Star Trek: Prodigy has been saved by Star Trek fans, and now there is a renewed push to get a green light for a spinoff of Star Trek: Picard season 3 called Star Trek: Legacy. Showrunner Terry Matalas orchestrated the successful reunion of the cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation in Picard season 3, which was a massive hit on Paramount+. Despite the clear setup for a continuation on the USS Enterprise-G, Paramount+ has made no progress in developing the spinoff series, Star Trek: Legacy.
A fan-driven campaign called Letters 4 Legacy is uniting fans in an effort to revive the push for Star Trek: Legacy. The campaign urges fans to stream Star Trek: Picard season 3 on Paramount+ as a way to show support. To kick off the campaign, a "Legacy Launch" event called Star Trek: Picard Season 3 Rewatch has been organized, calling for fans to stream each episode every Thursday, starting November 9th. The schedule for the "Legacy Launch" - Star Trek: Picard Season 3 Rewatch is as follows:

On January 18, 2024, the press release from Letters 4 Legacy reveals that the rewatch of Star Trek: Picard season 3, with each episode being streamed every Thursday, has a significant purpose. It seeks to mobilize and urge Paramount not to let the potential future of Star Trek: Legacy fade away. The objective is to secure approval for Star Trek: Legacy, with Terry Matalas as the showrunner, along with the existing creative team and cast, to carry on the narrative of Star Trek's 25th century from where Picard season 3 concluded.
Why Picard Season 3 Fans Want Star Trek: Legacy
The demand from fans for Star Trek: Legacy has not diminished since the finale of Star Trek: Picard season 3 aired on Paramount+. An online petition calling for the production of Star Trek: Legacy has gathered more than 62,000 signatures. Despite the Writer's Guild and SAG-AFTRA strikes prohibiting the writers, and still preventing the actors, from publicly supporting Terry Matalas' vision to continue the storyline of Star Trek: Picard season 3, fans have consistently expressed their desire for Star Trek: Legacy.
Star Trek: Picard season 3 concluded with an undeniably fascinating setup for future adventures aboard the USS Enterprise-G.
With Captain Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan) and Commander Raffi Musiker (Michelle Hurd) now taking the lead in Star Trek: Legacy, and the return of Q (John de Lancie) teasing the cosmic destiny of Ensign Jack Crusher (Ed Speleers), fans are eagerly anticipating the continuation of these storylines. Additionally, Picard season 3 introduced a dynamic supporting cast, including Lieutenant Sidney La Forge (Ashlei Sharpe Chestnut), and the beloved Star Trek legend Jonathan Frakes expressed his desire to reprise his role as Admiral Will Riker and make cameo appearances in the spinoff while also directing episodes. The "Legacy Launch," a rewatch of Star Trek: Picard Season 3, is a fantastic opportunity to relive Terry Matalas' thrilling reunion of the iconic characters from Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Editor's P/S
As a Star Trek fan, I am thrilled to see the passionate support for a spinoff focusing on Picard's legacy. The success of the campaign to save Star Trek: Prodigy demonstrates the power of fan engagement, and I am hopeful that the Letters 4 Legacy campaign will be equally successful.
The conclusion of Picard season 3 left many unanswered questions and exciting possibilities for the future of the Star Trek universe. I am particularly intrigued by the potential for a continuation aboard the USS Enterprise-G, with Captain Seven of Nine and Commander Raffi Musiker taking the lead. The return of Q and the introduction of a dynamic supporting cast also add to the excitement.
I plan to participate in the "Legacy Launch" rewatch of Star Trek: Picard season 3 and encourage other fans to do the same. By showing our support for the spinoff, we can send a clear message to Paramount+ that there is a strong demand for more Star Trek content.
