Star Trek: Picard reunites the Next Generation crew when the series returns for its third and final season beginning September 16 on Paramount+, and today the streamer released the last big trailer for the upcoming adventure during the AFC Championship football game.
We hear from Worf (Michael Dorn) warning of an impending attack, Beverly Crusher (Gates McFadden) warning Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) not to trust anyone, Raffi Musiker (Michelle Hurd) on a dangerous planet, Vadic (Amanda Plummer) and Professor Moriarty (Daniel Davis) making threats, Geordi La Forge (LeVar Burton) arguing with Picard, Lore (Brent Spiner) taunting La Forge, Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan) in a firefight, Worf fighting Raffi, Crusher firing a phaser rifle… and the whole gang back together once more.
Along with the new preview, Paramount+ has also released the final key art for Picard Season 3, the second poster design unveiled after the first one arrived in early January.
Joining all of the returning stars on the poster is the first of two new cast members joining the series for the final season.
Actor Ed Speleers, best known for appearances on Outlander (Starz) and You (Netflix), is described as “a series regular who aids Beverly Crusher’s medical efforts on worlds Starfleet has forgotten.” The character’s name was not revealed in today’s announcement — so his identity is likely tied to the Season 3 storyline.
Picard Season 3 showrunner Terry Matalas also brings one of his 12 Monkeys leads to the 25th century this year, as actor Todd Stashwick beams aboard the USS Titan as the captain of the season’s hero starship. Stashwick will appear in a recurring role throughout Season 3.
This won’t be Stashwick’s first trip into the Star Trek universe, though; the actor played a Romulan infiltrator inside the Vulcan High Command back in Star Trek: Enterprise, appearing in Season 4’s “Kir’Shara.”
Along with Speleers and Stashwick, Star Trek: Picard Season 3 stars Patrick Stewart as Jean-Luc Picard, Jonathan Frakes as Will Riker, Marina Sirtis as Deanna Troi, Gates McFadden as Dr. Beverly Crusher, Michael Dorn as Worf, LeVar Burton as Geordi La Forge, Brent Spiner as Lore, Michelle Hurd as Raffi Musiker, Amanda Plummer as Vadic, and Jeri Ryan as Seven of Nine.
We’ve seen the first six episodes of Star Trek: Picard Season 3 — be on the lookout for our spoiler-free preview review on February 10!
Star Trek: Picard Season 3 will debut February 16 on Paramount+ the United States, and on CTV Sci Fi Channel and Crave in Canada. Outside of North America, the series is available on Amazon’s Prime Video service in most international locations.
