Star Trek: Lower Decks to End With Season 5 on Paramount+
Star Trek: Lower Decks will boldly go… where many shows have gone before it. The Paramount+ series will conclude with its previously announced fifth season, TVLine has learned. The final season is expected to be released sometime this fall, though an exact date remains TBD.
“While five seasons of any series these days seems like a miracle, it’s no exaggeration to say that every second we’ve spent making this show has been a dream come true,” executive producers Mike McMahan and Alex Kurtzman said in a statement. “Our incredible cast, crew and artists have given you everything they have because they love the characters they play, they love the world we’ve built, and more than anything we all love love love Star Trek. We’re excited for the world to see our hilarious fifth season which we’re working on right now, and the good news is that all previous episodes will remain on Paramount+ so there is still so much to look forward to as we celebrate the Cerritos crew with a big send-off.”

Their statement continues: “Finally, thank you for always being so creative and joyful, for filling convention halls and chanting ‘LOWER DECKS!’ We remain hopeful that even beyond season five, Mariner, Boimler, Tendi, Rutherford and the whole Cerritos crew will live on with new adventures.”
“It has been incredibly rewarding to continue to build the Star Trek universe, and we’re so grateful to Secret Hideout and our immensely talented casts and producers,” adds Jeff Grossman, Paramount+’s Executive Vice President of Programming. “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds has found the perfect blend of action, adventure and humor, and we’re elated to announce another season ahead of our season three premiere. Similarly, Star Trek: Lower Decks has brought the laughs with an ample amount of heart to the franchise across its four seasons. We can’t wait for audiences to see what is in store for the crew of the U.S.S. Cerritos in this final season.”
Star Trek: Lower Decks follows the support crew serving on “one of Starfleet’s least important ships.” The animated series boasts a voice cast that includes Tawny Newsome, Jack Quaid, No?l Wells, Eugene Cordero, Dawnn Lewis, Jerry O’Connell, Fred Tatasciore and Gillian Vigman.
News of Lower Decks‘ final season comes on the heels of Paramount+ announcing a fourth-season renewal for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.
