Star Trek: Picard season 3 was a huge hit as it reunites the crew of TNG, but is it possible Jean-Luc and friends could return for season 4?
Star Trek: Picard Season 3’s Success Is Due To Its Writing
Picard season 3 has been lauded by critics, fans, and the series’ cast
Star Trek: Picard season 3 received acclaim from critics and audiences upon its premiere, and the secret to season 3’s success is its writing. Showrunner Terry Matalas and Picard season 3’s writers room deftly melded the nostalgia from the reassembled cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation with an ingenious story about Admiral Picard and the USS Enterprise-D crew saving the galaxy from the Borg one last time. Picard season 3 not only moved the stories of the TNG icons forward, but it introduced instantly beloved new characters like Captain Liam Shaw (Todd Stashwick), Lt. Sidney La Forge (Ashlei Sharpe Chestnut), and Jack Crusher (Ed Speleers) to carry TNG‘s legacy into the future.
Paramount+ does not have a Star Trek: Picard spinoff in development.
Star Trek: Picard season 3’s actors from Patrick Stewart to Jonathan Frakes to Jeri Ryan to Gates McFadden have uniformly credited Terry Matalas for the brilliance of Picard‘s final season. But Matalas wisely knows it takes a village – or a team of incredibly talented writers – to deliver a TV series as celebrated as Picard season 3. Fans and everyone involved with Star Trek: Picard season 3 can only hope that the series of awards the final season is being recognized for isn’t the end and that Terry Matalas and his writers room will get to continue what they began with Picard‘s proposed spinoff, Star Trek: Legacy.
