Fans have been talking about the idea of a "Star Trek: Legacy" spin-off of Star Trek: Picard since the series wrapped up last April, and members of the cast and crew have joined in. No spin-off is currently in development, but now one of the potential stars says fans could play a part in making it happen.
Before her time playing Raffi Musiker on three seasons of Star Trek: Picard, Michelle Hurd had a long career in Hollywood, including a couple of seasons of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. She attended a special SVU 25th anniversary event last week where TV Insider asked her about the chances of her returning to Star Trek. The actress made it clear she is ready to board the Enterprise-G:
Hurd also told TV Insider she thinks it would be "phenomenal" to have a Star Trek team-up with Michelle Yeoh, who starts shooting that Section 31 movie next week."I love Raffi. She's my favorite character. We have hands, fingers, everything's crossed for Star Trek: Legacy. I know that right now they're working on Section 31 for Michelle Yeoh. And then they're going to do Starfleet Academy. That's going to be a series. And then if the fans still want it, they'll start working on Star Trek: Legacy."
For what it's worth, Picard showrunner Terry Matalas shared the original TV Insider article with Michelle Hurd talking about Legacy on Twitter/X. The last we heard from Matalas was during the Trek Talks 3 Picard reunion panel on January 13th, when he said there was no spin-off in development but added "I wish, I wish." He also revealed he is still talking about potential ideas with members of the TNG cast and added the hopeful note, "I don't think you ever really need to fully say goodbye to any of these characters or storylines."
