… Because His Next Generation Besties Are Back

Why the slate-wiping? Because Picard decided to go all out for its final season with a full on TNG reunion. LeVar Burton, Michael Dorn, Jonathan Frakes, Gates McFadden, Marina Sirtis, and Brent Spiner will all return to play their previous Star Trek roles this season. They’re not cameos or one-off appearances; the return of these iconic stars is a fundamental part of Picard season three’s story.
It’s not just old faces though, there are some new characters in season three—like Todd Stashwick, playing a Starfleet Captain named Liam Shaw, and Ed Speleers, playing a mysterious new character.
