The newest behind-the-scenes Star Trek book is arriving this month, as the final look at the making of Star Trek: Picard beams down to highligh the artistry behind the three-season series.
 
Arriving February 27, Star Trek: Picard — The Art and Making of the Series by Joe Fordham is Titan Books’ latest in-depth book, this time focused on the creation of the Patrick Stewart-helmed show, from the early days of costume design to the resurrection of the Enterprise-D for Season 3.
 

Star Trek: Picard stars Patrick Stewart, reprising his role as Jean-Luc Picard from Star Trek: The Next Generation. The book explores each of the three separate season-long narratives, which tell the story of Picard in later years, as he is brought out of retirement on his family chateau to face old enemies such as the Borg, take command of a new starship, and ultimately reconcile with his past.

 

New characters such as Doctor Jurati (Alison Pill), Cristóbal Rios (Santiago Cabrera), Soji (Isa Briones) and Elnor (Evan Evagora) feature alongside appearances by old enemies and friends, such as Will Riker (Jonathan Frakes), Deanna Troi (Marina Sirtis), the Borg Queen (Annie Wersching), Guinan (Whoopi Goldberg), Data (Brent Spiner), and Q (John de Lancie). Season 3 sees a full-scale Next Generation reunion, featuring Worf (Michael Dorn), Dr. Beverley Crusher (Gates McFadden), and Geordi La Forge (LeVar Burton).

 

Alongside interviews with showrunners, writers, cast, and crew, discussing concepts and character arcs, “Spotlight” features explore makeup, costumes, art, and visual effects. A final section features reflections on the much-beloved character from its original incarnation in Star Trek: Next Generation through to its final satisfying conclusion.

 

This beautifully illustrated hardback, featuring behind-the-scenes and on-set photography, and a range of production art, is an in-depth exploration of a hugely popular and seminal Star Trek character.

Thanks to Titan Books, we can bring you five exclusive pages from The Art and Making of the Series, with imagery from the first and second season of Picard.

In addition to these four exclusive pages, several other preview pages from the book have been made available at retailer listings.
