‘Star Trek: Lower Decks’ Star Tawny Newsome on Her New ‘Trek’ Comedy and Whether the Series Finale Is Really the End: ‘None of Us Are Done’
"Star Trek: Lower Decks" star Tawny Newsome discusses whether the series finale is truly the end of the show, and the status of her own "Trek" comedy.
In the final season, the core quartet — who’ve all earned promotions to lieutenant junior grade — confront a series of rifts in the space-time continuum that link to different realities, which allowed the writers, led by executive producer and showrunner Mike McMahan, to further explore the possible paths the characters could have taken. Mariner, Boimler and the rest of the Cerritos crew manage to repair the rift by making it a stable, permanent aperture between different realities, thereby opening up an entire new field of inter-dimensional exploration. We left the end of Season 2 with this big cliffhanger of Carol being carted off to jail and Beckett’s like, “I’m going to get her exonerated, I don’t trust the Starfleet brass to do it themselves.” She and her little merry band of weirdos steal a ship and go to Bozeman, Montana, and meet the hologram of Zephram Cochrane.
