With Star Trek: Picard Season 2 starting up March 3rd on Paramount +, I recently got to speak with Patrick Stewart about the new season. If you haven’t seen the trailers, Picard Season 2 features the return of John de Lancie’s Q, Whoopi Goldberg's Guinan, the Borg queen (Annie Wersching), time travel to the 21st century, and what looks like a lot of action and surprises. In addition, while Picard Season 2 is about to start streaming, the cast and crew are hard at work on Picard Season 3, which will be the last installment of the series.
During the interview, Stewart talked about the main difference between filming Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Picard, and how the Picard series finale (which they’re currently filming) leaves a question mark hanging over Jean-Luc’s head. He also said:
“Followers of Picard will find that we get to the very end of season three, and the resolution is unexpected and questionable. And I'm thrilled about that because it leaves a question mark hanging over his head.”
Star Trek: Picard also stars Alison Pill, Isa Briones, Evan Evagora, and Santiago Cabrera. Picard is produced by CBS Studios in association with Secret Hideout and Roddenberry Entertainment. For Season 2, Alex Kurtzman, Akiva Goldsman, Terry Matalas, Stewart, Heather Kadin, Rod Roddenberry, Trevor Roth, Doug Aarniokoski, and Dylan Massin serve as executive producers; Aaron Baiers (Secret Hideout) and Kirsten Beyer serve as co-executive producers. Akiva Goldsman and Terry Matalas serve as co-showrunners for Season 2.
