In celebration of Star Trek Day, Paramount+ yesterday revealed an exclusive clip from the fifth and final season of its hit animated comedy series Star Trek: Lower Decks. The new season will premiere on Paramount+ with two episodes on Thursday, October 24 in the U.S. and internationally, with new episodes of the 10-episode long season dropping every Thursday through Thursday, December 19.
In season five, the crew of the U.S.S. Cerritos is tasked with closing “space potholes”—subspace rifts that are causing chaos in the Alpha Quadrant. Pothole duty would be easy for Junior 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.
The Starfleet crew residing in the “lower decks” of the U.S.S. Cerritos includes the voices of Tawny Newsome (Quiz Lady, Brockmire), Jack Quaid (The Boys, Scream), Noël Wells (Master of None, Mr. Roosevelt), and Eugene Cordero (Loki, Tacoma FD); the bridge crew is voiced by Dawnn Lewis (A Different World, Futurama), Jerry O’Connell (Billions, Stand By Me), Fred Tatasciore (Kung Fu Panda 2, Team America: World Police), and Gillian Vigman (The Hangover, The Long Game),
