The cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation is set for an exciting reunion but Star Trek: Picard season 3 is making a big mistake by exiting the show's original cast to make room for the TNG icons. Star Trek: Picard season 2 was an epic time travel adventure that delved into the secret history of Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) and allowed him to move past his greatest regret so that he can have a chance at a romance with Laris (Orla Brady). Star Trek: Picard season 2 also brought back Guinan, played by Whoopi Goldberg and Ito Aghayere, and it gave a touching denouement to Q (John de Lancie) along with a surprise appearance by Wil Wheaton as Wesley Crusher.
Sadly, as of the end of Star Trek: Picard season 2, Alison Pill (Dr. Agnes Jurati), Santiago Cabrera (Cristobal Rios), Evan Evagora (Elnor), and Isa Briones (Soji/Kore Soong) all confirmed that they won't be part of Star Trek: Picard season 3. This leaves only Jeri Ryan (Seven of Nine) and Michelle Hurd (Raffi Musiker) to meet TNG's returning Jonathan Frakes (Will Riker), Marina Sirtis (Deanna Troi), Gates McFadden (Beverly Crusher), LeVar Burton (Geordi La Forge), and Michael Dorn (Worf). Meanwhile, Brent Spiner was part of every season ofStar Trek: Picard and he will return for season 3, although not as Data, who died in Star Trek: Nemesis and received a final farewell at the conclusion of Star Trek: Picard season 1. Star Trek: Picard season 3 will be the first timeThe Next Generation's cast will be fully reunited since 2002'sStar Trek: Nemesis and this one last adventure together is obviously meant to give the living legends a fitting farewell.
