Despite the good fortune of having Sir Patrick Stewart return to the role of Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: Picard, the series’ conclusion feels far too close.
Season two is complete, and there’s only one more episode to go until we say goodbye to the series forever. But will the character be killed off, or will he pop up again in the ever-expanding Star Trek universe?
We won’t have to wait quite as long for Season 2 as we did for Season 3. The executives at Star Trek filmed seasons two and three consecutively to make up for time lost during the pandemic.
You have to admit, it’s a clever idea. We’re now only waiting for the series to be assembled and given the Hollywood treatment in terms of special effects so that it may be shown to our devoted audience.
So, what can we expect from the climactic chapter?
Join us as we venture forth into Picard’s universe one last time and speculate on the next events of the series’ third and final season here at Digital Spy.
When Will the Third Season of Star Trek: Picard Premiere?
Fans of Star Trek: Picard can rest easy knowing that the series’ third and final season will arrive on February 12, 2023. Along with the announcement was a brand new teaser trailer (more on that below).
Having to film Season 3 so soon after Season 2 was a challenge for everyone involved, especially Patrick Stewart.
As the second season came to a close, everyone’s favorite captain told Variety that production on season three had concluded in March of 2022. Sir Patrick said he was “still healing from it” five weeks later, and that has us quite excited for what’s to come.
Sir Patrick remarked, “It was really intense.” “We finished shooting all 10 episodes of Season 2 at 7 p.m., and we immediately began shooting Episode 1 of Season 3 at the same time the next day. And I would estimate that this continued for a total of 13 months. It’s been more than a year, I’m sure of it.”
Predictions for Picard’s Third Season
Two events from previous Star Trek films were carried over into the first season of Star Trek: Picard. The destruction of Romulus in Star Trek (2009) and the death of Data in Star Trek:
Nemesis (2002) (which Picard deals with all during the first season) (which was used to introduce the synthetic humans that helped prevent the rescue of Romulan refugees and ultimately set the stage for Picard to resign from Star Fleet). Picard is pressured to aid the synths after learning that two synthetic twins are linked to his old buddy Data, who are themselves subject to the ban.

Warning: the events of this article lead to the climax of Season 1 and reveal that Picard becomes a synthetic to stave off his own death after discovering the residence of Data’s original creator.
This leads us back to where we left Picard before: on the La Sirena with a ragtag crew, ready to set sail for new horizons. At the beginning of the second season, Picard and a few of his pals from Star Trek:
The Next Generation (including Seven of Nine (Jerri Ryan) and Raffi Musiker (Michelle Hurd)) are transferred to the year 2024. A xenophobic version of Starfleet, the Confederation of Earth, is out to eliminate all aliens, and Picard and his crew must figure out what the all-powerful Q (John De Lancie) has done to alter the timeline and stop this from happening.
In the first Season 3 trailer, Picard can be seen digging through his old Star Trek: The Next Generation uniform before joining forces with his old comrade, Riker (Jonathan Frakes), to point phasers in the same direction. The trailer also hints at the return of fan-favorite characters like Brent Spinner’s Data and Levar Burton’s Geordi La Forge for the upcoming third season.
Season three’s official trailer is similarly light on story details, although it does introduce a new ship: the USS Titan, under the command of Captain William T. Riker. Also, a Federation building blows up on the screen, and Dr. Crusher uses a gun to fend off some unknown foes.
