The thrilling adventures of Jean-Luc Picard and his crew aboard La Sirena have taken the viewers with intrigue for three seasons. But will there be a Star Trek: Picard Season 4? As of today, there’s no official confirmation from Paramount+.
Given how the first three seasons have worked out, it makes sense that the fans are quite curious to unfold what the next season has in store. What kind of adventures will unfold if it is renewed?
We have managed to bring along all the answers surrounding Picard Season 4 and the details you need to know.

When is Picard Season 4 Releasing?
There seems to be a looming uncertainty surrounding the show’s return at this point. However, does that indicate an official cancellation? Absolutely not.
Showrunner Alex Kurtzman and actor Patrick Stewart originally envisioned a three-season run for Star Trek: Picard. The emotional and thematic closure of Season 3, echoing the final episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, further suggests the narrative arc may have reached its natural endpoint.
That said, we can’t brush aside the fact that the positive and overwhelming response that the show garnered with the first three seasons is mind-blowing. Given that the show is currently at its peak of popularity is enough of an answer to depict its potential return sometime in the future.
Until we receive details about an official cancellation, we can rest easy praying and hoping that it will return sometime in the future.
What can we expect from Picard Season 4?
While details are scarce, hints scattered throughout interviews suggest a potential future for the characters we’ve grown to love. The season 3 finale mirrored the ending of Star Trek: The Next Generation, with Picard and his crew enjoying a friendly poker game.
This could signify a return to episodic storytelling, focusing on new adventures and challenges faced by the reunited crew. Alternatively, the concept of “Star Trek: Legacy” has been floated, following a new generation of Starfleet officers aboard the Enterprise in the 25th century. This could potentially feature cameos from the Next Generation cast, passing the torch to a fresh crew while maintaining continuity with the established universe.
All that said, all of this seems to be speculation at the minute. There’s no way for us to confirm how things would pan out unless we get further details about the show’s renewal and release date down the line. It would also be quite interesting to see how things pan out if the creators decide to renew the show instead of benching it like they initially envisioned.
Who is returning to Picard Season 4?
If Picard is renewed for a fourth season, it isn’t even a surprise that the primary cast will return. We could witness the addition of new characters too, which would be interesting as well.
Some of the expected cast would include:
- Patrick Stewart as Jean-Luc Picard
- Whoopi Goldberg as Guinan
- Michelle Hurd as Raffi Musiker
- Santiago Cabrera as Cristóbal Rios
- Evan Evagora as Elnor
