HOLLYWOOD, CA — Sir Patrick Stewart's hand and footprints were forever immortalized outside of TCL Chinese Theater on Monday, the same day his new series was picked up for a second season by CBS All Access.

"I'm still not believing any of this," Stewart told reporters after pressing his hands and tennis shoes into the wet cement. "It's as if, at any moment, someone will say, 'Patrick! Get up! You're dreaming again!'"

One of his biggest honors, however, is a return to the character he made famous in the 1990s. Stewart is set to reprise his role as Capt. Jean-Luc Picard from "Star Trek: The Next Generation" — a character he portrayed for seven years — in the new series, "Star Trek: Picard," which premieres Jan. 23 on CBS All Access.
