Why You Can Trust CNET 'Star Trek: Picard' Season 3 Trailer Finally Beams Up Worf, Geordi and Dr. Crusher
Star Trek Day confirms the Picard season 3 release date plus Carol Kane joining Strange New Worlds.
The Next Generation is back. The third and final season of Star Trek: Picard will premiere Feb. 16, 2023, and this time Geordi, Worf and Dr. Beverley Crusher are reunited with their colleagues Riker, Troi and Data. Meanwhile Strange New Worlds season 2 has a new crewmember: none other than Carol Kane.
A new trailer for Picard season 3 reveals Patrick Stewart joined by TNG castmates Jonathan Frakes, LeVar Burton, Michael Dorn, Gates McFadden, Marina Sirtis and Brent Spiner, along with Jeri Ryan and Michelle Hurd. "Jean-Luc, wherever you go, we go," Riker tells Picard as the white-haired crew prepare to take on an unseen enemy.
The announcement came as part of Star Trek Day, a marketing stunt to promote the warp speed sci-fi shows on streaming service Paramount Plus. You can follow the Trek news by putting on screen the livestream at StarTrek.com/Day, on YouTube (Paramount Plus and Star Trek Official pages), Facebook (@StarTrek), Twitter (@StarTrekonPPlus) and TikTok (@ParamountPlus).
Star Trek Day also revealed more details of Star Trek: Discovery season 5, as well as new toys, Nerf phasers, release dates and casting news for the various other shows currently on deck. Alongside Picard and Discovery, the current lineup includes animated series Star Trek: Lower Decks, kids' cartoon Star Trek: Prodigy and Enterprise-set action romp Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.
A first look photo from Discovery's fifth season sees the show's hero, Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green), flying some kind of speeder bike thing through a dust storm in the new series.
Strange New Worlds season 2 will bring aboard Emmy-winning (and Oscar-nominated) Carol Kane as Pelia, a smart engineer who doesn't suffer fools gladly.

Star Trek: Prodigy will return for more episodes Thursday Oct. 27, featuring Billy Campbell reprising his role as roguish TNG character Thadiun Okona.
And for fans of classic movie Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan, the film's director Nicholas Meyer took to the stage to announce a new podcast entitled Ceti Alpha V, filling in the story of Khan Noonien-Singh's exile between Original Series episode Space Seed and the movie.
Coincidentally, it's also Disney Day, promoting rival streamer Disney Plus.
