For most of the episodes, there is only one character from the original series in the new story (I don't count Givens' daughter, who was a baby in the original series and is a teen played by Olyphant's real-life daughter in the revival). The season, which dropped earlier this year, reunited most major characters from Star Trek: The Next Generation in a new adventure which allowed old characters to show fresh sides in a show with amped-up, modern special effects. Nearly 30 years after the original series stopped making new episodes, the Picard revival was so successful it sparked an online petition by fans to continue the story in a new series based on a beloved video game, Star Trek: Legacy.
