Star Trek: Picard Season 3 Might Not Be the End of Picard After All

Star Trek: Picard was represented on the Paramount+ occasion for the Television Critics’ Association right now, however not a lot information was shared about the sequence—unsurprisingly, because it kicks off its third and ultimate season subsequent month. Or does it? Despite what it clearly says on the brand new poster seen under, Jean-Luc Picard himself had some vaguely teasing remarks on the topic.

As Deadline reports, Patrick Stewart doesn’t sound completely able to say farewell to his long-running character, even after the tip of season three: “There is still enormous potential for matters in what we can do and there are doors left open and we didn’t close all of them,” he stated.

Executive producer Alex Kurtzman had an identical assertion within the vague-yet-hopeful vein: “anything is possible … if the show blows the doors off the place, and we’re certainly hoping it will as we’re very proud of season three, who knows.”

So many door metaphors, and a bit of deja vu too. Who is aware of… what precisely? A totally totally different Star Trek sequence that simply so occurs to drag Picard into the story occasionally? Some method of Picard spin-off, which might be a spin-off of a spin-off? A Picard Holiday Special? If season three of Picard takes the world by storm, and Stewart remains to be keen to play the character, it’s important to assume something is hypothetically attainable.

Season three of Picard will probably be a Star Trek: Next Generation reunion of types, with LeVar Burton, Michael Dorn, Jonathan Frakes, Gates McFadden, Marina Sirtis, Brent Spiner, Jeri Ryan, and Michelle Hurd filling out the forged alongside Stewart. Terry Matalas, who co-showran season two with Akiva Goldsman, is the only real showrunner on season three. You can stream seasons one and two of Star Trek: Picard on Paramount+; the third and ultimate season premieres February 16, with new episodes of the 10-episode season streaming weekly on Thursdays.
