After the third and final season of Star Trek: Picard, which brought back the cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation, fans have been wondered if there would be any follow-up. There has been a lot of buzz about a possible “Star Trek: Legacy” spinoff series focused on the USS Enterprise-G under the command of Captain Seven (Jeri Ryan), but Patrick Stewart is also thinking about what could come next for himself and the TNG crew.
Stewart wants a “goodbye” movie
In a joint interview with LeVar Burton, Patrick Stewart talked to IndieWire about season 3, including the moment he visited the remade bridge of the Enterprise-D for the first time as it was being completed:
I went down there and I walked around the bridge alone and simply allowed all the memories to flood back. And yes, there had been some time-to-time difficulties, of course there have. But mostly the bridge signified to me creativity, work, and companionship. And also, dependency. As Jean-Luc Picard I needed every single one of my fellow actors up there. And I think it was the same for all of us. There was a combination of dependency and freedom.
Burton chimed in on his reaction:
And the bridge of the Enterprise reminded me of how much fun – because that was the one set where we would all be in a scene together, right? The rest of the episode we were all out doing our separate things. But on the bridge days, they were raucous. We were reveling in each other and reveling in the work. And it was glorious. It really was.

Bringing back the Enterprise-D and its iconic crew was all part of showrunner Terry Matalas’ vision of turning the third and final season of Picard into “proper sendoff” for the TNG cast. But it looks like Stewart isn’t ready to say goodbye, yet. After noting and laughing off how he was “advised not to talk about” a Picard follow-up, Stewart said:
I think we could do a movie, a Picard-based movie. Now not necessarily at all about [Jean-Luc] Picard but about all of us. And to take many of those wonderful elements, particularly from Season 3 of Picard and take out of that what I think could be an extraordinary movie. I keep telling people and mentioning it, and so far there’s been no eager response, but it might well happen. And that would be I think a very appropriate way to say, ‘And goodbye folks.’
Burton indicated he agreed, but was satisfied with the ending provided by season 3 of Picard:
And I think for the most part, I think all of us feel this the same way, basically. I this is indeed it, I don’t believe we could possibly have gone out in a better moment for the crew, and for us as a family.
It has been 21 years since the final Next Generation feature film, with the box office disappointment of Star Trek: Nemesis ending a run of 4 TNG movies. Since then Paramount pivoted to the Kelvin universe tentpole movies but has struggled to get a 4th movie past the development stage since 2016’s Star Trek Beyond. The enthusiasm for Star Trek: Picard season 3 has, at least, put the TNG crew back into the conversation. If not a theatrical feature film, Paramount+ could do a made-for-streaming movie. The upcoming Section 31 movie starring Michelle Yeoh is reportedly the first of what they’re hoping to be a series of Star Trek streaming movies.
Paramount did keep the rebuilt Enterprise-D bridge set, just in case.
