An awesome new trailer for the upcoming third and final season of Star Trek: Picard has been released (via SFFGazette.com) and we're confident fans of The Next Generation will love everything about this latest preview.
Many of Jean-Luc's old allies return, this time to face Amanda Plummer's terrifying Vadic, the alien Captain of the warship Shrike who is looking to lay waste to the United Federation of Planets. We see that a distress call from Crusher is what prompts the iconic crew to return to action, though we're also getting some new additions to the Paramount+ series.
Ashlei Sharpe Chestnut is set to play Ensign Sidney La Forge, the eldest daughter of Burton's Geordi La Forge and helmsman of the U.S.S. Titan. Mica Burton, LeVar Burton's real-life daughter, will take on the role of Geordi's youngest child, Alandra La Forge.
Talking at a panel for Star Trek: Picard at New York Comic Con, Sir Patrick Stewart strongly hinted that his time as Jean-Luc may not be over, even with this show's end now imminent. "I understand there are Paramount+ people here...and Paramount Pictures...we could still make a movie," the legendary actor teased.
