Why Picard Ending In Season 3 Shouldn't Shock Star Trek Fans
If Star Trek: Picard follows through on its plan to end after 3 seasons, it shouldn't come as a shock to Star Trek fans. After production was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Star Trek: Picard season 2 finally premieres on Paramount+ on March 3, 2022. Judging from the trailers, the second season of the Patrick Stewart-led show will be worth the wait. Along with nearly all of Star Trek: Picard season 1's characters returning, including Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan),Star Trek: Picard season 2 brings back Guinan (Whoopi Goldberg) and the Borg Queen (Annie Wersching) in a time travel/alternate reality story instigated by Q (John de Lance), who will show Jean-Luc «the road not taken.»
The fact that Patrick Stewart returned to play Jean-Luc Picard once more is almost a miracle in itself. When Stewart was initially approached by executive producer Alex Kurtzman and his team to bring back Picard in 2018, the then-77-year-old actor intended to turn them down. However, Stewart was intrigued by their proposal and story ideas because it was «so different» from other Star Trek stories. Star Trek: Picard season 1 debuted on CBS All-Access, which has since rebranded into Paramount+, in January 2020, and it set a new record for an original series on the streaming service. Star Trek: Picard season 2 was greenlit and slated to begin production in June 2020, but the pandemic shut down production in Los Angeles for months. Filming on Star Trek: Picard season 2 finally commenced in February 2021 with the plan being to shoot Picard seasons 2 and 3 back-to-back. As of January 2022, production onStar Trek: Picard season 3 is weeks away from completion.
