The dizzying alternate Picard timeline on Paramount+ will not be an infinite one.

After cast members had previously suggested that the latest Sir Patrick Stewart-led Star Trek series will soon conclude, Paramount made the news official on Tuesday: Picard will end after its third season. As part of its conclusion, the series will ramp up its inclusion of familiar faces from Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Tuesday's announcement confirmed that actors Levar Burton, Michael Dorn, and Gates McFadden will appear in the series during its third season, as joined by previous Picard guest stars and TNG cast mates Jonathan Frakes, Marina Sirtis, and Brent Spiner.

Each revealed third-season actor mutters bits of dialogue in a brief teaser trailer that ends with Picard and Riker facing off in an apparent duel.
