The Star Trek Universe will once again head to the Big Apple for the year’s final big convention panel on Saturday, October 8 — and this time, it’s going to be a major event for fans who grew up on Star Trek: The Next Generation.
Joining Alex Kurtzman, Star Trek: Picard showrunner Terry Matalas, and series lead Patrick Stewart (Jean-Luc Picard) will be the entire returning Next Generation cast — Gates McFadden (Beverly Crusher), Jonathan Frakes (Will Riker), LeVar Burton (Geordi La Forge), Michael Dorn (Worf), and Marina Sirtis (Troi) — all of whom will be part of the third and final season of Picard set to air in February.
Brent Spiner (Data in Next Gen, Alton Soong and Adam Soong in Picard) will also be part of the Star Trek: Picard discussion, likely giving us the first clues towards the actor’s mystery role in the upcoming adventure.
Also part of this year’s Star Trek Universe event will be a preview of things to come on Star Trek: Discovery, currently filming its fifth season in Toronto; series lead Sonequa Martin-Green (Michael Burnham) will be joined by Kurtzman and series showrunner Michelle Paradise.
Finally, the cast of the soon-to-return Star Trek: Prodigy will also bring news of the next story arc; voice actors Brett Gray (Dal), Ella Purnell (Gwyn), Kate Mulgrew (Janeway), and Jamila Jamil (Ensign Asencia of the Dauntless) will be joined by Kurtzman and executive producers Dan Hageman, Kevin Hageman, and Ben Hibon.
This year’s 90-minute Star Trek Universe panel will be held Saturday, October 8 at 4PM ET on the “Empire Stage” at New York Comic Con; while tickets for Saturday attendance are currently sold out, they can be purchased through an official reseller portal, or fans can explore the digital ticket option which will bring livestream feeds of the NYCC panels all weekend.
