Now, we don’t yet know much about the exact plot of Starfleet Academy, but considering that it’s set in the 32nd century, it’s a sure bet that Picardo will again be playing the holographic Doctor rather than, say, the very human Lewis Zimmerman.
As Prodigy fans know, Picardo’s character is just as acerbic as ever before and often steamrolls over others in conversations. In this new show, however, there is a good chance he will frequently clash with Tig Notaro, and this is the kind of verbal sparring fans have waited literally decades to see.
