Star Trek: Picard showrunner talks "blood, sweat, and tears" that went into recreating original Enterprise-D bridge
Exclusive: Star Trek: Picard♔ showrunner Terry Matalas tel𒀰ls SFX Magazine about recreating the iconic set

Star Trek: Picard season 3 sees the return of several legacy characters – namely LeVar Burton as La Forge, Michael Dorn as Worf, Jonathan Frakes as Riker, Gates McFadden as Crusher, Marina 𓄧Sirtis as Troi, and Brent Spiner as the android Lore – and also a legacy set. In episode 9, we boarded 💛the Enterprise-D once again, and the Picard team recreated the original bridge from Star Trek: Enterprise.
"Building that set, getting it finished in time, shooting it, and reuniting that cast on that set... there were a lot of tears shed – blood, sweat, and tears – to make all that happen, but it was worth it," showrunner Terry Matalas tells 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:SFX Magazine in the new issue, featuring 𝓡Picard on the cover.
"On the day of the Enterprise-D, that was an extraordinary feeling for all of them, to be back on that set. Because we built it exactly how it was, going back to the original blueprints, going back to the original designers – we brought Mike and Denise Okuda back. Even ✱the grain of wood on the a👍rch was hand-painted to match exactly as it was in the day.
"So there wasn't a detail missed. It was extraordinary for⛄ the actors to be back there in that space, and they ღimmediately all went to their stations. It was kind of adorable. That is the only set from season 3 that has been saved, and I believe the Roddenberry archives have it."
Star Trek: Picard season 3 wraps up this week, with the finale streaming now on 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Paramount Plus in both the US and the UK.
