"I felt it important that we put a lot of distance between Next Generation and what we're doing [on Picard]," Stewart said in January 2020. "There was actually nothing that strange to be stepping into Star Trek: Picard because he's never actually left me. He's always been there. It's a relationship that I'm happy to continue. That's an understatement. I'm absolutely thrilled."
