Gates McFadden Returns As Dr. Beverly Crusher In Star Trek: Picard Season 3
Gates McFadden also reprises her iconic role as Dr. Beverly Crusher in Star Trek: Picard season 3. Dr. Crusher was one of the Star Trek: The Next Generation actors who weren't part of Picard seasons 1 and 2, but the reunion of the entire cast of TNG in Picard season 3 has drawn raves from critics and fans alike. Star Trek: Picard season 3 premiered on Paramount+ on February 16th, and the 10-episode season streams new episodes every Thursday.
Dr. Beverly Crusher is also more of an action heroine in Star Trek: Picard season 3, which is thrilling for both audiences and the actor playing her. Beverly is a key player in the new Picard season, and the premiere episode, titled "The Next Generation," dropped the bombshell cliffhanger that Beverly has another, fully-grown son, played by Ed Speleers. Indeed, Dr. Crusher cut off her ties with Admiral Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) and the crew of the USS Enterprise for over 20 years, but Star Trek: Picard season 3 begins with Beverly calling Picard for help, which kicks off the action and mysteries of the season.
With the heightened interest in Dr. Beverly Crusher thanks to Star Trek: Picard season 3, it's the perfect time for Gates McFadden's InvestiGates: Who Do You Think You Are? Season 2 to launch. InvestiGates serves as the perfect compliment to the weekly cinematic thrill ride of Star Trek: Picard season 3. Further, Gates' upcoming conversations with luminaries from other Star Trek series makes Gates McFadden InvestiGates: Who Do You Think You Are? Season 2 a can't-miss listen for Trekkers of every generation.
