Is Star Trek: Picard lasting 7 seasons a possibility?

[Quinton]

I had the feeling season 1 was already written in a way that it could "end" the show:

Patrick Stewart is of old age. Being the main character of a new show is pretty demanding for your health. I'm pretty sure - if it would have been obvious Stewart didn't have the condition to continue, Picard's "death" in season 1 would have been final.

Since Stewart is a tough guy (and still hits the gym) they found out he's on board for another two seasons - so he got resurrected as a robot.

That means - it's an absolute possibility there will be a season 4. But I guess they won't make this decision now - they will make it in a year, depending on weather Stewart is still game by the time.

Until then, I suspect season 3 will again serve as an end/not-end, with a somewhat "proper" ending, that still allows to get back in action later on.

I don't know. I think it'll be pretty definitive. It won't exclude the idea of a potential fourth season, but it will feel very much like a closing door. The producers have been quite loud (relatively speaking) that the third season is it with the slight caveat that they'd do more if Stewart and Paramount were interested.

You read "Like on TNG..." and then shut off your brain, right?

Easy there.

Sorry @Danja - that came across more harsh than I intended to...
