With the new season imminent, the show has dropped a pile of new images. Plus, there’s an audio drama coming too.
With Season 2 of Star Trek: Picard just over a month away, the promotional engine has kicked up a gear. Over the weekend, a number of new images landed showing more of Picard himself, Q and the rest of the characters in some interesting new garb (presumably to suit a darker timeline).

Season 3
Meanwhile, Executive Producer Terry Matalas has been teasing the still-filming Season 3, which is set to conclude the Picard story. He told SFX:
“There are a few nods to the Kirk movies. I grew up with the original series and the Kirk movies. That’s my Star Trek. So you’ll see a few of those things kind of tie some Star Trek together.”
He also praised the show’s co-creator Akiva Goldsman for his work with the show’s central character, saying:
“And I think Akiva has constructed a really fascinating and heartbreaking psychological exploration of Picard that no one is expecting.”

Matalas also talked of “absolutely legendary moments” which the show has kept under wraps, with “… starship designs and things for the next two seasons that I’m really excited about.”
Star Trek: Picard Season 2 lands at Prime Video on March the 3th, and on Paramount+ where available.
No Man’s Land
While we wait for that Season 2 launch, there’s an opportunity to fill the gap with audio; the upcoming No Man’s Land stars Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan) and Raffi (Michelle Hurd). While there are a number of Picard spin-off books, this is the show’s first full-cast audio drama.
Here’s the synopsis:
No Man’s Land picks up right after the action-packed season one conclusion of Star Trek: Picard. While Raffi and Seven of Nine are enjoying some much-needed R&R in Raffi’s remote hideaway, their downtime is interrupted by an urgent cry for help: a distant, beleaguered planet has enlisted the Fenris Rangers to save an embattled evacuation effort.
As Raffi and Seven team up to rescue a mysteriously ageless professor whose infinity-shaped talisman has placed him in the deadly sights of a vicious Romulan warlord, they take tentative steps to explore the attraction depicted in the final moments of Picard season one.
A full-cast audio drama, the story is written by Kirsten Beyer, the co-creator, writer, and producer of Picard, and Mike Johnson, a veteran contributor of Star Trek comics.
The cast also includes Fred Tatasciore (Lower Decks), Jack Cutmore-Scott (Tenet), John Kassir, Chris Andrew Ciulla, Lisa Flanagan, Gibson Frazier, Lameece Issaq, Natalie Naudus, Xe Sands, and Emily Woo Zeller.
No Man’s Land is published by Simon & Schuster Audio (where you can hear an extract) and will also be available in the UK via Audible. It’s out on the 22nd of February.
