Uproxx reports that "while speaking at the Las Vegas Star Trek Convention on Saturday, ... [Patrick Stewart] announced that he’s reprising his role as Jean-Luc Picard in a new Star Trek series for CBS All Access, the home of Star Trek: Discovery." He told the crowd, “It is... an unexpected but delightful surprise to find myself excited and invigorated to be returning to Jean-Luc Picard and to explore new dimensions within him. Seeking out new life for him, when I thought that life was over.”
