To answer the question of why we should care about Paramount Plus,<\/a> the service is going back to the well of nostalgia and snagging some of our favorite Star Trek: The Next Generation<\/em> characters<\/a> to be featured in season 3 of Star Trek: Picard.<\/em> <\/p>\n
A brief trailer for the news shows just Patrick Stewart in his role as Jean-Luc Picard but uses voiceovers to tease the upcoming appearances of LeVar Burton, Michael Dorn, Jonathan Frakes, Gates McFadden, Marina Sirtis, and Brent Spiner. <\/p>\n
\n<\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"gicCne\">Without showing them, it\u2019s unclear if we\u2019ll see the use of often-controversial de-aging technology applied to the stars or if there\u2019s any other plan to deal with the impact of time and plot circumstances. Guinan\u2019s return in season 2 has included both Whoopi Goldberg and a new performer, Ito Aghayere, assuming the role of young Guinan, as well as some timeline chicanery. So anything seems possible for William Riker, Beverly Crusher, Geordi La Forge, Deanna Troi, Worf, and Data.<\/p>\n<p id=\"Ox4kfU\">The third season will be <em>Picard\u2019s <\/em>last, and in a statement, showrunner and EP Terry Matalas says \u201cit\u2019s most fitting that the story of Jean-Luc Picard ends honoring the beginning, with his dearest and most loyal friends from the U.S.S. Enterprise.\u201d Co-EP Christopher Monfette <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/cwmonfette\/status\/1501077579557523461\">confirmed<\/a> the third season finished filming last month.<\/p>\n<p id=\"eglPiS\">There\u2019s no release date mentioned for the show\u2019s third season, although season 2 is still airing, with new episodes arriving each Thursday and episode 6 poised to drop this week. Today\u2019s announcement was timed to coincide with \u201cFirst Contact Day,\u201d celebrating the 2063 date in Star Trek lore marking when humans and Vulcans meet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><code><br \/><\/br><\/code><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2022\/4\/5\/23011773\/star-trek-paramount-plus-tng-picard-data-william-riker\">https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2022\/4\/5\/23011773\/star-trek-paramount-plus-tng-picard-data-william-riker<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source: To answer the question of why we should care about Paramount Plus, the service is going back to the well of nostalgia and snagging some of our favorite Star Trek: The Next Generation characters to be featured in season 3 of Star Trek: Picard.
