The additional season of Star Trek: Picard is just around the corner, and it looks to swing big. The new season will bring Q (John de Lancie) back into the fold. The mischievous persons will alter the fabric of reality and show Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) a sideways reality where he laws the galaxy as a fascist. Then, Picard gathers his team to go back in time to our world to stop that reality from coming to pass.
That is some straight-up sci-fi stuff gleaming there. My interest is definitely piqued.
And there’s quiet (at least) one more season of Picard left after this. And apparently it’s moving to introduce some changes, as co-showrunner Terry Matalas described to SFX Magazine. [I]n season three, there are some game-changing Star Trek Universe ideas,” he said. “Season two, as epic in scope as it is, is an persons story.”
So what kinds of game-changing ideas are we talking nearby in season 3? Matalas was right-lipped, but he did funds a couple of hints. “There are a few nods to the Kirk movies. I grew up with the original series and the Kirk movies. That’s my Star Trek,” he said. “So you’ll see a few of those things kind of tie some Star Trek together. And I think [co-showrunner Akiva Goldsman] has constructed a really intelligent and heartbreaking psychological exploration of Picard that no one is expecting.”
My inner fanboy is kind of on fire with the stuff that I’ve been able to do. There’s a lot of things that I can’t talk nearby yet that I’m just bursting at the seams to talk nearby. There’s been a lot of absolutely legendary moments that have been in the last year with no press yet. There are starship designs and things for the next two seasons that I’m really mad about.
He seems to have been sharing Come looks at these designs and references on social media:
Word is that season 3 will be the last season of Star Trek: Picard — Patrick Stewart is 81 ages old, after all — but co-showrunner Akiva Goldsman told SFX that anything could been. “God knows what the future will bring,” he said.
And if there isn’t a fourth season, there may be spinoffs. “Are there things in Picard that could be their own storytelling arc? Or their own storytelling spines? Yeah, for sure,” Goldsman said. “Is that the direction of the expansion of the Star Trek Universe? That turns out to be throughout my pay grade.”
Matalas also weighed in on this possibility: “What more is coming in that story? It’s definitely my accepted time period. To me, Star Trek: Picard is the present day of Star Trek. And what’s going on in that particular world is very important to me. So stay tuned, that’s what I’ll say.”
Star Trek: Picard season 2 premieres on March 3 on Paramount+.
