Those watching the AFC Championship Game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Cincinnati Bengals were treated to the final trailer for the third season of Star Trek: Picard, most likely its last. This time around, Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) has assembled his old crew from Star Trek: The Next Generation to take on a new adversary out to destroy not just Picard but Starfleet as a whole.
(Some spoilers for the prior two seasons below.)
As we've reported previously, Picard is set 20 years after the events of Star Trek: Nemesis. The first season's notable guests included Jonathan Frakes and Marina Sirtis, reprising their roles as William Riker and Deanna Troi and sparking rumors about the possible return of other Star Trek: The Next Generation characters. Patrick Stewart personally invited Whoopi Goldberg to return as Guinan in S2, with John DeLancie also returning as Q, keen to stage one last trial with his old friend Jean-Luc. We even saw the Borg Queen (played by Annie Wersching, who just died after battling cancer) and were treated to the briefest of cameos by Wesley Crusher (Wil Wheaton).
