etcanada.com:

Patrick Stewart will be returning to his most iconic role one more time, suiting up as Jean-Luc Picard for the second season of “Star Trek: Picard”.

For fans of “Star Trek: The Next Generation”, the new season delivers an embarrassment of riches, including uber-nemesis the Borg, plus the reappearance of Q (once again played by John de Lancie) and Guinan (Whoopi Goldberg).

Reuniting with de Lancie and Goldberg, Stewart told ET Canada, “was extraordinary,” but revealed it’s Q who drives the season’s storyline.

But Q may not be living forever. I don’t know. I’m not teasing you with that, but I don’t know. It’s just a possibility.” As for reuniting with Goldberg, Stewart admitted it’s something he’d been wanting to do for some time. “Well, from the day that she arrived on the set of ‘Next Generation’ and gave me her reasons for wanting to do ‘Star Trek’, she pressured herself on ‘Star Trek’ because she wanted to be part of it.
