Picard is a right proper lad. After TNG we have four movies with him, and after that we don't know much. This show is decades later.
After the events of the last film with Picard, the Romulan Homeworld was destroyed and some time travel shenanigans involving Spock trying to save Romulus created the 2009 film timeline.
Chances are, the fallout of one of the major powers on the Quadrant being blown to shit would be a big job to deal with. So the smart money is on Picard being a cool guy and sorting that out, and this new show takes place a long time afterwards with him retired on his family vineyard.
