STAR TREK:PICARD - MICHELLE HURD INTERVIEW

Trekkies rejoice!  Star Trek: Picard is now on home video!

“Boldly going where no ‘Star Trek’ show has gone before” (Vanity Fair), "Star Trek: Picard" features Patrick Stewart as he reprises his iconic role as Jean-Luc Picard, the role he made famous for seven seasons on "Star Trek: The Next Generation."

One of the most fascinating characters to join the cast is former Starfleet Lt. Commander Raffi Musiker, played by Michelle Hurd. Raffi was revealed to be the former First Officer and close friend of Admiral Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) but they had a bitter falling out when Star Trek: Picard season 1 picked up their story.

Initially isolated and disillusioned with Starfleet and Picard, Raffi is pulled back into space when she joins Jean-Luc's mission to find Soji (Isa Briones), the synthetic daughter of the late Commander Data (Brent Spiner). While Raffi is nursing a substance addiction and her anger at being ostracized from Starfleet because of Picard, she becomes an important part of the Starfleet legend's new quest, which resulted in the ragtag crew of the starship La Sirena saving the galaxy from an ancient synthetic threat coming from beyond the galaxy. 

Season one of the hit CBS All Access' original series is available now on Blu-ray, DVD and Limited Edition Steelbook from CBS Home Entertainment and Paramount Home Entertainment. The collection includes all 10 episodes and over two hours of exclusive special features, including behind-the-scenes featurettes, deleted scenes, gag reel and insightful commentary on the premiere episode.

Michelle Hurd is best known for her work in television, including roles on "Hawaii Five-0," "Law & Order: SVU," "ER," "Daredevil" and "Blindspot."
