Fans are thrilled to see Star Trek: Picard back with season 3, with Sir Patrick Stewart leading the charge.

The legendary actor is back as Jean-Luc Picard for one final season of the show, but he’s certainly not alone. Star Trek icons including LeVar Burton, Michael Dorn and Gates McFadden who are reprising their roles as crew members Lt Commander Geordi La Forge, Worf and Dr Beverly Crusher.

While we’ve still got plenty more episodes to go, the season has started on a dramatic note, with a distress call and a brutal death in episodes 1 and 2.

Safe to say, there will be plenty more drama to come from the eight remaining episodes.

Actor Jeri Ryan previously revealed that season 3 will be the final season of Picard, saying: “And just like that, it’s done. That’s a series wrap on #StarTrekPicard. So surreal since season 2 has just started airing. I can’t wait for you all to see what’s to come in season 3! Huge love to our incredible cast and crew. What [a] journey this has been…”

When a fan asked whether this meant future seasons weren’t in the works, Ryan confirmed: “Nope, it was always intended to be 3 and done.”

However, it seems a fourth season isn’t entirely off the cards, with series producer Alex Kurtzman previously telling TVLine: “When we started the series, Patrick and I talked about really wanting it to just be three years, feeling like we could really tell a complete story with the season you’re now seeing as our endpoint.

“That being said, anything is possible. If a show blows the doors off the place, as we’re certainly hoping it will, and we’re very, very proud of season 3, who knows.”

For now though, here’s all the information you need on how to watch Star Trek: Picard season 3 in the UK.
