Star Trek: Picard Season 3 Showrunner Terry Matalas on Creating a Satisfying Conclusion

- Before Star Trek: Picard Season 3 premieres on Paramount+ on February 16, Collider’s Steve Weintraub spoke with the showrunner, Terry Matalas, about his vision for the final season of this chapter of Star Trek. During his interview, Matalas discusses avoiding “over-saturating” the universe and fanservice vs just existing within said universe. He teases familiar characters and locations for fans, promises more to come, as well as a satisfying conclusion to Star Trek: The Next Generation. He also reveals how he included a reference to the Transformers movie from 1986 in the season...
Though the first two seasons of Picard disappointed some fans, Patrick Stewart returns as the titular Jean-Luc Picard in what’s being called a “love letter” to Star Trek. Season 3 sees the return of Next Generation’s Gates McFadden as Dr. Beverly Crusher, Jonathan Frakes as Will Riker, Marina Sirtis as Deanna Troi, Michael Dorn as Worf, LeVar Burton as Geordi La Forge, and Brent Spiner as Lore. Michelle Hurd is also back as Raffi Musiker, as well as Star Trek: Voyager’s Jeri Ryan as Seven of Nine.
Picard Season 3 isn’t just about bringing back familiar faces, the show is also introducing fans to new talent, including Ashlei Sharpe Chestnut and Mica Burton as Sidney and Alandra La Forge and Amanda Plummer as the villainous Vadic. Others joining the fray are Todd Stashwick (12 Monkeys) as Captain Shaw of the USS Titan, and new series regular and associate of Beverly Crusher, Ed Speleers (Outlander).

Give this man control over new Star Trek shows going forward. A breath of fresh air who respects the franchise and wants to see it do well. Thank you Terry! First real Trek in years. Fire that hack Kurtzman.
Matalas worked a miracle, it was a good thbing that he was given the room, he used it so well.
After Vox I can only say: Thank you Terry!!!
Paramount need to fire hack Kurtzman and hand Terry Matalas a contract as new franchise showrunner.
Came here to say this
It still wouldn’t be Star Trek. Secret Hideout are opposed to making what Star Trek was. But after 14 seasons of content they should at least be good at making NuTrek. If the reports are accurate Terry has shown the way. But this is Secret Hideout, and I expect their next project will hard swerve in a new direction under a new showrunner.
2024 is the next election? NuTrek will probably tell a story about ‘ICE is bad’ ‘Tear down walls’ and cast an active political figure as an important political figure in Trek who carries the hopes and dreams of everyone…
Matalas’s PS3 looks like an accident of good show running when you consider he moved on from Secret Hideout. And while he could come back… it won’t be for the next show, where they might well recall Kurtzman into the showrunner chair.
The problem is Secret Hideout have no fan confidence left. And even if PS3 is the pearl necklace from an abusive spouse that symbolises the promise never to hit the fans again, the fact is the fans still flinch when Secret Hideout talk of another project in the works
… Creidt where it’s due. PS3 has been the biggest marketing push designed to change peoples views. This NuTrek series impressed RMB and DCullin, and on them Secret Hideout have managed to turn some of NutTreks opinion around. But when you consider that Star Treks heart and soul reside in the Orville, what we have is still just a lifeless soulless corpse that’s been presented well, with a better puppeteer pulling its strings, while Secret Hideouts marketing pull the fans.
Hand the keys to the star trek kingdom to Terry.
1000%
Strongly agree!
I hope Paramount is paying attention.
Absolutely genius! Amazing season of Picard season 3
Keep it up Mr Matalas, doing a fine job
Terry Matalas = My new lifetime hero
1:58.. the whole picture was awesome 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Worf says “i’ve got better things to do tonight than die.”
This guy saved Star Trek.
This guy has so many shattered tainted pieces to pick up. But so far so good.
It was brilliant. Absolutely loved this episode. The music during the ship launch was absolutely incredible and harkened back to TOS. It felt truly magical again. Will and Picard were so onpoiint and good to see together again. It was really great. Great job!
A new Star Trek show made by someone who is a fan of Star Trek. What a concept lol.
After careful research I figured out who was responsible for Genius Season 3 :D
Terry so far so good. Nice to see someone knows what they are doing.
WTF about the HellBird BULLSHIT that never happened is totally NOT knowing what his doing
@@TimBorg you realize that things happen in universe that aren’t depicted on screen all the time…soo if thats your reasoning for disliking this season you are trying to find a reason to hate
Look what happens when you give a franchise to a fan. Total gold pressed Latinum!
Terry Matalas is a lucky fan who got the dream job. I'm certain there's a million Trek fans out there who would have done just as good a job as he did. I don't think it's a case that "he did really well and deserves all this praise" but rather the focus should be on the people before him doing such a bad job and allowing the first two seasons to happen. What were they doing working on this franchise in the first place when they know very little about it? I just think that unless you love this show and know it well, you shouldn't be part of the creative process. Actors I can forgive.
Pretty sure that was always the deal when Patrick Stewart first sat down and agreed to do just 3 seasons of it in the first place, something like "do whatever you want for first two years, just make sure we get our damn reunion arc by the end!" Terry Matalas writing being the desperately needed icing on the cake we were extra lucky to have, might have again in few years
This guy knows his shit. Just let him run the discovery
I love this guy
WTF about the HellBird BULLSHIT that never happened is totally NOT knowing what his doing
i HATE HIM
@Collider Interviews can you PLEASE confirm that from what you imply here we see several other old characters besides Moriarty and Lore in those first 6 episodes...including maybe characters from DS9 and Voyager perhaps?
Sounds like Kurtzman gave up & threw it to Terry(a actual ST fan)
That Alex Kurtzman or Akiva Goldsman OR BOTH didn't know who Moriarty was says so much about the current creative people in charge of Star Trek. Be the light in the dark, Terry! We're all rooting for you. Thank You!
He was a pretty irrelevant character whos spending his (must be awful?) time floating in a fantasy land far as I know….
@@justindot4887 I don't consider Moriarty any less relevant to the success of Trek as thoughtful and entertain than I do Gul Madred, or Admiral Satie.
Plus, he escaped once, he can escape again.
@@justindot4887 Irrelevant or not, you would know who he is if you watched TNG. So it just confirms that almost no one in charge of Picard other than Matalas has done that.
I want to see captain Shaw continue 🙁
Matalas Prime FTW…
I love Picard and 12 monkeys
Jack is a half borg. I'm calling it
I think he can access a Borg collective of sorts.
Lol, worse!
Ask why is the bridge set sooooo dark ….
Well there's nowhere to go but up I guess lol
He seems like a big fan of the franchise, but 3 episodes in and i dont really feel the DNA of star trek to be present... its dark, pessimistic. I am still waiting for the science and the exploration.
I am a old Tek fan and after Enterprise i have nor taken to anything made ib the Trek franchise, they no longer make trek fir me, and that is fine, i have from Tos right up to Ent, and trek after that is for a different generation, no pun intended.
@@kamimike7279 I am not English, i am German, but you are a very rude person, please go away.
I got a question to everyone:
Is everyone enjoying Paramount's Star Porn Picard?
This season was stupid and horrible just like that last 2 seasons
