‘Star Trek: Lower Decks’ Team Say Although the Show Will End With Season 5, Audiences Will Feel Like They Could ‘Keep Telling These Stories’


The 'Star Trek: Lower Decks' creator and cast joined the Variety Studio to discuss the fifth and final season of the "Star Trek" animated spin-off.

Across five seasons of the Paramount+ animated series “ Star Trek: Lower Decks,” the voice cast got so close that costar Jerry O’Connell invited his fellow actors and “Lower Decks” creator Mike McMahan to his birthday party — where he read them a poem dedicated to their friendships. So yes, the characters do go through a change this season, but ultimately where we end, you don’t feel like they aren’t still ‘Lower Decks’ and that we couldn’t keep telling those kinds of stories.” With almost six decades of lore to pull from, fans can expect plenty of references to past “Star Trek” series in Season 5.
