Star Trek: Picard was set to premiere season two in February, but a new update has revealed a new March 3 release date.
Paramount+ series Star Trek: Picard was expected to premiere on the streaming platform in February, but in an updated release schedule, the second season of the Patrick Stewart-starring series won’t be released until March 3. After the premiere, new episodes of the popular series are added every Thursday. Star Trek: Picard recently had to stop production on the third season after a large number of positive Covid tests among the cast and crew, and while this could have an impact on that season’s release, it’s unknown what led to the season 2 delay. arrival.
Patrick Stewart reprises his role as Jean-Luc Picard, the character he played throughout his time Star Trek: The Next Generation. The new series focuses on Picard in his later years, but being older doesn’t mean he lives a quiet life, and the new season suggests a time-traveling plot and the return of John de Lancie as Picard’s former nemesis Q, will ensure that this season will raise the ante on the former.
Actor and director Jonathan Frakes, who starred in two episodes of Picard’s premiere season and also directed two others, recently teased a reunion of Next generation characters when William Riker, played by Frakes, has a scene with Lancie’s Q and colleagues Next generation star Brent Spiner. He told CinemaBlend:
“I have a scene with him and Soong, who is Brent [Spiner] plays on Picard,” Frakes tells CinemaBlend. “And it’s one of my favorite scenes of the season. De Lancie has always been one of my favorite friends, but also one of my favorite actors. He is beautifully cast as Q, and Q is arguably one of the most complicated villains with the Borg Queen. It is always a pleasure to work with John on and off the set. The day I know will be fascinating because he is a fascinating man in terms of his worldview and his experience as a sailor. It’s always a good day in terms of the intermediate shots.”
Star Trek: Picard Season 2 will bring an alternate reality to the spin-off and only time travel can set things straight.
The trailer for Star Trek: Picard’s return debuted in September as part of Paramount+’s Star Trek Day event, and Patrick Stewart himself introduced the first look at the new episodes, in which the cast of characters are pulled into an alternate reality and must return to the 21st century to set things right. While fans have been waiting for the series to arrive since that trailer came out, they now have to wait just a little longer than previously anticipated.

The series is written by co-showrunners Akiva Goldsman and Terry Matalas, who also serve as executive producers along with Stewart, Alex Kurtzman, Trevor Roth and others. The series will be released on Paramount+ in the US and streamed on Amazon Prime Video in more than 200 international countries.
