Star Trek: Picard boss has weighed in on the upcoming third season, set to wrap production at the end of the year.
Executive producer and co-showrunner Terry Matalas said this new chapter will have a few Easter eggs for fans of Star Trek.
"There are a few nods to the Kirk movies. I grew up with the original series and the Kirk movies. That's my Star Trek. So you'll see a few of those things kind of tie some Star Trek together," he told SFX.

Matalas also praised co-creator Akiva Goldsman for the character study done with Picard.
"And I think Akiva has constructed a really fascinating and heartbreaking psychological exploration of Picard that no one is expecting," he said.
What to Read Next
The showrunner was fairly tight-lipped, but teased several "legendary moments" ahead.
"My inner fanboy is kind of on fire with the stuff that I've been able to do," he said.

Matalas then added: "There's a lot of things that I can't talk about yet that I'm just bursting at the seams to talk about. There's been a lot of absolutely legendary moments that have happened in the last year with no press yet. There are starship designs and things for the next two seasons that I'm really excited about."
The showrunner of Picard recently took to Twitter to share images of a new Starfleet ship, with details of the bridge chair and console that fans will get to see more very soon.
Star Trek: Picard airs on Paramount+ in the US. Season 1 is available on Amazon Prime Video in the UK.
