Star Trek: Picardfinal season I felt as welcome as I felt at my farewell, like Picard and his friends Torch ladder For a new generation of Starfleet heroes. It felt the same off screen, too, with showrunner Terry Matalas and his crew telling anyone who would listen that they really really really Wants A spin-off happened – and now the series is over, those calls seem to have gotten louder.
We’ve heard a lot about Amal Matalas Star Trek: Legacycontinuing the plot threads left open by Picard that would follow the crew of the newly rechristened project-G–Captain Seven of Nine, First Officer Ravi Musiker, Special Counsel Ensign Jack Crusher, and the rest of the remaining crew from the former USS Titan. And we mean a lot a lotas everyone from the stars of the series to the Matalas have spent what seemed like months telling the press just how and why they wanted to create legacy It is happening.
Although in recent interviews Matalas has called himself back, reminding people that Paramount currently has no plans to add another. a trip Showing up to their current roster, now it’s actually franchise supervisor Alex Kurtzman who’s started teasing an opportunity, saying Fox Los AngelesAnd “Anything is possible. We’ve heard the crowd loud and clear. There’s clearly more story to tell. So, we’ll see.”
(Kurtzmann) and I talk all the time. “If something is going to be done, we want to make sure we don’t rush it,” Matalas said recently. diverse. “We want to make sure we’re doing it right. That’s where we’re at,” I say coyly. “Right now, nothing is developed on it. But we talk all the time.”
Again, while none of this is particularly definitive, as we said before, what He is Unprecedented is the sheer volume of debate about the possibility legacy, not only in whether or not it will happen, but in its stories, who will be in it, who can return, where it will start, etc. there a lot From talking about a program named to a fan campaign that may not happen at all.
(legacy would be) about seven out of nine. It’s about Jack Crusher. It’s about the La Forge sisters. It is about what else is happening in the galaxy with Nine depths of space characters and the rest Voyager Characters…” Matalas added at the same Fox Los Angeles report. Honestly, some of those (TNG characters), I’m not ready to say goodbye. I think in many ways, Jonathan Frakes, Levar Burton, Michael Dorn, Gates McFadden, they’ve never been better. They are at the top of their game and I want to see more.”
But one thing is as clear as wanting to make this show happen – even if it did, it would be while on. Star Trek It is an expensive franchise to make and with Strange new worlds get at least two more seasons, Discovery preparing to last broadcast Early next year, and more continued lower floors And miracle In the future, there is not much room to maneuver legacy Just so far. And this Even before you enter Brand new show Starfleet Academyhence this era of revitalization Star Trek Back to the movie theater, with plans for the previous series Section 31Led by Michelle Yeoh, it is now underway turned into a movie for Paramount +.
Although all good things must come to an end, sometimes it is a matter of how good things come to those who wait.
