Will there be a Picard spin-off? Terry Matalas, the showrunner for Star Trek: Picard season 3, has confirmed that there is currently no development underway for a Star Trek: Legacy spinoff of Picard on Paramount+. Despite the vast possibilities offered by Star Trek's 25th century, such a spinoff is not in the works.
Will there be another Star Trek series after Picard?
Even with 2023's final season of Picard, there are no fewer than four ongoing Star Trek series right now — with even more on the way, and the return of the franchise to the big screen, with multiple movies in the works.
Star Trek: Picard season 3 showrunner Terry Matalas confirms there is no Star Trek: Legacy spinoff of Picard in development at Paramount+ despite the richness and potential of Star Trek's 25th century.
Q seemed frightened of Guinan, telling Picard that she is "not what she appears to be," and that Picard should remove her from the Enterprise. Considering Q's abilities, it's unclear why he would be afraid of Guinan, and Star Trek has never offered a real explanation for Q's reaction.
Despite disobeying orders, Seven eventually earns the respect of Captain Shaw, and he recommends she be promoted to Captain. Seven of Nine becomes Captain of the newly rechristened USS Enterprise-G at the end of Star Trek: Picard season 3, setting her up as the lead for the potential spinoff, Star Trek: Legacy.
“Quoting Paramount, Star Trek: Legacy isn't a thing,” he states, “so it's not in development and it's not in any way moving forward. Until that changes, it's just a cool idea. It's like Phase II of Star Trek: The Original Series. That actually got greenlit and was moving forward, but Legacy is just a nice idea.
Kirk's (William Shatner) adventures can be explained by their meeting in Star Trek Generations. Kirk and Picard encountered each other in the Nexus and teamed up to stop Dr. Tolian Soran (Malcolm McDowell) from destroying the Veridian star.
The most likely reason for Wesley's absence is that, in writing these final episodes, the decision was made to focus on the impact of Jack Crusher's existence on Jean-Luc. This is the final chapter of Jean-Luc Picard's story, so the focus on his legacy and his own next generation makes sense.
Wheaton took to Facebook to respond to a Gizmodo article on Picard's biggest unanswered questions, revealing Wesley has never met his brother and while he burns to visit his mother, he is forbidden because of his choice to give up his human life.
Beverly Crusher (Gates McFadden) in Star Trek: Picard season 3, Ed Speleers' Jack Crusher is an important character for Star Trek's future. However, as Star Trek: Legacy remains a hypothetical project for now, there's nowhere else in the current crop of Star Trek TV shows for Ed Speleers to appear as Jack Crusher.
Realizing they're the only thing standing between the assimilated fleet and an undefended Earth, Seven steps up and makes a very captain-esque speech: “I'm asking you not to give your lives for nothing,” she says, recognizing the insurmountable odds. “I'm asking you to fight for what's below. Your families.
Despite Star Trek: Picard season 3's success, there are currently no plans to make season 4 of the series. Patrick Stewart and producers Alex Kurtzman and Akiva Goldsman had always intended Star Trek: Picard to run for 3 seasons.
Star Trek 4 has faced numerous delays and struggles in getting off the ground, leaving its future uncertain. The underperformance of Star Trek Beyond and changes in creative direction have hindered the film's progress.
Despite uncertainties, the production of Star Trek: Section 31 and Lower Decks Season 5 are progressing smoothly. The final season of Star Trek: Discovery is set to premiere in April 2024, marking the end of Captain Burnham's voyages.
Discovery's cancelation doesn't negate its success in shaping a new era of Star Trek TV shows, according to Roddenberry Entertainment executive Trevor Roth. Despite Paramount+ canceling Discovery after season 5, Roth views the show as a trailblazer that laid the groundwork for future Star Trek series.
Captain Picard never appeared on Star Trek: Voyager. He was mentioned once by Deana Troi (who did appear, but never met Janeway) in the episode “Pathfinder”. The only time Picard and Janeway talk onscreen is in Star Trek: Nemesis when Janeway, having been promoted to vice admiral, gives him his assignment.
But as Beltran explained on Twitter, he declined to return. “I was offered an episode (first 2 then1) in Picard, but I simply did not like what they had written for Chakotay so I turned them down,” wrote Beltran.
In this episode, Picard is in search of ambassador Spock who may have defected to the Romulan Empire. This episode has been praised for the "novelty and nostalgia" of seeing Spock, and noted for introducing a peace-loving Romulan faction.
After Voyager ended in 2001, Ryan joined the cast of Boston Public as Veronica "Ronnie" Cooke, a frustrated lawyer who becomes a high school teacher. David E. Kelley, the series' producer, wrote the role specifically for her. The series ended in 2004.
Seven never met Jean-Luc Picard in her Star Trek: Voyager days. Her first encounter with the legendary Starfleet officer came in the Star Trek: Picard season 1 episode "Absolute Candor" after she saved La Sirena from a Romulan warlord.
Star Trek's Admiral Kathryn Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) has had one of Starfleet's most decorated careers, even managing to eventually outrank the legendary Star Trek: The Next Generation's Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart).
