Star Trek: Lower Decks (Animated comedy series)


The latest addition to the Star Trek franchise is an unexpected cartoon comedy.  Star Trek: Lower Decks will be launching in the USA on August 6th on CBS All Access. There are 10 episodes set on what is described as "the least important ship in Starfleet" the U.S.S. Cerritos.

This series was developed by Mike McMahan (Rick and Morty) and sees the adventures of Ensigns Mariner, Boimler, Rutherford and Tendi trying to keep up with all that happens as the ship encounters bad-arsed aliens and space anomalies whilst carrying out their duties. 

We also get to meet a whole new bridge crew led by Captain Carol Freeman but this show is all about the misadventures of the crew on the lower decks. The ones in red shirts....

There are at present no dates for the show to be broadcast in the UK but I'm sure someone will pick up the show in due course.
