Star Trek: Lower Decks Season 5: Get Ready for the Final Countdown!

The beloved animated comedy, Star Trek: Lower Decks, is dropping its final season (season 5!) on Paramount+! It is a big ending after some truly funny adventures aboard the USS Cerritos. After Star Trek: Discovery’s final season and Star Trek: Prodigy’s second season (which moved to Netflix), Lower Decks closes out 2024’s new Star Trek offerings. This finale season includes familiar craziness – Orion wars, more Klingon encounters, the Enterprise decontamination chamber's return; along with that very unexpected return of Voyager's Harry Kim (Garrett Wang) – and a whole bunch of his clones! The best thing about it is Harry Kim gets that much-deserved promotion, too! Get ready for laughs, adventure, and that truly satisfying ending!

Mike McMahan and the cast had some very impressive showings during New York Comic Con and the Newport Beach Film Festival; all leading to this release. You don't want to miss out! Let's dive into those details regarding that exact release schedule!

Unfortunately, it is the final season. Paramount+ is streamlining its Star Trek content. 2025 brings Star Trek: Section 31 and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 3; with Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 4 and Star Trek: Starfleet Academy in 2026. It means less Star Trek (at least, currently). This begs the important question for audiences: Why end this brilliant, funny show?

Yet the ending for Lower Decks isn’t really guaranteed: fans hold immense power to determine the continuation and might still influence whether this brilliant show can be continued. Whether it could get another season (season 6) or even move into an animated movie or other medium isn't totally ruled out. A dedicated fan base pushing Lower Decks’ popularity could just make this possible! We could see it returning in future, maybe in unexpected ways, after all.

Conclusion: Make Sure to Tune Into Lower Decks' Amazing Finale

Star Trek: Lower Decks season 5 is an extremely important event – a grand finale that ends this highly regarded and extremely funny show and the amazing stories developed by that crew onboard the USS Cerritos. There's tons of fun stuff already planned; from hilarious adventures to those nostalgic returns of fan-favorite characters. Those creative team members had some seriously fun moments included; using a unique blend of classic Star Trek elements that were completely revamped in funny ways! But the possibility that the USS Cerritos’s story might end, begs fans to fully participate! This is why streaming on Paramount+ during that timeframe; combined with that widespread marketing to generate more viewers might create this surprising opportunity that may even result in unexpected revivals. So set your calendars, folks! This ending demands some effort from the audience – so tune in to show the network just how much people want a sequel!
