"...this time emanating from a South African lab, with pharmaceutical companies looking to get ahead of a new disease, in order to profit from vaccine inoculations ..."
Picard was formally renewed for a third season September 2021, with Seasons Two and Three filming back to back in a bid to control costs and accommodate production schedules. Season Two will start...
