“Star Trek: Picard” has already featured many familiar faces from throughout “Star Trek” lore: Q (John De Lancie), Hugh (Jonathan Del Arco), Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan) have all appeared, as have regular “Next Generation” cast members Frakes, Spiner, and Sirtis, all reprising their roles. 

The third season of “Picard,” already announced as the show’s last, will be a full cast reunion. Nothing is yet known about the situation of their reunion, nor the plot. Given the ages of the actors, “Star Trek” has finally caught up with “All Good Things…” the final episode of “Next Generation” which took place partially in the future and posited the future careers of each of the characters. Geordi (Burton) was raising kids and writing novels, Dr. Crusher (McFadden) had married and divorced Picard and was now captain of the Enterprise, Data (Spiner) was teaching, Worf (Dorn) was a diplomat, Troi (Sirtis) had died, and Riker (Frakes) was an admiral. 

Data died at the conclusion of “Nemesis” and then died again at the end of “Picard” season one. His return is currently a mystery.
