Sir Patrick Stewart reunited with his longtime Star Trek co-star Brent Spiner for dinner in Los Angeles on Monday night.

Joining the 83-year-old Yorkshireman and the 75-year-old Texan was their other longtime co-star Jonathan Frakes, who also directs multiple Star Trek TV series.

Patrick was wearing a grey flatcap with a dark plaid shirt and grey jeans while Brent opted for a black jacket over a matching sweater and blue jeans.

Brent was carrying a take-out bag following their lively meal out.

It's been 37 years since the talented trio originated the roles of android Lieutenant Commander Data, Commander William T. Riker, and Captain Jean-Luc Picard on CBS series Star Trek: The Next Generation, which aired for seven seasons spanning 1987-1994.

Frakes and Spiner recently got to reprise their Starfleet roles in the first as well as the third (and final) season of Stewart's Paramount+ spin-off, Star Trek: Picard.

'I am gently pushing Paramount to let us do one single Picard movie,' the Grammy winner told TIME on September 28.

'Not a Next Generation movie, as we have already done four of those. This would be an expansion and deepening of the universe as we've seen it in Star Trek: Picard. I've discussed this with Jonathan, Brent, and LeVar [Burton], and they are all game. Jonathan is my first choice to direct it.'

On January 4, Patrick revealed the script was nearly complete while appearing on Josh Horowitz's Happy Sad Confused podcast (which was technically taped in late November).

'I've been told to expect to receive it within a week or so,' Stewart teased.

'I'm so excited because it sounds like the kind of project where the experimentation that I want to do will be essential for this kind of material. It's good at 83.'

The Making It So author is rumored to be reprising his role as Professor X aka Charles Xavier in Shawn Levy's MCU film Deadpool & Wolverine - hitting US/UK theaters July 26 - alongside Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman.

On the personal front, Patrick and his third wife Sunny Ozell celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary on September 7.

Stewart is 38 years older than the Nevada-born singer, whom he originally met in 2008 when she waited on his table at Brooklyn restaurant Franny's.

The American Dad actor fathered two adult children - son Daniel, 57; and daughter Sophie - during his 24-year marriage to Sheila Falconer, which ended in 1990.
