19 TV Shows to Watch in January

Series debuts January 23 on CBS All Access. One of several new Star Trek series in the works at streaming service CBS All Access (our sister company), Picard returns fan favorite Patrick Stewart as former (yes, former) Starfleet Captain/Admiral Jean-Luc Picard in a story that picks up over two decades after the events of Star Trek: The Next Generation and its various film spinoffs. Filling out the main cast are Michelle Hurd, Santiago Cabrera, Alison Pill, Isa Briones, and Harry Treadaway, but you'll also see some familiar faces from TNG (and Voyager), including Brent Spiner, Jonathan Frakes (who also directs several episodes), Marina Sirtis, Jonathan del Arco (who guest starred in TNG as Borg member "Hugh"), and Jeri Ryan. Novelist Michael Chabon is among the writers and serves as showrunner for the 10-episode season, which is not a miniseries as originally believed (and has in fact already been renewed for a 2nd season). Note that if you live outside the U.S., you'll be able to find Picard on Amazon's Prime Video.
