Star Trek: Picard, the upcoming CBS All-Access show that continues the story of Star Trek: The Next Generation’s Captain Jean-Luc Picard, has reportedly been renewed before the season one premiere has even aired.
Deadline reports that a second season is all but officially confirmed thanks to the revelation that over $20.4 million in California tax incentives have been allocated to the Alex Kurtzman-led project. CBS has refused to comment on any plans for a second season, but that money trail certainly suggests something big. For comparison, the first season was awarded $15.6 million this time last year, which certainly paints a picture of a second season being put in place.
