Stewart explained how writers Alex Kurtzman and Akiva Goldsman had approached him with a pitch for a Picard-focused series, and the actor admits that his first reaction was to say, ‘No, definitely not interested. Sorry.” During a subsequent meeting with Kurtzman, Star Trek novelist Kirsten Beyer, and screenwriter James Duff, Stewart reiterated how he had no real interest in revisiting Picard, believing he’d explored all he could with that character’s story.”I had very much enjoyed being Jean-Luc and kept him close in my heart. But. I was done with him,” Stewart said. “I had said everything I wanted to say about him. His journey, as far as I was concerned, was complete, and for the remainder of my life, I was eager to find work as far away from Star Trek as possible, to keep moving forward as an actor.”Related: Patrick Stewart Reveals How He Wanted Star Trek: Picard to End
