Star Trek: Picard has now wrapped up its first season, and fans have been blown away by how it brought back Sir Patrick Stewart’s Starfleet legend and dropped him in a very contemporary, thrilling storyline. As great as having Jean-Luc’s journey continued is, Trek lovers have been left hungry to see other characters in the franchise get the same treatment. Another captain, for instance. Maybe Voyager‘s Kathryn Janeway?
If you’re one of those fans, then you’re in luck. CBS is reportedly discussing a potential Picard spinoff for Kate Mulgrew. We Got This Covered has heard from our sources – the same ones who said a Captain Pike spinoff is in the works, which has now been confirmed – that the network is interested in the idea, given how successful Stewart’s comeback has proven. It’s important to emphasize that the project’s only in the discussion phase, though. It’s by no means happening just yet.
For one thing, we’ve been told that CBS wants to test the waters for it by bringing Mulgrew back in a future season of Picard. As we’ve already shared, there are plans for Janeway to return for a small role or cameo on the show. It’s unclear whether this would be in season 2 or 3 – likely its last. Maybe if fan response is positive and the actress is up for it, then the concept may get a greenlight.
Whether Mulgrew would like to have her own show again, though, remains to be seen. Last May, Mulgrew expressed reluctance to “pull a Picard” and comeback full-time. “Seven years is a long time to play a character,” she told TrekMovie.com, referring to Voyager‘s original run. “I’m not sure that she would enjoy resuscitation.” That said, Stewart himself had sworn off a Trek return, too, until he was persuaded otherwise by CBS. So there’s no reason they couldn’t convince Mulgrew, as well. She’s definitely up for a one-off comeback opposite Picard (and preferably Kirk to boot).
Tell us, though, do you have any interest in having Star Trek: Picard followed up with, let’s call it, Star Trek: Janeway? Let us know in the comments section below.
