Geordi appears to be in an admiral’s Starfleet uniform, while Worf appears to be wearing a captain’s insignia. Dr. Crusher is out of uniform. This is the first time the Next Generation (TNG) crew has appeared together onscreen since 2002. Yes, Brent Spiner is set to return as “an old-new character.” Intriguing.
Season three will debut on Paramount+ in 2023. There are rumors it has already finished filming.
According to Trek series executive producer Alex Kurtzman, Picard will set out to find and reunite his old crew, who are now spread across the galaxy. “I think we took two seasons to earn the return of the [“TNG”] crew” Kurtzman said. He did not reveal who the main villain of the new season would be, other than teasing “I won’t say much except to say that she’s amazing.”
Stewart also teased that he will indeed set foot on the Enterprise-D at least once in Season 3.
The trailer ends with an inspirational line from Picard, in which he promotes unity, faith, and positive sentiments: “As long as you and your crew remain steadfast… you are never without hope.”
