Star Trek: Picard has added a new actor to its season 2 cast with Annie Wersching (Bosch, Runaways, The Rookie) coming aboard to play the Borg Queen. That’s right, we will see Jean-Luc squaring off against an old adversary in the second season of the Paramount Plus series. Wersching will now be the third actress to take on the role after Alice Krige played the leader of the Borg Collective in the film “Star Trek: First Contact” and in the “Star Trek: Voyager” series finale. Susanna Thompson also played the character in multiple episodes of “Voyager.”

Exactly how the Borg Queen will factor into Season 2 is unknown, but chances are it will involve some manner of time travel.

Variety reports, “An early trailer for the new season, which also gave fans a tease of John de Lancie returning as Q, hinted that time would be a major theme of the next installment of the series.”

Picard stars Patrick Stewart, reprising the iconic role of the Starfleet captain that he made famous in Star Trek: The Next Generation. Brent Spiner, Jonathan Frakes, and Marina Sirtis also appeared in Season 1 along with Voyager alum Jeri Ryan. Jonathan Del Arco also reprised the role of Hugh, the former Borg drone.

Are you pumped for the second season of Picard?
