This weekend's 2-minute preview shows Patrick Stewart as Jean-Luc Picard, former captain of the spaceship Enterprise, now living with his dog near a beautiful vineyard that can be watered by drones.

In one scene, Picard recalls how nearly two decades earlier, his friend Data sacrificed himself to save Picard's life.

He opens a drawer to reveal the dismembered android that was once Data.

"I really tried to belong here, but it never truly felt like home," Picard is heard saying in voice-over as he stares at the sky.

A young woman arrives later and asks Picard for help, prompting him to head to a city where he reports the incident to officials.

The clip ends with Picard back commanding the crew of a ship and saying, "Engage."

Also spotted in the trailer are new crew members played by Alison Pill, Harry Treadaway and Santiago Cabrera.
