STAR TREK: The Next Generation Cast Reunion | 39 Years Later

Star Trek: The Next Generation cast then and now — revisit Patrick Stewart, Jonathan Frakes, Brent Spiner and more in an imagined reunion, 39 years after TNG’s 1987 debut. The bridge of the Enterprise-D. Picard’s calm authority. Data’s curiosity. Riker’s grin. For anyone who grew up exploring the galaxy with this crew, these faces feel like coming home. This 2026 tribute brings together 32 performers and their characters from across The Next Generation’s 1987–1994 run, including familiar crew members, recurring favorites and memorable guest stars. The year comparison marks the series premiere; individual characters appeared at different points during the show. From Geordi, Worf and Deanna Troi to Beverly Crusher, Guinan and Q, revisit the people who made the Enterprise feel like a family.
