Jonathan Frakes discusses his hopes that Star Trek: Picard season 3 will receive an Emmy nomination. Acclaimed by critics and fans alike, Picard season 3 has delivered on being a worthy follow-up to Star Trek: The Next Generation, giving the iconic characters one more adventure to save the galaxy. The series finale of Star Trek: Picard streams on Paramount+ Thursday, April 20th, and it's receiving an impressive sendoff as the final two episodes will be screened in IMAX in 10 cities on Wednesday, April 19th.
In an exclusive interview with Screen Rant to raise awareness for Trek Against Pancreatic Cancer, Jonathan Frakes was asked about Emmy chances for Star Trek: Picard season 3 and for his own performance as Captain William T. Riker. Read his quotes below:
Screen Rant: There's a lot of chatter online about an Emmy nomination for you. Everybody says, and I agree, you've never been better as Riker.
Jonathan Frakes: From your mouth to God's ears.
TNG was the only Star Trek series to get the best drama nomination back in 1994. Maybe Picard will be considered. Maybe lightning will strike twice.
Jonathan Frakes: Let's hope. We're doing a screening for the Television Academy for the final two episodes. Next week, I believe?
Yeah, the IMAX screening. Yeah.
Jonathan Frakes: Yeah. It would be a great way to finish things up. Get Patrick a nomination, get the show nominated. It'd be just brilliant.
