With this Thursday bringing the return of Paramount+'s Sir Patrick Stewart-starring Star Trek: Picard for its third and final season, the streaming series shared an excellent way to learn a little more about the years between "The Next Generation" and "Picard in the form of the Star Trek Logs Instagram account and its series of "log entries" offering background intel on our major players (as well as three important ships). But this time around, our focus shifts back to what's to come with a look at a new set of preview images for Season 3 Episode 1, "The Next Generation"- take a look:

For a look ahead at what's to come as well as the road we took to get here, check out the following featurettes for Star Trek: Picard Season 3 (followed by a look back at previous previews):

Paramount+'s streaming series features Stewart reprising his iconic role as Jean-Luc Picard, which he played for seven seasons on "The Next Generation," and follows this iconic character into the next chapter of his life. LeVar Burton, Michael Dorn, Jonathan Frakes, Gates McFadden, Marina Sirtis, Brent Spiner (as Lore), Jeri Ryan, and Michelle Hurd star alongside Stewart in the third and final season of the hit streaming series.

Looking Ahead to Star Trek: Picard Season 3

Thanks to The Ready Room host Wil Wheaton (Star Trek: The Next Generation, The Big Bang Theory), we have a preview clip from next month's return episode. And it does an excellent job of setting up the season as Jen-Luc receives a mysterious encrypted transmission. But more than the message, the bigger mystery is why it's coming through a 20-year-old-plus Enterprise-D communicator. So check out the clip below (beginning around the 28:45 mark), and then get caught up on the previously-released previews that hit over the past few months (with the series returning on February 16th):
