“It was not going to be this.”
Terry Matalas doesn’t mince words about the difficulty of getting the “Next Generation” band back together for Season 3 of “Star Trek: Picard.” In fact, when he came onboard as showrunner prior to the second season, there was no plan for a reunion of the beloved Enterprise-D crew (nor an appearance from the ship itself).
“Because that was not the show they had set out to make,” he added in a new interview with IndieWire, alongside production designer Dave Blass. “‘Picard’ was the deconstruction of Jean-Luc Picard, and it had a new cast, and there’s nothing wrong with that.”
Matalas knew, though, that bringing back the full “Next Generation” cast for one final adventure — after their voyages came to a thud of an end with 2002’s “Star Trek: Nemesis” — would be electric if it happened.
He made it so.

When it came to the world building of “Star Trek: Picard” on CBS All Access, production designer Todd Cherniawsky embraced a completely different set of challenges and opportunities from those on “Star Trek: Discovery.” In particular, he needed to reflect some of the inner turmoil of Patrick Stewart’s Jean-Luc Picard as he emerges 20 years later from Starfleet retirement and exile in his French chateau in Labarre. The death of his best friend, android Data (Brent Spiner), the destruction of the planet Romulus, and the mysterious disappearance of Data’s daughter, Soji (Isa Briones), all prey on his mind as he searches for redemption.
“The world building advantage to ‘Picard’ that I didn’t have with ‘Discovery’ was that it had an easier springboard that had been established on ‘The Next Generation,'” Cherniawsky said. “Transparent screens, holography were touched on, but 20 years later, the availability was so much better.
