During its epic Star Trek Universe panel at San Diego Comic-Con on Sunday, Paramount+ dropped a teaser trailer for the fifth and final season of its adult animated comedy series Star Trek: Lower Decks. This final 10-episode mission for the U.S.S. Cerritos will blast off with two episodes streaming on Thursday, October 24 in the U.S. and internationally, with new episodes each Thursday through to the finale on Thursday, December 19.
The panel featured an exclusive conversation with cast members Tawny Newsome (Beckett Mariner), Jack Quaid (Brad Boimler), Noël Wells (D’Vana Tendi) and Jerry O’Connell (Jack Ransom), alongside executive producers Alex Kurtzman and Mike McMahan.
S5 Synopsis: In Season 5, the crew of the U.S.S. Cerritos is tasked with closing “space potholes” — subspace rifts which are causing chaos in the Alpha Quadrant. Pothole duty would be easy for Jr. Officers Mariner, Boimler, Tendi and Rutherford … if they didn’t also have to deal with an Orion war, furious Klingons, diplomatic catastrophes, murder mysteries and scariest of all: their own career aspirations.
This upcoming season on Paramount+ is a celebration of this underdog crew who are dangerously close to being promoted out of the lower decks and into strange new Starfleet roles.
Star Trek: Lower Decks also features the voices of Eugene Cordero, Dawnn Lewis, Fred Tatasciore and Gillian Vigman.
The series is produced by CBS’ Eye Animation Productions, CBS Studios’ animation arm; Secret Hideout; and Roddenberry Entertainment. Executive producers include Kurtzman, McMahan, Aaron Baiers, Rod Roddenberry and Trevor Roth. Emmy-winning studio Titmouse serves as the animation studio for the series.
