Hurd teased that if fans still wanted to see thePicardspinoff by then, the production would start working on it.
We have hands, fingers, everything’s crossed forStar Trek: Legacy. I know that right now they’re working onSection 31for Michelle Yeoh. And then they’re going to doStarfleet Academy. That’s going to be a series. And then if the fans still want it, they’ll start working onStar Trek: Legacy
Although Hurd did not give a concrete update about the future ofStar Trek: Legacy, her words gave fans hope that the anticipatedPicardspinoff would eventually be approved, as the actors were as thrilled as fans about it. Also, executive producer and showrunner forPicard, Terry Matalas, revealed that he already had an idea of what to do with the characters and storylines in the anticipated spinoff. He plans to use a “mix and match” style and return to the spirit ofStar Trek: The Next Generation, suggesting thatStar Trek: Legacywill have limited serialized arcs.TNGwould sometimes feature two-part episodes and focus on exploration and smaller problems.
Many characters and storylines haven’t been addressed inPicarddue to the lack of time and budget.Legacywill make a perfect avenue to develop those plots and make newStar Trekstories and adventures for Seven of Nine, Ensign Jack Crusher, and the Enterprise’s First Officer, Raffaela Musiker. Aside from the expected brand-new stories, fans are clamoring to see the return of some characters who didn’t make it into the finalPicardseason, including those who did, like Brent Spiner’s Data and Jonathan Frake’s Will Riker. So, hopefully, fans will win and get the anticipatedPicardspinoff,Star Trek: Legacy.
