Star Trek: Lower Decks Plot and Cast

“Lower Decks” has never shied away from the challenge of acting as the redheaded stepchild of “Star Trek,” down to its tone, humor, and its very visuals. More “Rick and Morty” than “The Animated Series,” “Lower Decks” follows the escapades of a motley crew of Starfleet officers currently serving aboard the U.S.S. Cerritos.

Deriving its name from a memorable episode of “The Next Generation” and set concurrently with the events of “Nemesis,” “Lower Decks” brings a whole new perspective to the 24th Century utopia — chiefly, through the eyes of those stuck with the absolute worst jobs on a state-of-the-art spaceship … though the ship they’re stuck on is a far cry from the futuristic sterility of the Enterprise.

The voice cast of “Lower Decks” features quite a few big names: Tawny Newsome as Beckett Mariner, Jack Quaid as Brad Boiler, Noël Wells as D’Vana Tendi, Eugene Cordero as Sam Rutherford, Dawnn Lewis as Carol Freeman, Jerry O’Connell as Jack Ransom, Fred Tatasciore as Shaxs, and Gillian Vigman as T’Ana. The “Search for Spock”-themed poster certainly hints at how Season 3 may go down, but luckily viewers won’t have much longer to wait before finding out for themselves.

Star Trek: Lower Decks Season 3 Release Date

As announced by Paramount+, Season 3 will debut on Thursday, August 25, 2022. New episodes will subsequently be made available to stream on the streaming service every Thursday, running for another 10 total episodes.

Season 3 will be made available for subscribers to the Paramount+ streaming service, which serves as the one-stop shop for all “Trek”-related matters.
