK: LOWER DECKS. 
  • The STAR TREK: DISCOVERY cast scheduled to appear includes Sonequa Martin-Green alongside executive producers Alex Kurtzman, Michelle Paradise and Heather Kadin, with series guest star Tig Notaro, who plays Chief Engineer Reno, moderating the conversation. 
  • The STAR TREK: LOWER DECKS panel will feature co-creator and executive producer Mike McMahan and surprise guests sharing an exclusive first look at the upcoming animated series. 
  • STAR TREK: PICARD cast members will come together for the series’ first Comic-Con.
