We knew they’d be back, but they’re finally here! Just revealed at San Diego Comic-Con in today’s Star Trek Universe panel, Paramount+ has released a brand new set of posters for the third and final season of Picard, giving us our first proper look at the return of The Next Generation’s legendary team.
At Comic-Con today, Paramount unveiled the first teaser for Picard Season 3, unfortunately revealing no footage from the show’s final season, but a specially shot promo featuring Patrick Stewart, Jerry Ryan, and Michelle Hurd as Picard, Seven of Nine, and respectively Rafi… oh and a few friends.

Yes, of course, we got our first look at returning Picard guest stars Jonathan Frakes and Marina Sirtis as Will Riker and Deanna Troy, but also our first look at new-old friends: Michael Dorn, LeVar Burton and Gates McFadden as Worf, Geordi LaForge and Beverly Crusher. Although not spotted in the teaser, Picard’s valiant Brent Spiner will also return in some capacity, which is intriguing given Data’s eventual passing during the events of the show’s first season. At the panel, Trek producer Alex Kurtzman teased that Spiner’s role will be like an “old-new character.”
The new trailer also features dialogue from each character, culminating in a bittersweet message from Picard himself: “As long as you and your crew remain steadfast… you are never without hope.”
We’ll have to wait a while until we learn exactly what could be so terrible to reunite Picard with his old team — his more recent one, it seems, scattered to the wind for the most part after the Season 2 finale — as Star Trek: Picard will return to Paramount+ for its third and final season in 2023. For now, you can check out some brand new character posters for each character by clicking through the next few slides.
