Star Trek wanted a Seven of Nine show before Picard

Without Patrick Stewart, the next Star Trek show could have been a Borg spin-off

In an interview with TrekMovie.comJonathan Del Arco, who first appeared as Hugh the Borg in Star Trek: The Next Generation Season 5, Episode 23, “I, Borg,” talks about how the show that became Star Trek: Picard would have focused on the Borg if Patrick Stewart hadn’t signed to reprise his role as Jean-Luc Picard.

Jonathan del Arco: “There was no
Picard
still. It was a spin-off of Star Trek. Alex Kurtzman, James Duff and I think maybe there was another writer involved at the time and James really wanted it to be a Borg spin-off. So he talked to Jeri and I and really started talking to them about this Borg story. And somewhere in there he talked to us about it maybe a year before it even happened. And they didn’t have Patrick yet. I think then they made the pitch to Patrick. But if Patrick hadn’t done it, some kind of show about the Borg would have happened. That wouldn’t have been the case
Picard
it would have been a show about the Borg.

According to Del Arco, there are plans for a new one Star Trek A show about the Borg with a late 24th century setting was already underway in 2018.

Why Seven Of Nine deserves their own Star Trek show

Seven Of Nine’s story of self-acceptance must continue

Amid budget concerns and evolving plans for Star Trek As a franchise, Jeri Ryan’s Seven of Nine still deserves its own Star Trek show. Before modern times Star TrekFew characters can lay claim to the incredible character arc that Seven of Nine had. From an enemy Borg drone at odds with Captain Kathryn Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) to a woman discovering her lost humanity, Seven out of nine Star Trek: Voyager The journey is impressive enough, but Seven continues to grow Star Trek: Picardfrom the independent Fenris Ranger to the Starfleet captain commanding the USS Enterprise.

Star Trek: Picard hinted at what Seven of Nine’s Borg show might look like by showing Seven of Nine struggling to prove himself as a human just to survive in an inherently Borg-phobic Alpha Quadrant. Instead, Star Trek: Picard acted as a prelude to Star Trek Show about a self-realized Captain Seven of Nineand opens a new chapter of Seven’s story. It would be a disservice to walk away Star Trek: Legacy on the table when the opportunity is right there to finally fulfill your wish Star Trek Seven of Nine show, which was already planned for 2018.
