The Star Trek: Picard panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2022 revealed details about the Star Trek: The Next Generation reunion that will take place in season 3. Picard first premiered in 2020 on Pramount+ and follows the retired admiral Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart). The show takes place in the 24th century, more than 20 years after the events of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Stewart reprises his iconic role as the admiral begins a new chapter in his life, though he is still affected by grief from his past.
Picard season 3 will be its last, as was planned from the series' onset. The show is poised to have a nostalgic ending as Paramount revealed the third season will see aStar Trek: The Next Generation reunion. The Next Generation premiered in 1987 and ran for seven seasons. It followed the adventures of Picard and his crew on the USS Enterprise. Picard takes place many years after his stint on the Enterprise and he has left that stage of his life far behind him. Hence, it has been quite some time since the original crew was together, making viewers question how the reunion will actually play out.
