3 Star Trek: The Next Generation stars most likely to die in Picard who aren’t Jean-Luc Picard

Who could get killed off in Star Trek: Picard?

Star Trek: Picard is likely to see the end of several characters in the Star Trek universe, most notably the titular Jean-Luc Picard himself. The series is expected to be a wrap for Picard as a character, at least one played by Patrick Stewart. While rumors of a potential spinoff exist and even talks of a film, that seems unlikely.

Showrunner Terry Matalas has talked about doing more with the series if fans like Picard’s last season, saying that with science fiction, no one is truly dead forever. In an interview with SFX Magazine, Matalas basically said anyone can come back if they get killed off;

"I think there are ways of seeing these characters again, in a kind of Next, Next Generation story. Not all these characters—I’m not gonna say they all necessarily make it out safely of season 3. But I will say that in science fiction, there are always ways of seeing people again."

So it appears they aren’t going to be too concerned with killing off fan favorites this season. If that’s the case, which three Next Generation characters are most likely to say goodbye? Aside from Jean-Luc Picard, of course.

Three of the Next Generation characters most likely to die in Star Trek: Picard

Worf

There’s a trope that many fans should worry about, where the former soldier/expert/whatever, is out of the game for a while, only to be brought back and ends up dying. It’s the whole “he was about to retire next week” gimmick people have named into high heaven. Worf is a pacificist in the third season of Picard, and it bares some likelihood that he gets talked into abandoning his new ways and ends up dying as a result.

Deanna Troi

This is less to do with the character and more to do with the actress Marina Sirtis, who has moved back to the UK in recent years. While she loves Star Trek, it does sound like she’s not that interested in traveling across the pond these days to do work. That’s conjecture, sure, but it would stand to reason if you want to kill off someone, it should be someone who isn’t that open to traveling for work.

Reginald Barclay

We haven’t even seen Reginald Barlcay in the trailer, but it would be a shame if he wasn’t in the series, and an even bigger shame if he didn’t finally overcome his anxieties to try and save his friends.
