  • ‘Star Trek: Picard’ to Reunite the ‘Next Generation’ Cast

    ‘Star Trek: Picard’ to Reunite the ‘Next Generation’ Cast

    Multiple Star Trek: Next Generation alumni are joining the Paramount+ Original Star Trek: Picard for its final season. The returning cast from Next Generation includes LeVar Burton, Michael Dorn, Jonathan Frakes, Gates McFadden, Marina Sirtis, and Brent Spiner. While multiple actors on this list have cameoed in Picard, this will be the first time McFadden and Burton have appeared.

    With Patrick Stewart reportedly saying goodbye to the character of Picard after the end of the third season, it’s great to see him getting to interact with other Star Trek characters before his departure. So, it’s certainly a way for them to give it one final hurrah and see the Next Generation cast unite once again. The third and final season of the show will be 10 episodes on Paramount+.

    Along with the news, a new teaser trailer for Season 3 was also released. Star Trek: Picard is currently streaming its two seasons on Paramount+. The show follows Picard as he and his team are trapped in an alternate reality by his nemesis, Q. It’s unclear where this unlikely adventure will leave Picard and his crew. The final season is definitely adding a lot of emotional weight to the final hurrah for everyone involved, which will definitely leave us with an emotional finale.

  • Paramount+ Unveils Release Dates and Renewals for Several ‘Star Trek’ Series

    Paramount+ Unveils Release Dates and Renewals for Several ‘Star Trek’ Series

    It looks like Paramount+ is about to boldly go into the next year, as the official Star Trek Twitter account shared quite a few announcements in one major wave. The new year will see the release of Discovery‘s fourth season as of February 10th, followed by Picard‘s second season on March 3rd, Strange New Worlds then on May 5th. That is quite the line-up of heavy hitters one after another. The Nickelodeon series Star Trek: Prodigy also will have new episodes from the first season through February 3rd with new ones announced for later in the year. It also looks like the third season of Lower Decks will return in the summer of this year.

    That is not all, as the announcements also include quite a few renewals. Lower Decks will get a fourth season, Discovery will also make a return with a fifth season while Strange New Worlds gets a second season renewal. Picard, surprisingly, did not get a renewal which may hint at it potentially ending in the second season, but they may also want to be keeping the door open to catch viewers by surprise. Still, it’s a massive move to renew three series on the same day, but they announced it with a set of great visuals highlighting each series, which you can check out here:

    It’s crazy to think just how many shows are currently running that explore different corners of the Star Trek universe. Lower Decks takes a comedic look at what it’s like living in a ship that travels through the galaxy to explore undiscovered parts of the galaxy. Discovery was part of the current revival of the franchise through TV series, which had mainly expanded in cinemas. It’ll be interesting to see if they have other projects cooking to further expand their franchise.
