The second season finale of Star Trek: Picard brought back a beloved Star Trek: The Next Generation star, Wil Wheaton, as Wesley Crusher. A new behind-the-scenes look at the cameo reveals that the various current Star Trek shows competed to have Welsey appear in their episodes. In the video, released via the official Star Trek website and social media channels, Wheaton says he was happy to come back in a scene that canonizes the version of Wesley Crusher post-Next Generation that has long existed in his personal head-canon. Producers Akiva Goldsman and Alex Kurtzman reveal that when the idea to bring Welsey back in Picard came up, the other Star Trek shows argued, with at least one apparently already hatching plans for Welsey’s return.
