Stewart was afraid that the series might lessen the impact that was created with an iconic series likeThe Next Generationand disappoint fans. However the actor had an extraordinary experience with the three seasons ofPicard, and he regretted nothing about the show. Stewart said,
Oh, I had many concerns, and fundamentally they centered around should I really do this at all? Because Next Generation had been such an iconic series that I didn’t want to risk the impact of that, which it still has.
It was in every sense, an extraordinary experience. And although I had serious doubts to begin with, at the end, I regretted nothing.
