‘Star Trek: Lower Decks’ Creator Mike McMahan On Making His “Dream Animated” Series: “Five Years Later, It Still Feels Like A Miracle”
'Star Trek: Lower Decks' creator Mike McMahan On making his dream animated 'Star Trek' series and developing a character arc for Mariner.
Season four has a large focus on Mariner [Tawny Newsome]’s backstory and character arc, which McMahan says is something he couldn’t really do on other serialized programs he’s worked on before. MIKE MCMAHAN: I knew some folks over at Secret Hideout and they had talked to me before about maybe coming in to be a lower level writer on Star Trek Discovery when they were starting that. It wasn’t this crafted thing, it really came out of a conversation with Alex about what I like about Star Trek, what gets me excited about it and how would I interpret the franchise through a writing lens that I’m comfortable with.
