It\u2019s a good time to be a Star Trek fan at the moment, with new series\u00a0Strange New Worlds<\/a>\u00a0recently debuting in the US to some strong reviews<\/a>.<\/p>\n But while one series begins, another is looking towards its conclusion\u2013 with the second run of Star Trek: Picard having now wrapped up after another ten episodes focusing on the adventures of Patrick Stewart\u2019s beloved Starfleet officer.<\/p>\n There\u2019s still one more season to go before the series ends for good, with the final batch of episodes having been filmed back to back with the second season, and with reports of several returning cast members it looks like there\u2019s a lot for Trekkies to look forward to.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s everything we know so far about Star Trek Picard season 3.<\/p> It\u2019s too early to say exactly when the final season will be released \u2013 with no official release date having been announced as yet \u2013 but we do know that it will debut at some point in 2023.<\/p>\n We also know that filming has already wrapped on the series, with production on seasons two and three having taken place back to back, so the final run is unlikely to be hit by any unexpected delays.<\/p>\n With all that in mind, it seems likely that the season may launch at a similar time to the second run \u2013 so we\u2019d be looking at a US premiere date of some time in early March, with the UK release following just a few days later.<\/p>\n Should we hear any more concrete information, we\u2019ll update this page accordingly \u2013 so do keep checking back for all the latest news.<\/p>\n There\u2019s some exciting news when it comes to the cast for the final run \u2013 with no fewer than six familiar faces from Next Generation in line to return to the Star Trek universe.<\/p>\n LeVar Burton and Michael Dorn will reprise their roles as Lt Commander Geordi La Forge and Worf respectively, while Gates McFadden is also set to return as Dr. Beverly Crusher.<\/p>\n Meanwhile Jonathan Frakes, Marina Sirtis and Brent Spiner \u2013 who have all made brief appearances in the series so far \u2013will also have roles in the final run.<\/p>\n \u201cI remember watching the premiere of Star Trek: The Next Generation\u00a0almost 34 years ago with my father like it was yesterday. It was the spark that ignited my love for science fiction,\u201d said season three showrunner and executive producer Terry Matalas when the news was first announced in April.<\/p>\n \u201cSo, it\u2019s most fitting that the story of Jean-Luc Picard ends honoring the beginning, with his dearest and most loyal friends from the U.S.S. Enterprise. It would be an understatement to say that giving these characters a proper send-off is an honor. The entire Star Trek: Picard team and I can\u2019t wait for fans to experience this final, high-stakes, starship-bound adventure in season three!\u201d<\/p>\n Naturally, Patrick Stewart will be back as the title character \u2013 but it looks like he won\u2019t be joined by Agnes Jurati star Alison Pill after she revealed that she won\u2019t be returning for the final run.<\/p>\n \u201cI know that season three will be the end. I wasn\u2019t a part of season three, so I don\u2019t have much to say about it in terms of spoilers,\u201d she told MovieWeb<\/a>. \u201cI will get to watch along with everybody else.\u201d<\/p>\n It\u2019s unclear exactly which other cast members will be back for the final season, but we\u2019d expect Isa Briones, Harry Treadaway, Santiago Cabrera, Michelle Hurd and Evan Evagora to feature \u2013 while Whoopi Goldberg could also be back as Guinan.<\/p>\n It\u2019s a bit too early to talk about potential plot points at this stage \u2013 but given the returning cast members, it seems very likely the final run will see Picard dig into his past and be reunited with old friends.<\/p>\n We\u2019ll let you know when a more exact synopsis becomes available, but we can probably safely assume that the show won\u2019t go out without a bang.<\/p>\n A teaser for the final season was released before the second run had even stopped airing \u2013 which sees Picard claim that \u201cI am not a man who needs a legacy.\u201d Check it out below:<\/p>\nStar Trek: Picard season 3 release date speculation<\/h2>\n
