Star Trek: Picard Teaser Trailer (Updated)

While filming on Star Trek: Picard has just begun, that has not stopped CBS from releasing a teaser trailer. While its light on actual series footage with scenes that suggests a now retired Picard working the family vine yards. More importantly is the voice over that says that 15 years ago Admiral Picard led the largest rescue armada in history. Shortly after, for unknown reasons he left Starfleet. The time frame would be around the destruction of Romulus as depicted in 2009 Star Trek. It also suggests the central story is a crisis of faith (in Starfleeet? Fedeation? Himself?).

Update: CBS stopped blocking the teaser. Here is the relevant voice-over text and below that a new poster:
"15 years ago, today, you led us out of the darkness. You commanded the greatest rescue armada in history. Then the unimaginable. What did that cost you? Your faith? Your faith in us? Your faith in yourself? Tell us. Why did you leave Starfleet, Admiral?" It then concludes with the tag "The End Is Only The Beginning"
Currently there is no release date for the series but current assumption is late 2019.
