Many were thrilled with what this new season, specifically Season 3 brought back to screens.

For Star Trek fans everywhere it brought those familiar faces back, all of those amazing stars that helped bring Star Trek: The Next Generation to life!

You've got those legendary, memorable roles in "Star Trek: Picard".

As one of the well-loved Klingon stars Michael Dorn spoke to "Inside Of You," the podcast, about why he wanted to return, taking on Worf's character. "Star Trek: Discovery" actually asked for his return to Worf, so it could have been his return! There were other options that really made his comeback feel epic.

You may want to get ready, as the return was one for the books! One reason is simply money!

  • In this interview Dorn said that it was a very important offer. To help them all come back to Star Trek: The Next Generation.
  • In his words, he stated it was "we couldn’t say no." Even if this amount of compensation wasn't a lot.
  • You might ask how it could change so many of those decisions! Well, those actors could give up on these projects as they continued their impressive careers, but that didn't happen.
  • There was nothing astronomically impressive to those stars to come back.

A few big stars joined for "Star Trek: Picard" including: Jonathan Frakes, LeVar Burton, Gates McFadden, Marina Sirtis, Brent Spiner! In the end the decision that gave "Star Trek: Picard" that extra excitement came with an incredible group of people. And those actors like Michelle Hurd (as Commander Raffi Musiker), Jeri Ryan (who plays Seven of Nine), as well as these iconic faces were ready to return for this new adventure, plus we have new characters! They helped shape this new part of the Star Trek journey such as those stars: Todd Stashwick (he was the amazing Captain Liam Shaw, a big part of this exciting finale!).

Of course we can't forget this great name: Ashlei Sharpe Chestnut! It wasn't the return of Geordi La Forge but Chestnut really brought to life the powerful Ensign Sidney La Forge, a truly interesting, special character in Star Trek: Picard and a star whose potential is going to shine through many projects to come. "Star Trek: Picard" even had the brilliant, amazing Amanda Plummer who gave an outstanding, chilling performance as Vadic!

That list includes actors: Isa Briones (Soji), Santiago Cabrera (Captain Cristobal Rios), Evan Evagora (as Elnor) and Allison Pill (she plays Dr. Agnes Jurati)

Fans felt as if they were in for some more excitement. They wanted to see the Return of those from previous seasons in this big adventure but were sad when these actors were no longer a part of the show.

While they have been part of the show they haven't returned.

There have been hints that some of those cast members could come back to a future series like the newly announced show "Star Trek: Legacy," giving "Star Trek" an extra boost!

Fans want more to give their long awaited farewells. For one actress, this came with some heavy hearts as Hurd expressed just how heartbroken she was at this news!

However, she is still a big part of "Star Trek: Picard!". What's awesome for Hurd? Her role is a very important part, and even got an awesome arc in the finale!
