SEPTEMBER 15, 2021 - Following up on the Star Trek: Picard panel during the Star Trek Day celebrations last week, co-showrunner Akiva Goldsman had a few more things to say about the upcoming season two and beyond.

TrekMovie.com caught up with Goldsman, who was able to address some questions about Q, the Borg Queen, and even a bit about season three. Regarding the latter, Goldsman said that season three will begin production the day after season two wraps. He also noted that while a three-season run has been the basis of the storytelling thus far, he personally thinks that “as many seasons as Patrick Stewart wants to do, that’s as many seasons of Picard there should be.”

For Q, Goldsman said that accounting for the passage of time between Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Picard is important and is more complicated for a character like Q, who operates by different rules when it comes to time and space. “It would be hard to imagine many [of Picard’s relationships], if any,” Goldsman said, “that are more significant than Q.” 

Goldsman also touched on the presence of the Borg Queen and said that Picard will be wrestling with his own history, but that “the Borg Queen’s utility here is probably not what you expect it to be.”
