‘Star Trek: Lower Decks’ Final Season Gets Premiere Date, Teaser, First-Look Photos At Comic-Con 

Paramount+ on Saturday debuted the premiere date and teaser trailer for the fifth and final season of its hit animated comedy series Star Trek: Lower Decks.

The season premieres on Paramount+ with two episodes on Thursday, October 24 in the U.S. and internationally. Following the premiere, new episodes of the 10-episode long season will drop every Thursday on the service leading up to the series finale on Thursday, December 19.

Timed to the Star Trek universe panel at San Diego Comic-Con, taking place inside Hall H, Paramount+ also unveiled a series of first-look stills from the new season, which you can view above and below. The fact that this season of Lower Decks will be its last was met with a loud boo from the crowd. Those repping the show in Hall H included cast members Tawny Newsome, Jack Quaid, Noël Wells and Jerry O’Connell, along with executive producers Alex Kurtzman and Mike McMahan.

In Season 5 of Lower Decks, 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. The 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.

An animated comedy focused on the support crew serving on one of Starfleet’s least important ships, the U.S.S. Cerritos, the show also features the voices of Eugene Cordero, Dawnn Lewis, Fred Tatasciore and Gillian Vigman.

Star Trek: Lower Decks is produced by CBS Studios’ animation arm Eye Animation Productions; Secret Hideout; and Roddenberry Entertainment. Exec producers include Kurtzman, McMahan, Aaron Baiers, Rod Roddenberry and Trevor Roth. Titmouse, the Emmy-winning independent animation production company, serves as the animation studio for the series. The show streams exclusively on Paramount+ in the U.S. and Latin America and is distributed by Paramount Global Content Distribution.

The Star Trek franchise on Paramount+ also includes the fifth and final season of Star Trek: Discovery, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, the upcoming original movie Star Trek: Section 31 starring Oscar winner Michelle Yeoh, and the new original series Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, slated to begin production later this year. All seasons of the original series Star Trek: Picard, which has Patrick Stewart reprising the role of Jean-Luc Picard, are also available to stream.
