StarTrekPicard's Season 3 showrunner promised that the show' final season will include a passing of the baton to the new generation of StarTrek captains.
While the Star Trek: The Next Generation cast have hinted that they don't want Star Trek: Picard Season 3 to be their last adventure, showrunner Terry Matalas did say that the season will include the passing of the baton moment that has marked other transitional moments in the franchise. Matalas and the Next Gen crew were guests at New York Comic Con, appearing during the Star Trek: Picard portion of the Star Trek Universe panel.
These passing the torch moments have happened since the Star Trek: The Next Generation premiere, when DeForest Kelley reprised his role as Dr. Leonard"Bones" McCoy from Star Trek: The Original Series to tour the USS Enterprise-D during"Encounter at Farpoint," with Data as his guide. Then, when Star Trek: Deep Space Nine premiered, Patrick Stewart appeared as Capt. Jean-Luc Picard in the show's first episode,"Emissary.
Then, when Star Trek: Voyager launched, its premiere included members of the crew hanging out a Quark's Bar on Deep Space Nine, with Armin Shimmerman as Quark making an appearance. Perhaps the ultimate handoff was Leonard Nimoy reprising his role as Spock and taking the character into the Kelvin Timeline in 2009's Star Trek movie.
Star Trek: Picard sees Patrick Stewart reprising his role as Jean-Luc Picard, the character he played for seven seasons on Star Trek: The Next Generation. In the series' third and final season, he's joined by the rest of Star Trek: The Next Generation's core cast -- LeVar Burton, Michael Dorn, Jonathan Frakes, Gates McFadden, Marina Sirtis, and Brent Spiner -- along with Jeri Ryan and Michelle Hurd.
