Collider Extras's video: Star Trek Picard Season 3 Showrunner Explains Where Kestra Is

The latest episode of Star Trek: Picard Season 3 delivered satisfying moments across the board from the revival of Data (Brent Spiner) and Worf's (Michael Dorn) heroic rescue of Riker (Jonathan Frakes) and Troi (Marina Sirtis) to Vadic (Amanda Plummer) meeting her karmic end and the whole Next Generation crew coming together. With all of these resolutions, we still have a hefty handful of questions leading into the final two episodes of the series. One of which is the whereabouts of Riker and Troi's daughter Kestra (Lulu Wilson). Introduced in the Picard Season 1 episode "Nepenthe," Kestra is Riker and Troi's youngest child, and after watching them go through the loss of their son Thad, fans will be glad to hear Kestra is safe from the changelings—and whoever they're working for. Collider's own Maggie Lovitt recently sat down with Season 3 showrunner Terry Matalas to get a behind-the-scenes look at Episode 8 and he was able to give us some insight into where the youngest of the Troi-Rikers is during this particular crisis. "The way we looked at it, she's very likely in early admission at Starfleet Academy. So, safe and sound, unaware that her parents are in jeopardy." In Season 1, young Kestra was introduced with a particular affinity for starships, so it makes complete sense that she'd jump at the opportunity to follow in her parent's footsteps and join Starfleet.
