Star Trek: Picard Season 2 Story
What will happen in the second season? Patrick Stewart has offered some insight on what will happen to his character now that he has been given a fresh start. Although Picard is understandably grateful for being alive, he will also need to get used to wearing the golem body in Season 2.
"I wanted to know what, exactly, they had done to me when they saved my life, and was there any chance that this might have an impact on Picard's personality or behavior," Stewart said. With that in mind, we could learn what it's like for Picard to live in a completely new body.
Has Star Trek: Picard Season 2 Began Production and Filming?
The second season was supposed to begin production in 2020. Unfortunately, plans had to be pushed back due to COVID-19, and filming was expected to start in January 2021.
Interestingly, there has been a slight delay for Picard Season 2. Jeri Ryan confirmed on Twitter that production will begin in February. This lines up with Patrick Stewart getting a COVID-19 vaccine in late January to prepare for filming.
