The trials never end for our favorite former Starfleet Admiral as Star Trek: Picard returns to our screens for its second season this week. The show follows Picard (Patrick Stewart), Agnes Jurati (Alison Pill) and Rios (Santiago Cabrera) aboard the La Sirena for a whole new adventure that traverses space and time. Star Trek: Picard’s sophomore season features the return of The Next Generation alumni such as Whoopi Goldberg’s Guinan and the god-like Q played by John De Lancie. Looking for a way to catch the latest episodes as they arrive? Check out our guide on how to watch Star Trek: Picard season 2 online.
Last season’s adventures saw Jean-Luc Picard and the ragtag crew of the La Sirena on a planet-hopping quest that involved Romulan assassins, the Borg and the return of fan-favorite Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan). Though the fate of the universe was on the line, they still found time to drop in on some old friends, including William Riker (Jonathan Frakes) and Deanna Troi (Marina Sirtis). So how do you top such a stacked first season? Well, while it’s sister-show Star Trek: Discovery has currently been catapulted into the future, Star Trek: Picard is heading to the year 2024 to fix a broken timeline that has corrupted the 24th century as we previously knew it.
Without giving too much away about what the upcoming season has in store, let's get right to how and where you can watch Star Trek: Picard online in the U.K., U.S., Canada and Australia.

How to watch Star Trek: Picard season 2 online in the UK
Paramount+ isn’t yet available in the UK, but that could be set to change this summer, according to a recent ViacomCBS investor day meeting. The news was made public after ViacomCBS struck a deal with British broadcaster Sky to bring the streaming platform to the UK, and other parts of Europe, back in August of 2021. The deal is poised to offer Sky Cinema subscribers complimentary access to Paramount+.
However, in the meantime, Trekkies in the UK won’t have the same difficulties catching the latest episodes of Star Trek: Picard as they do with sister show Star Trek: Discovery. While the latter requires tuning into a live broadcast on the PlutoTV platform, Picard fans can catch the latest episodes of Star Trek: Picard on Amazon Prime Video. Episodes are released to Amazon’s On Demand service one day later than Paramount+ subscribers; it will be available every week on Fridays at 12 a.m. GMT starting March 4.
How to watch Star Trek: Picard season 2 while abroad
While services like Amazon Prime Video are available in over 200+ countries, other On Demand options like Paramount+, Crave and CTV On Demand aren’t so ubiquitous. This means if you are a subscriber to these platforms, and you’re looking to head abroad over the course of Star Trek: Picard’s second season, you may be left unable to watch from your new locale.
While you could technically sign up for a more region-friendly On Demand service, you may want to consider a VPN.
