The most recent run of Patrick Stewart’s return to Star Trek wrapped up in May, and the complete ten-episode run of Star Trek: Picard Season 2 will be available for collectors to bring home on Blu-ray and DVD this fall.
Announced today through StarTrek.com, all ten episodes of the series’ second year will arrive in three-disc Blu-ray, Blu-ray Steelbook, and DVD collections on October 4, complete with an advertised hour of bonus features.
- THE U.S.S. STARGAZER: The featurette takes a deep dive into the creation of the U.S.S. Stargazer from conception to build out and features exclusive timelapse photography alongside Production Designer Dave Blass, who brought the original TNG art department onboard, including the famed Star Trek graphic artist Michael Okuda, and design artists Doug Drexler and John Eaves to recreate the latest U.S.S. Stargazer.
- THE CHATEAU: Led by Production Designer Dave Blass and Prop Master Jeff Lombardi, the featurette explores the transition of Picard’s chateau following its redesign and conversion to the Dataverse in season one.
- THE TRIAL IS OVER: The intimate, behind-the-scenes look connects fans with John de Lancie who reprises his role as Q, playing a significant part in the season two story arc.
- REBUILDING THE BORG QUEEN: The featurette showcases actress Annie Wersching as she discusses stepping into the role of the Borg Queen. After 25 years, the iconic character returns through advanced design and production techniques, which are further discussed by Designer Neville Page, Prosthetics Master Vincent Van Dyke and Make-Up Department Head James MacKinnon.

While it’s nice to see the Picard run continuing its Blu-ray Steelbook release packaging for physical media collectors — unlike Lower Decks, which dropped the special case release for its second season — the lack of audio commentary tracks in the Season 2 bonus features is a disappointment for those who enjoy those more-in-depth behind-the-scenes conversations about episodes.
We’ll have preorder links to Star Trek: Picard Season 2 as soon as they’re available, so be sure and check back soon if you want to add the episodes to your own collection!
