Australian actor, known for The Vampire Diaries and Hemlock Grove, who played the astronaut Renée Picard, Jean-Luc's ancestor, in the second season of Star Trek: Picard.
Penelope Mitchell is an Australian actor, born in Melbourne, whose credits include Letha Godfrey in Hemlock Grove, Liv Parker in The Vampire Diaries and the 2019 film Hellboy.
In the second season of Star Trek: Picard she plays Renée Picard, a gifted but anxious young astronaut assigned to the Europa Mission of 2024. Q is working to undermine her confidence so that she withdraws, an act that would lead to the grim Confederation future.
Mitchell appears from Fly Me to the Moon onwards. Picard and his crew infiltrate the pre-launch gala to protect her, and in Farewell Tallinn takes her place to foil Adam Soong's attempt on her life. Renée flies the mission and makes the discovery on Io that secures the timeline.
