Stewart will reprise his role as the venerable Jean-Luc Picard, which he played for seven seasons on "Star Trek: Next Generation." The series will follow this iconic character in the next chapter of his life, a joint statement from Amazon and CBS read.

"There's only one word that can begin to describe Sir Patrick Stewart as Starship Commander Jean-Luc Picard, and that's 'legendary'," said series executive producer Alex Kurtzman.

"We are thrilled beyond measure to have him back in command, bringing the optimistic messages of 'Star Trek' to audiences around the world," he said.

In the US, the series will be available exclusively on CBS All Access.

The series will also feature Alison Pill, Harry Treadaway, Isa Briones, Santiago Cabrera, Evan Evagora and Michelle Hurd.
