Star Trek: Picard Showrunner/EP Matalas Intros USS Titan Bridge Crew

With less than two weeks to go until the third & final season of Paramount+’s Sir Patrick Stewart-starring Star Trek: Picard, series showrunner & executive producer Terry Matalas is offering viewers a better look at a crew that’s been on the social media minds of fans since the official trailer dropped. Yes, we’re talking about the USS Titan, which means introductions to Ensign Sidney LaForge (Ashlei Sharpe Chestnut) – Helm, Lt. Matthew Arliss Mura – Tactical (Bajoran), Lt. T’Veen – Science Officer (Vulcan), Ensign Kova Rin Esmar – Communications (Haliian), Captain Liam Shaw (Todd Stashwick)… and as First Officer, a familiar face who we’re sure “Star Trek” fan won’t have a problem recognizing. Along with the intros, Matalas also offers some background intel on each of the characters.

Here’s a look at Matalas’ tweet from earlier today introducing the bridge crew of the USS Titan:

With the franchise series set to begin wrapping up its run on February 16th, here’s a look at the new teaser that was released, focusing on the importance of “Hope,” followed by a look back at the official trailer for Paramount+’s Star Trek: Picard:

Looking Ahead to Star Trek: Picard Season 3

Thanks to The Ready Room host Wil Wheaton (Star Trek: The Next Generation, The Big Bang Theory), we have a preview clip from next month’s return episode. And it does an excellent job of setting up the season as Jen-Luc receives a mysterious encrypted transmission. But more than the message, the bigger mystery is why it’s coming through a 20-year-old-plus Enterprise-D communicator. So check out the clip below (beginning around the 28:45 mark), and then get caught up on the previously-released previews that hit over the past few months (with the series returning on February 16th):

Paramount+’s Star Trek: Picard features Stewart reprising his iconic role as Jean-Luc Picard, which he played for seven seasons on Star Trek: The Next Generation, and follows this iconic character into the next chapter of his life. LeVar Burton, Michael Dorn, Jonathan Frakes, Gates McFadden, Marina Sirtis, Brent Spiner (as Lore), Jeri Ryan, and Michelle Hurd star alongside Stewart in the third and final season of the hit streaming series. In addition, Amanda Plummer (The Fisher King, Pulp Fiction) has joined the cast in a recurring role as Vadic, the mysterious alien captain of the Shrike, a warship that has set its sights on Picard and his old crewmates from his days on the Enterprise. In addition, Mica Burton (Critical Role, Vampire: The Masquerade: L.A. by Night) plays Ensign Alandra La Forge, Geordi La Forge’s (Burton) youngest daughter, who works alongside her father. Ashlei Sharpe Chestnut (Cruel Summer) is on board as Ensign Sidney La Forge, the eldest daughter of Geordi La Forge and helmsman of the U.S.S. Titan. Daniel Davis is set to reprise his ST: TNG role as Professor Moriarty.

The series is produced by CBS Studios in association with Secret Hideout and Roddenberry Entertainment. For the third season, Alex Kurtzman, Akiva Goldsman, Terry Matalas, Patrick Stewart, Heather Kadin, Aaron Baiers, Rod Roddenberry, Trevor Roth, Doug Aarniokoski, and Dylan Massin serve as executive producers. Terry Matalas serves as the showrunner for season three, which premieres on Thursday, February 16, 2023, on Paramount+.
