What’s This TV Show About?
Streaming on the CBS All Access subscription service, Star Trek: Lower Decks is the latest TV show in the franchise based on the original Star Trek series created by Gene Roddenberry. The series stars the voices of Tawny Newsome, Jack Quaid, Noël Wells, Eugene Cordero, Dawnn Lewis, Jerry O’Connell, Fred Tatasciore, and Gillian Vigman. The show focuses on the support crew that serves on one of Starfleet’s least important ships, the U.S.S. Cerritos, in the year 2380. Ensigns include irreverent Beckett Mariner (Newsome), rule-following Brad Boimler (Quaid), medical assistant D’Vana Tendi (Wells), and Sam Rutherford (Cordero), who’s adjusting to a cyborg implant. They have to keep up with their duties and their social lives, often while the ship is being rocked by a multitude of sci-fi anomalies. The bridge crew of the U.S.S. Cerritos include Captain Carol Freeman (Lewis), First Officer Jack Ransom (O’Connell), Bajoran Lieutenant Shaxs (Tatasciore), and Doctor T’Ana (Vigman).
Star Trek: Lower Decks has been renewed for a second season which will debut August 12, 2021. Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
We don’t have to wonder if CBS All Access will cancel or renew Star Trek: Lower Decks for season two. The series has already been picked up for a second season. On top of that, the streaming service is trying to attract more subscribers and it’s been reported that the plan is to keep releasing new Trek programming all year round. An animated series like this is a relatively cheap way to help do that. I’ll update this page with breaking developments.
