'It's been an intense experience': Patrick Stewart talks Season Two of 'Star Trek: Picard,' reuniting with Q — and a possible Professor X cameo in the upcoming Doctor Strange movie.
— reluctantly leaves retirement life in his French vineyard, days after learning he has a potentially lethal neurological condition, to save a young android very much like his formerAnd it’s evident in the second season of the show, which debuts March 3 on Paramount Plus, where Picard and his new ragtag crew travel back to Earth in 2024 to prevent the timeline from going hopelessly askew. “This was all challenging and exciting new stuff for Picard,” says Stewart.
That changed when he met with Goldsman, Alex Kurtzman, and Michael Chabon, all of whom sold him on an idea for a show that was nothing like. Picard would no longer be a part of Starfleet; he’d initially be living on Earth; and most of his old Enterprise buddies wouldn’t be a part of the action. “Because 20 years had passed, they wanted to approach Picard, and others in the series we may have met before, after they had been affected by those 20 years,” says Stewart.
And although some fans and critics founds the plot of the first season a bit convoluted and confusing, theteam quickly received a renewal for seasons two and three. Once they decided to make the second season about Picard’s heart, they knew it would make sense to bring back Q and Whoopi Goldberg’s character, Guinan.
