Stewart made the gesture during an appearance on The View, which is co-hosted by Goldberg. The actor, who plays Jean-Luc Picard, made it clear he wasn’t merely wishing for Goldberg to return, but formally passing along an offer from executive producer Alex Kurtzman and the producing team. Goldberg happily accepted, which seems to confirm she’ll indeed be appearing in Season 2.
You can see a clip of Goldberg and Stewart’s conversation on The View’s official Twitter feed.
In response to Stewart’s offer, Goldberg told her audience, “I’ve said it on this show before, but Star Trek was one of the great experiences from the beginning to the end. I had the best, best, best time.”
Ever the gentleman, Stewart responded, “It was wonderful having you, and we cannot wait to have you with us again one more time.”

This news serves as our first taste of what’s to come in Season 2, which was officially greenlit in January 2020, just ahead of the show’s January 23 premiere. Previously, Deadline reported Season 2 will be 10 episodes in length.
