5 Star Trek Actors Who Are NOT Returning For Picard Season 3

6. Evan Evagora

Evan Evagora won our hearts in Star Trek: Picard's first season as the perpetually honest Elnor. This young Romulan had a close connection with Jean-Luc, was raised on Vashti, and trained in the art of absolute candor by the Quwot Milat. His first appearance in the second season showed him to have joined Starfleet - the first full-blooded Romulan to have done so.

Fans were shocked with his abrupt death in the third episode, as he had come to be such a large part of the show. Though he appeared in various cameos throughout the season, Elnor was certainly relegated to a secondary status this year. Q did resurrect the young man in the finale, but it seems that even this wasn't enough to guarantee his future with Star Trek.

Evagora announced on Instagram that, while it had been a hell of a ride, he would not be returning for the third season. This is a little surprising, as his character is alive and well by the second season's finale. This indicates that the third season is going to pivot away from the established story so far.
