Star Trek: Picard's Borg Queen actor Annie Wersching shared a BTS photo on social media featuring her and Patrick Stewart filming the new season. The popular Star Trek antagonist made their debut in the 1996 movie Star Trek: First Contact, portrayed by Alice Krige. The Borg Queen is set to have a recurring role throughout Star Trek: Picard season 2.
Introduced in Star Trek: First Contact, the Borg Queen is seen as an avatar of the Borg's collective consciousness and overall intelligence, leading the forces of the cybernetic organisms throughout the Collective hive mind. While the Borg were introduced in Star Trek: The Next Generation, the Queen debuted later in the film and has since appeared throughout other installments in the sci-fi franchise, including Star Trek: Voyager and Star Trek: Lower Decks. Previously portrayed by Krige and Susanna Thompson across First Contact, Voyager, and Lower Decks, Wersching was revealed to be cast as the Borg Queen on September 3, 2021. Following the Borg Queen's return in Star Trek: Picard's season 2 premiere, Wersching has shared a behind-the-scenes photo from production on the show.
