Star Trek’s newest series will finally fill in the missing parts of Voyager’s timeline. To commemorate Star Trek: Voyager’s 30th anniversary, IDW is releasing Homecoming, a miniseries giving Janeway, Seven of Nine and the rest of the crew a proper send off. Along the way, it will fill in gaps in Seven of Nine’s history.
For example, we're going to do a little bit more with Seven. Because at the end of Voyager, there's another big gap. And as soon as you get to Picard, Seven is a very different person when we get there. So it's fun to kind of thread her along the path a bit, as part of the story to that as well.
Star Trek: Voyager: Homecoming will be drawn by Angel Hernandez.
Star Trek: Voyager Introduced Seven of Nine After the Borg Hit it Big in First Contact
The Fate of Some of Voyager's Crew Remains a Mystery
Star Trek:Voyager concluded its run in 2001, and its finale saw the ship return to the Alpha Quadrant. However, Voyager made it home in the episode’s last five minutes, which is hardly enough time to provide proper resolution to every story arc and character on the show. Voyager’s finale left some fans wanting.
Harry Kim appeared in IDW's adjective-less Star Trek comic, working for Starfleet Intelligence.
After Voyager, her crew would make brief appearances across the Star Trek franchise. For example, Tom Paris appeared in an episode of Lower Decks while Janeway would appear in Star Trek: Nemesis. However, many crewmembers, such as B’Elanna and Harry Kim, are still unaccounted for, at least in canonical, on-screen media.

Seven of Nine Completed Her Inspiring Star Trek Character Arc as Captain of the Enterprise
Star Trek: Picard’s first season also established a new status quo for Seven of Nine. An ally of Picard’s, Seven was a member of the Fenris Rangers, a group of outlaw vigilantes who patrol the galaxy’s wilder eras, keeping the helpless safe. It was an interesting shift in careers for Seven, and fans never learned why she joined.
Eventually, Seven left the Rangers and officially joined Starfleet, serving as First Officer aboard the USS Titan. As seen in Picard’s season three finale, Seven was promoted to captain of the Enterprise NCC-1701-G. At long last, Seven of Nine’s arc was seemingly complete, having gone from former Borg drone to captain of Starfleet’s flagship.

Star Trek: Voyager: Homecoming Will Explore Seven's Post-Voyager Fate
Yet while Star Trek: Picard may have filled in some gaps in Seven’s history, it did not go into detail, which is where Homecoming comes in.

The Bridges have stated that the series will explore Seven’s time after Voyager returns, and presumably will show the factors that led to her joining the Fenris Rangers.
Seven of Nine Was Denied Her Own Star Trek Show
Star Trek: Voyager: Homecoming Will Give Fans More Seven of Nine
The final minutes of the Picard season three finale functioned as a backdoor pilot for a new Star Trek show led by Seven of Nine. So far, unfortunately, this program has failed to materialize, much to the disappointment of Voyager fans. While Homecoming may not be what they are looking for, it will give them more Seven nonetheless.
