Season 3 of Star Trek: Picard is set to be the final season for the Patrick Stewart-led show on Paramount+. While the series is coming to an end, Stewart still wants to stick around and play the role of Jean-Luc Picard.
Speaking at the New York Comic Con, Stewart told fans that he was open to making a new movie for the franchise. I understand there are Paramount+ people here and Paramount Pictures. We could still make a movie," Stewart remarked.
It is interesting to hear the actor mention a new movie as Star Trek: Picard ends this season. Season 3 sees the return of the Star Trek: The Next Generation cast and the series finale could be set up to continue the legacy of the crew with a feature film.
A movie featuring Stewart and the original TNG cast would be a nice send-off for the long-time Star Trek actor. Stewart has played the role of Captain Jean-Luc Picard since 1987.
Stewart's remarks may just be a playful joke towards the Paramount execs. Fans however can interpret the statement as a sign that Picard and the rest of the TNG crew would survive at the end of Season 3. Chances of a new Star Trek film The likelihood that we will see Patrick Stewart in a new movie is pretty slim.
