STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION crew to reunite on the final season of PICARD

The main cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation is to reunite for the third and final season of Star Trek: Picard.

LeVar Burton (Geordi La Forge), Michael Dorn (Worf) and Gates McFadden (Beverly Crusher) will return to the franchise for the first time since 2002's feature film, Star Trek: Nemesis. Jonathan Frakes (William Riker), Marina Sirtis (Deanna Troi) and Brent Spiner (Data) previously appeared in the first season of Star Trek: Picard, with Frakes and Sirtis also reprising voicing their roles on Star Trek: Lower Decks.

It is unclear if Spiner will be playing the destroyed Data, his evil twin brother Lore, android B-4 or the human character Altan Soong, whom he played in Picard's first season.

Recurring Next Generation actors Whoopi Goldberg (Guinan) and John De Lancie (Q) are appearing in the currently-airing second season of Picard.

So far it has not been confirmed if other former Next Generation regulars like Denise Crosby (Tasha Yar/Sela) or Wil Wheaton (Wesley Crusher) will return.

Filming recently wrapped on the third season of Picard, which is expected to air in 2023.

Wil Wheaton has commented on his blog that he is sad he was not invited to participate: https://wilwheaton.net/2022/04/writing-fan-fiction-is-never-not-fun/
