Though Picard’s third and final season was touted explicitly because the final hurrah of not simply Patrick Stewart’s iconic tenure as Captain Jean-Luc Picard, however the entire of the Subsequent Era solid, ever because it ended—hell, even earlier than that—Stewart and his colleagues have repeatedly expressed a need for a little more. And now, the venerable actor is switching up mediums.
After beforehand backing the concept of catching up with Jean-Luc often as a part of no matter may grow to be Star Trek: Legacy, the Picard continuation/spinoff that showrunner Terry Matalas and crew have been screaming from the rooftops about all through Picard’s third season hitting Paramount+, just lately Stewart has pivoted to an alternate pitch: what if we received another TNG film, as a deal with?
“I feel we may do a film, a Picard-based film. Not essentially in any respect about Picard, however about all of [the TNG crew]. And to take lots of these great parts, significantly from season three of Picard and take out of that what I feel might be a unprecedented film,” Stewart just lately advised IndieWire for Picard’s Emmy’s FYC campaign. However this time, Stewart burdened a caveat that’s probably not been stated all that a lot in these current spinoff murmurings: if he will get what he needs, it might seemingly effectively and really be it.
“I preserve telling folks and mentioning it, and up to now there’s been no keen response, but it surely would possibly effectively occur,” Stewart continued. “And that might be I feel a really acceptable method to say, ‘And goodbye people.’”
In fact, Picard itself proved that nothing is all the time assured to be the final goodbye—even when neither Legacy, nor this film, nor another form of TNG return truly occurs, Stewart and his solid members have made it clear they’re down for extra if it does. However as Paramount re-consolidates its Star Trek slate, solely time will inform if Stewart will get his want any time quickly. My ideas exit to whichever poor particular person would be the one who then has to type out the re-release of that “All the Captain Picard” box set with no matter new involves move although.
