Star Trek: The Next Generation crew to reunite ahead of Picard’s final season
By Chad Porto
Fans of Star Trek: The Next Generation are in for a year of reunions it seems.
Star Trek: Picard will see the reunion of the entire cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation. All the major players who were there for the majority of the series will be back on screen together. That includes Patrick Stewart, Jonathan Frakes, Gates McFadden, Brent Spiner, Michael Dorn, LeVar Burton, and Marina Sirtis.
Picard will see each person back on screen with one another for one last ride, bringing together the characters of Jean-Luc Picard, William Riker, Beverly Crusher, Worf, Geordi La Forge, Deanna Troi, and whoever the folks have Spiner playing.
The final season will debut on Paramount+ on Feb. 16, 2023 but fans don’t have to wait five months to see the cast of The Next Generation reunite, as they’ll be getting together one more time in an upcoming fan experience.

They won’t be alone, as series showrunner Terry Matalas and franchise head Alex Kurtzman will be there, with Rod Roddenberry (son of Gene Roddenberry) in tow.
Star Trek’s Discovery and Prodigy will also make appearances, with Kurtzman and Roddenberry joining Discovery star Sonequa Martin-Green and Discover showrunner Michelle Paradise. Discovery is actively filming its fifth season, hence the low turnout.
