Patrick Stewart Wanted A Different Star Trek: Picard Ending & 1 More Movie

Summary

• Sir Patrick Stewart reveals his original idea for the ending of Star Trek: Picard, wanting to see a content and happy Jean-Luc Picard with a wife.
• The proposed ending involved a beautiful scene at Jean-Luc's vineyard, where he is called inside by a loving voice and fades into history.
• Stewart hopes to make a Picard movie and is urging Paramount to consider it, envisioning an expansion and deepening of the universe seen in Star Trek: Picard.

Sir Patrick Stewart wanted a different ending for Star Trek: Picard, and he would like Jean-Luc Picard's story to end with a new movie as he describes in his upcoming memoir, "Making It So." Star Trek: Picard season 3 was a hit with audiences and critics, bringing the 35+ year saga of Star Trek: The Next Generation to a satisfying and emotional conclusion. However, Stewart had his own "original intent" of how Jean-Luc Picard's story should come to a close, and he is disappointed it was never filmed.
Time published an excerpt from "Making It So" where Patrick Stewart gives his personal account of how he committed to Star Trek: Picard, and how the series changed throughout its 3 seasons. Fascinatingly, Stewart described the ending he wanted for Jean-Luc Picard, which is very different from the Picard finale's jovial poker game with the cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Read the quote from "Making It So" below:

The third season came off magnificently. But its final scene, in which the reunited crew is gathered around a table with drinks, sharing a toast, is not how it was originally supposed to end. I had a different idea, which I brought to the writers a few months before we wrapped the series.
“What I’d like to see at the end of the show,” I told them, “is a content Jean-Luc. I want to see Picard perfectly at ease with his situation. Not anxious, not in a frenzy, not depressed. And I think this means that there is a wife in the picture.”
You see, the line between Jean-Luc and me has grown ever more blurred. If I have found true love, shouldn’t he?
The writers came up with a lovely scene. It is dusk at Jean-Luc’s vineyard. His back is to us as he takes in the view, his dog at his side.
Then, off-screen, a woman’s loving voice is heard: “Jean-Luc? Supper’s ready!”
Is it Beverly Crusher’s voice? Laris’s? Someone we don’t know? It isn’t made clear. But Sunny was set to record the lines.
Heeding his wife’s call, Jean-Luc turns around, says to his dog, “C’mon, boy,” and heads inside. Dusk fades to night, and Picard fades into history.
