Picard showrunner Terry Matalas celebrated the news in a joyous statement (via Deadline). "I remember watching the premiere of Star Trek: The Next Generation almost 34 years ago with my father like it was yesterday. It was the spark that ignited my love for science-fiction. So, it's most fitting that the story of Jean-Luc Picard ends honouring the beginning, with his dearest and most loyal friends from the USS Enterprise. It would be an understatement to say that giving these characters a proper send-off is an honour," he said. But don’t expect Spiner to just play Data. According to the actor (via TrekMovie), "Lore is in it in a very complicated way which I think you’ll find out ultimately when you watch the show. What else can I tell you? Really nothing because we were informed long ago - we signed these NDAs." You can get this on either DVD or Blu-ray. This is certainly a series that needs the best graphics possible, so a Blu-ray release is good news. Star Trek: Picard definitely did not disappoint. However, we knew that there was a chance we’d only get a few seasons of the series. This is one of those that it’s all about quality over quantity, and that’s just what was delivered.

Personally I think if you are sure you are going to hold onto a piece of physical media for years and years then the impact of buying it is nothing on the way most of us consume single use plastics to this day. A huge percentage of those don’t get recycled even if that’s our intention. In the US so much of our recyclables are shipped to third world countries where they wind up in landfills or are burned. And then you have what are called “wastrepeneurs” who are paid low wages to sift through rising mountains of waste to find valuable materials. Not an easy job, but it’s a steady livelihood. So getting rid of the landfills also affects others. You tug at one string and it has all sorts of consequences. I’ve never thought it was terribly effective to always try to enact positive change by shaming people for everything they do and making them feel miserable. There’s real value however in remaining aware and taking at least a moment every once in awhile to consider what we can do to do less harm. These include: LeVar Burton (Lt Commander Geordi La Forge), Michael Dorn (Worf), Gates McFadden (Dr Beverly Crusher), Jonathan Frakes (Commander William T Riker), Marina Sirtis (Counselor Deanna Troi) and Brent Spiner (Data). The third and final season of the Picard spin-off series is coming to DVD very soon. Here’s all you need for the Star Trek: Picard Season 3 DVD release.

Pretty smart thinking right? And now it's just a matter of waiting for the series to be put together and given some A-Star effects treatment to get it perfect for fans. Star Trek: Picard fans can rest easy in the knowledge that the third and final season will be with them on February 12, 2023. The news came accompanied by a brand spanking new teaser trailer (more on that below). There's also a question mark around Santiago Cabrera's involvement now that Cristobal "Chris" Rios has decided to stay in the past and live out his life there instead. When I read for the first time the ending of season two, I do remember one of the things that I said was, 'Where the hell are we going to go from here?' Because it almost seemed that there was a conclusion," he said. The third and final season wrapped things up earlier this year. We got some surprise characters, including a new love child. Now we’re ready to see the Star Trek story continue with the new-found family, even if Picard is only mentioned here and there. The series finale certainly left things open for a continuation.
