After two thrilling seasons, Star Trek Picard is back for its third and final season. Here’s everything you need to know about it including its plot, release date, time to episode total and viewing options?
This is going to be huge for Star Trek fans. The small-screen reunion that they have been waiting for is finally happening as the third season of “Star Trek: Picard” will finally reunite the main cast from “Star Trek: The Next Generation” after 20+ years.
Even though this is the final outing, showrunner Terry Matalas sees this season as a future, telling SFX Magazine, “This season is very much a passing of the torch to the next generation. So it will really be up to the fans to decide if they want to see more. Star Trek has always been up to the fans.”
With a few hours left for the premiere, here’s everything you need to know about Star Trek Picard Season 3.
