It’s a Star Trek: The Next Generation reunion! TrekMovie reports Marina Sirtis and Jonathan Frakes will reunite for season two of the FOX series The Orville.

Sirtis and Frakes played Deanna Troi and William Riker, respectively, on Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Season two of The Orville premieres on FOX on December 30th.

Here’s what Sirtis had to say about Frakes as a director:

He is a force of nature and he gets it. There are two types of directors. Directors who like to do whizzy things with the camera and shots and all that. And then there the directors who are really good with actors. They usually fall into two separate groups. This one [pointing to Frakes] is both…The studio loves him, the actors loves him, the crew would walk on glass for him. It’s a happy set. The work gets done. There is no tension. There is no angst. You know you are going to get the work done. You are producing a good product. You got a great guy at the helm. It’s perfect, perfect.”
