10 Star Trek Characters Who MUST Return (2025)

3. Wesley Crusher

It's safe to say we're keen on the idea of this Mozart-like prodigy's return — to follow his return in Star Trek: Prodigy. We recently published a whole list entitled '10 Reasons Wesley Crusher Needs His Own Spin-Off Series'!

For too long, Wesley, and sadly also Wil, were easy targets. Now, he boldly wears the sweater, sipping mango juice. And the best thing is, with a little space, time, thought, Wesley can travel to any series. Fire up the definitely-a-'TARDIS' in that ziggurat! There's the universe, and universes, to explore.

We've mentioned Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, but there's no reason Wesley can't appear in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. Wesley can still be the yarn to knit the franchise together. In that way, there is also the 'Crusher' of the credits of 765874: Unification. That may or may not have been the former wonderchild of the Enterprise-D by the fountain.
