Created by Akiva Goldsman, Michael Chabon, Kirsten Beyer, and Alex Kurtzman, Star Trek: Picard is an American television series. It is the eighth Star Trek series and was launched in 2020 as part of Kurtzman’s expanded Star Trek Universe.
Star Trek: Picard premiered on CBS All Access on January 23, 2020, and its first season ran for 10 episodes until March 26. The second season was released on Paramount+ from March 3 to May 5, 2022, with the third and final season expected to premiere soon.
So, when the upcoming season is releasing? What is the plot? Who would come back to reprise their roles? Continue reading to know further details.
Star Trek: Picard Plot and Cast
More specific plot points remain elusive for now, although Stewart did tease that season three could be the most interesting of all:
“When I read for the first time the ending of season two, I do remember one of the things that I said was, ‘Where the hell are we going to go from here?’ Because it almost seemed that there was a conclusion. I wondered for a moment, ‘Oh dear, are we going to be wrapped early, and the show will disappear?’ But we did not. And season three, in many respects, proved to me to be among the most interesting of episodes and moments that we had in the whole show.”
But what does the future hold beyond that? Well, comments by Sir Patrick seemingly put a full stop to the world past the final batch of episodes. “I think that Picard has said his last sentence and given his last look at his colleagues,” he told Variety. “I think the way we close season three is perfect. Perfect. It makes me emotional each time I think of it, but it’s great.”
Following the events of season two, we expect the following cast members will return for Picard season three, including Patrick Stewart as Jean-Luc Picard, Michelle Hurd as Rafaella “Raffi” Musiker, and Evan Evagora as Elnor, and Jeri Ryan as Seven of Nine.
Thankfully, some very special cast members have been lined up to take their place. These include LeVar Burton, Michael Dorn, Gates McFadden, Jonathan Frakes, Marina Sirtis, and Brent Spiner.
Star Trek: Picard Season 3 Release Date
As previously mentioned, Season 3 was filmed immediately after Season 2, which wasn’t exactly easy for anyone involved, least of all Patrick Stewart.
We predict the series should be arriving on our screens in early 2023, factoring in time for post-production and previous release schedules. As of June 2022, there’s still been no official announcement.
Star Trek: Picard Season 3 Trailer
We’ll probably have to wait until early 2023 for anything even resembling a new trailer, unfortunately. Check out the trailer of the previous season below:
