Make it so. Hanelle Culpepper is heralding a new frontier in the “Star Trek” franchise. She’s helming the first two episodes of the upcoming Jean-Luc Picard series, “making her the first woman to direct a pilot or debut episode of a Starfleet series in the franchise’s 53-year history,” Deadline reports.

Currently untitled, the Picard-led CBS All Access series sees Patrick Stewart “reprising his iconic role as Jean-Luc Picard, which he played for seven seasons on ‘Star Trek: Next Generation.’ The new series will follow the iconic character into the next chapter of his life,” the source summarizes.

No stranger to the “Star Trek” universe, Culpepper previously directed two eps of CBS All Access’ “Star Trek: Discovery.” “Supergirl,” “How to Get Away with Murder,” and “Empire” are also among her extensive TV credits. She’s directed two features, 2012’s “Murder on the 13th Floor” and 2009’s “Within.”

“Hanelle is a gifted and dynamic filmmaker whose directorial choices are always deeply rooted in character,” said showrunner Alex Kurtzman. “I’ve been a huge fan of her work since she started with us on ‘Discovery,’ and she’s the perfect person to re-introduce the beloved character of Picard to longtime fans and new viewers alike. We’re thrilled she’s joining our ‘Trek’ family on this next adventure.”

S.J. Clarkson is signed on to direct “Star Trek 4,” making her the first woman to direct a feature in the “Star Trek” franchise.
