Amanda Plummer Takes on Patrick Stewart in Final ‘Star Trek: Picard’ Teaser Trailer

The final season of Paramount+’s Star Trek: Picard is a family affair, as just revealed at New York Comic Con. Not only will the third season reunite most of the original cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation for one last adventure, but also Amanda Plummer, daughter of the late Christopher Plummer — who was the villain in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country — will go head to head with Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) as new villain Vadic.

Though not much is revealed about Vadic’s beef with Picard, we do discover in the teaser trailer that the cackling villain has something to do with the missing Beverly Crusher (Gates McFadden). We also know thanks to a release provided to Decider that she’s an alien, and the captain of the Shrike, “a warship that has set its sights on Jean-Luc Picard and his old crewmates from his days on the Enterprise.”

…and that wasn’t the only reveal at the packed panel. In addition to Plummer, joining the cast are LeVar Burton’s real life daughter Mica Burton as his character Geordi La Forge’s daughter, Alandra La Forge. And Ashlei Sharpe Chestnut, who is not LeVar Burton’s real life daughter, will play Geordi’s other daughter, Sidney La Forge. Sidney is the helmsman of the U.S.S. Titan, while Alandra works side by side with Geordi.

But wait, there’s more! As seen in the trailer, two classic Star Trek villains are returning. The first is Daniel Davis as Professor Moriarty — yes, the one from Sherlock Holmes stories — who seems to have once again escaped from the holodeck to terrorize the crew. And not only that, but Brent Spiner is playing his fourth character in three seasons of Picard with the return of his villainous android, Lore.

Along with Stewart, Spiner, McFadden and Burton, Star Trek: Picard Season 3 also stars Michael Dorn, Jonathan Frakes, Marina Sirtis, Brent Spiner, Jeri Ryan and Michelle Hurd, all reprising their roles from either Next Generation or early seasons of Picard or other shows. I dunknow, there’s a lot of Star Trek.

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 of Season 3. Terry Matalas also serves as showrunner.

Star Trek: Picard Season 3 will premiere February 16, 2023, with each episode of the 10-episode long season available to stream weekly.
