It’s good news and bad news for Trekkies. Paramount+ confirmed Star Trek: Strange New Worlds has been renewed for a fourth season. However, the streaming service also confirmed the upcoming fifth season of Star Trek: Lower Decks will be the animated series’ final season.

“We remain hopeful that even beyond Season 5, Mariner, Boimler, Tendi, Rutherford and the whole Cerritos crew will live on with new adventures,” executive producer Alex Kurtzman and showrunner Mike McMahon said in a statement. “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.”

As the great Billy Joel once said, "Life is a series of hellos and goodbyes; I'm afraid it's time for goodbye." That quote takes on an extra layer of meaning with today's double-pronged news regarding the future of "Star Trek." On the big screen, we recently found out that all systems are go for the new movie described to be a prequel to the Kelvin Universe films. But for those who've been enjoying the franchise renaissance on television, well, there's some good news and bad news to report.
We'll start with the good news. Variety has the scoop on a season 4 renewal for "Strange New Worlds," the spin-off from "Star Trek: Discovery" that also serves as a prequel to "The Original Series." The popular and high-quality show is currently in production on its third season, as last teased by director and franchise icon Jonathan Frakes.

Paramount+ has made two big decisions about its Star Trek universe.
Strange New Worlds has been renewed for a fourth season, while Lower Decks will end with its previously announced upcoming fifth season, expected to air sometime this year.
Lower Decks creator Mike McMahan and executive producer Alex Kurtzman posted a statement on the Star Trek website about the decision to conclude the animated series: “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. 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.

“Star Trek: Strange New Worlds,” currently in production on its third season, has been renewed by Paramount+ for Season 4. Meanwhile, “Star Trek: Lower Decks,” the first animated “Star Trek” comedy, will conclude its run on the streamer with its fifth season, which will debut in the fall.
“Strange New Worlds” — set in the years when Capt. Christopher Pike (Anson Mount) commanded the USS Enterprise, and featuring younger versions of several legacy characters, including Spock (Ethan Peck), Uhura (Celia Rose Gooding) and Kirk (Paul Wesley) — has been a fan favorite since it premiered on Paramount+ in 2022. Season 2 of the series, which included a musical episode and a crossover episode with “Lower Decks,” made Nielsen’s chart of the 10 most-watched streaming original series over multiple weeks.

Tawny Newsome‘s Beckett Mariner had quite the summer in the Star Trek Universe on Paramount+. She ended up going through a portal for the live-action crossover with Strange New Worlds, following Jack Quaid‘s Brad Boimler. And back on Lower Decks, Mariner was promoted, tried her hardest to fight it, and ended up in the middle of a major conflict in the Season 4 finale that she wasn’t even looking to be part of! Below, Newsome reflects on those recent events for her character and teases what’s ahead in Lower Decks Season 5. The Lower Decks Season 4 finale ended up being quite the emotional roller coaster for Mariner — everything vs. Nick (Robert Duncan McNeill), the escape, reuniting with everyone and celebrating that, then Tendi (Noël Wells) leaving. How was Mariner feeling at the end there? Tawny Newsome: She kind of has a chipper outlook. She’s definitely of the...

Spoilers follow.
In the latest episode of "Star Trek: Lower Decks," called "Caves," Lieutenants Mariner (Tawny Newsome), Rutherford (Eugene Cordero), Tendi (Noël Wells), and Boimler (Jack Quaid) are assigned one of the most tedious of Starfleet missions: scanning the interior of a cave. Each of them notes that they have all gone on cave missions in the past, and that caves all kind of look the same. These comments are, of course, a clever Trekkie in-joke, calling to attention how often "Star Trek" would save money by filming in Paramount's cheap-looking cave set. As both the characters and the audience predict, there is a cave-in. The characters cannot communicate with their ship and have to survive in an enclosed space ... with what turns out to be flesh-eating moss.
While trapped, the quartet while away the hours recounting their old cave missions. Their stories, it comes out, all took place...

The second-season "Star Trek: Lower Decks" episode "wej Duj" had a high concept. Rather than merely follow the usual lower-ranking officers on board the U.S.S. Cerritos, it split its time three ways, looking at ensigns on the Cerritos, on the Klingon ship the Iks Che'Ta', and on the Vulcan ship, the Sh'val. The Vulcan ensign (or the Vulcan military's equivalent) was T'Lyn (Gabrielle Ruiz), an officer considered by her superiors to be feisty and emotional. The joke of "wej Duj," of course, is that T'Lyn is just as stone-faced and stoic as her Vulcan counterparts, she merely reacts to crises using instinct sometimes, rather than logic all of the time.
Fast-forward to the current fourth season of "Lower Decks," and T'Lyn is now serving on board the Cerritos as a provisional officer. She now spends most of her time with Lieutenants Marianer (Tawny Newsome), Boimler (Jack Quaid), Rutherford...

Throughout the series and especially in the fourth season, certain recurring antagonists have been carefully established and subsequently defeated, though with a few doors left open to potentially set up their ability to inflict maximum damage down the line. Well, that time has finally come as of episode 7, titled "A Few Badgeys More," but nothing quite unfolds the way viewers may have expected.

At the beginning of the latest episode of "Star Trek: Lower Decks," called "A Few Badgeys More," Lieutenants Rutherford (Eugene Cordero), Boimler (Jack Quaid), Tendi (Noël Wells), and Mariner (Tawny Newsome) are tinkering with the Sequoia, the disused shuttlecraft they hang out next to and occasionally tinker with in their spare time. This week, Rutherford is trying to install a high-powered grappling hook on the shuttle's front bumper. He aims to grab an apple out of Boimler's sweaty palm. Sadly, as it is homemade, the grappler is not entirely accurate and pins Tendi to the wall instead. Just as Rutherford begins to question the need for a grappler at all, Mariner and Boimler run to its defense, saying that grapplers are cool.

The latest episode of "Star Trek: Lower Decks" is set on the Ferengi homeworld of Ferenginar, a planet that has long been ruled by an aggressive capitalist philosophy. Everything in Ferengi society revolves around profit and acquisition, and money forms the basis of every one of their major beliefs. In the Ferengi afterlife, one enters Heaven by paying the exorbitant entrance fee. The holiest Ferengi book is a list of 285 money-related aphorisms called The Rules of Acquisition. All of Ferenginar's financial interests are overseen by a Pope-like figure called the Grand Nagus. In the final episodes of "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine," the largely underestimated and surprisingly compassionate Rom (Max Grodénchik) became the Grand Nagus, ushering in a new era. Rom gave rights to workers, previously forbidden in Ferengi society.

Over the course of four seasons, “Star Trek” animated series “Lower Decks” has seen its crew of lowly officers take on the worst jobs in all of Starfleet, the type of menial work that only those at the very bottom of the chain of command are asked to do. But in the show’s upcoming episode, the core four characters get an assignment that promises much nicer pleasures: a glorified bar crawl.
“Parth Ferengi’s Heart Place,” the sixth episode of “Lower Decks” ongoing fourth season, sees junior lieutenant’s Mariner (Tawny Newsome), Boimler (Jack Quaid), Rutherford (Eugene Cordero), and Tendi (Noël Wells) assigned to Starfleet’s “Travel Guide Duty.” In a clip exclusively shared with IndieWire from the episode, directed by Brandon Williams with a script by Cullen Crawford, their superior first officer Jack Ransom (voiced by Jerry O’Connell) explains that the job, one of Starfleet’s most coveted,...

At the beginning of the fourth season of "Star Trek: Lower Decks," Ensigns Mariner (Tawny Newsome), Boimler (Jack Quaid), Tendi (Noël Wells), and Rutherford (Eugene Cordero) were all promoted to Lieutenant, Junior Grade. This meant that each of them now had the ability to give orders to the remaining ensigns on the U.S.S. Cerritos and were afforded the privilege of private quarters. As ensigns, they had to sleep on bunks in a hallway and keep all their personal belongings inside tiny, drawer-like dressers embedded in the wall. There was no privacy. For the first time in their professional Starfleet careers, the four lead characters would be able to close a door behind them at the end of their shift.
But, in keeping with the spirit of the show, this isn't necessarily a net positive. In the episode "I Have No Bones, Yet I Must Flee," Boimler finds that...

Warning: This article contains spoilers and reckless, downright irresponsible speculation about the latest episode of "Star Trek: Lower Decks."
There's a serial killer -- in a manner of speaking -- on the loose in "Star Trek: Lower Decks." Ever since the concluding moments of the season 4 premiere, almost every episode has included a brief prologue centered on the lower decks crew of some doomed alien spaceship in the moments before encountering the same, mysterious object with a nasty attitude. The pattern has remained the same in each and every encounter: Upon confronting the strange vessel, each victimized ship has had to helplessly watch as the strange enemy fires up its weapons, inexplicably drains power from its intended target, and subsequently blasts them into pieces with shocking ease. So far, the kill list has included several classic "Trek" species like Klingons, Romulans, and now Orions, with no end in sight.

"Star Trek: Lower Decks" season 4, episode 4, titled "Something Borrowed, Something Green," takes place largely on the Orion homeworld, the place where Lieutenant D'Vana Tendi (Noël Wells) hails from. She is there to attend the wedding of her sister D'Erica but also to face the familial legacy she deliberately left behind when she joined Starfleet. The episode features a lot of lingering sororal resentment and multiple mysterious, violent, sexy figures from Tendi's past.
More important to Trekkies, however, are the numerous details about Orion life. "Something Borrowed" is the first time we've really had a good look at the Orions and what they're like in their element.
Orions, of course, first appeared on "Star Trek" as early as the "Original Series" pilot, "The Cage," when Captain Pike (Jeffrey Hunter) was seduced by a green-skinned woman at a Roman-style orgy.

This article contains spoilers for one of the most hilarious gags from the latest episode of "Star Trek: Lower Decks."
If it wasn't apparent before, it simply has to be considered official now: There isn't a single aspect of classic "Star Trek" lore that can be considered too precious or too sacred for "Lower Decks" to take a loving swipe at. The third episode of season 4, titled "In the Cradle of Vexilon," takes this to another level with one of its patented, rapid-fire jokes that packs so much "Trek" history into the briefest and most potent of punchlines. In this case, the writers of "Lower Decks" took that even more literally by overtly referencing a beloved episode from "The Next Generation" that spanned decades of Jean-Luc Picard's (Patrick Stewart) life in the blink of an eye.
Titled "The Inner Light," this all-time classic sci-fi story told a standalone tale that...

The koala is something of a running gag on "Lower Decks," going back to the first season episode "Moist Vessel". In that episode, an officer named Lieutenant O'Connor (Haley Joel Osment) invites Ensign Tendi (Noël Wells) to witness the end of a years-long spiritual journey and see him ascend into a higher being. Sadly, Tendi drops O'Connor's ritual gong during his crucial, final ritual and ruins his mandala to catch it. His ascension is stymied. Tendi will spend the bulk of the episode attempting to get back into O'Connor's good graces, something that annoys him immensely. He wanted to be seen as the only "spirituality guy" on the ship, and now that status is ruined.

He wanted to be seen as the only "spirituality guy" on the ship, and now that status is ruined.
Later on in the episode, however, O'Connor does end up ascending in the middle of a crisis and somewhat by accident. In a corridor,...

Given how often it happens, the makers of "Star Trek: Lower Decks" and "Star Trek: Picard" appear to abide by a strict mandate that every episode includes a certain number of references to older "Star Trek" shows. Several times, when said shows seem to be falling behind this presumed quota, the showrunners will include a scene in a literal warehouse that is stacked with objects, corpses, or other tchotchkes from throughout "Trek" history. This happened in the "Lower Decks" season 2 episode "Kayshon, His Eyes Open," which featured a menagerie of stuffed creatures and skeletal remains of various "Star Trek" characters, all just hanging out in the background. Fans may remember the enormous desiccated skeleton of Spock 2 as he appeared in the "Star Trek: The Animated Series" episode "The Infinite Vulcan," as well as a Gorn skeleton, the skeleton of Abraham Lincoln (perhaps rescued from the events of "The Savage Curtain"), a taxidermied M-113 creature,...

In the latest episode of "Star Trek: Lower Decks," called "In the Cradle of Vexilon," Lieutenants Tendi (Noël Wells), Rutherford (Eugene Cordero), and Mariner (Tawny Newsome) are assigned a maddeningly difficult and menial task by their superior officer, a man they only refer to as Dirk. They are required to comb through hundreds and hundreds of isolinear computer chips, looking for the one that has an error. The room they're in fills with toxic gasses every few minutes, and the temperatures get unbearably hot. After a few hours on the job, the three lieutenants begin to surmise that their job isn't strictly necessary and that Dirk is secretly putting them through some sort of hazing ritual.
They instantly think of their revenge: Make Dirk play Chula.
Earlier in the episode, the trio entered a storage warehouse on the USS Cerritos and found it stocked with items and widgets seen in previous "Star Trek" episodes.

This post contains spoilers for the premiere of "Star Trek: Lower Decks" season 4.
At the beginning of the fourth season of "Star Trek: Lower Decks," the four main characters Boimler (Jack Quaid), Mariner (Tawny Newsome), Tendi (Noël Wells), and Rutherford (Eugene Cordero) are each promoted from the lowly rank of ensign to the only slightly-less-lowly rank of lieutenant junior grade. They still don't have much clout on the U.S.S. Cerritos, but at least now they no longer have to sleep in a hallway. One can see their promotions right away as, on their collars, they wear one solid pip and one empty pip. That, any Trekkie will instantly tell you, is the configuration for a lieutenant junior grade.
It should be noted that "Star Trek" has, since its inception, used extant naval ranks to designate Starfleet officers. Just like in the real United States Navy, officers start at the rank of ensign,...

It’s all about beginnings and endings in the Season 2 finale of “Minx.” The 1970s-set comedy from Ellen Rapoport starring Ophelia Lovibond as the idealistic editor of a popular women’s magazine ends its triumphant sophomore outing with an episode that attempts to reset the status quo.
After a season that saw the titular magazine become an international sensation at the cost of its employees’ happiness, the finale (now streaming on Starz) sees Joyce (Lovibond), who spent most of the eight-episode season buying into her own manufactured hype, finally take action against the demanding and opinionated Constance (Emmy nominee Elizabeth Perkins), the wealthy widow who came on board to finance the magazine. Unfortunately for Joyce and the rest of the staff, Constance has also made Doug (fan favorite Jake Johnson) an offer he can’t refuse, sparking interpersonal drama and setting the show up for a dramatic third season (should...

When Star Trek: Lower Decks premiered in the summer of 2020 — so long ago that its streaming home at the time was called CBS All Access, rather than Paramount+ — it seemed caught between two potentially incompatible goals. On the one hand, the animated series, run by Mike McMahan, wanted to satirize all of the most ridiculous ideas the Star Trek franchise had introduced since the mid-20th century. And on the other, it wanted to tell genuine, thrilling Star Trek stories, set a decade or so after the events of the various Nineties spinoffs.

"Star Trek" sure knows how to celebrate in style. Star Trek Day usually tends to be a huge deal, but this year has all the makings of a can't-miss event for Trekkies both old and new.

Photo Credit: Paramount+ Created by Emmy Award winner Mike McMahan, in season four of Star Trek: Lower Decks, an unknown force is destroying starships and threatening galactic peace. Luckily, the crew of the U.S.S. Cerritos isn’t important enough for stuff like that! Instead, Ensigns Mariner, Boimler, Tendi, Rutherford and Provisional Ensign T’Lyn are keeping up with their Starfleet duties, avoiding malevolent computers and getting stuck in a couple caves – all while encountering new and classic aliens along the way.

There is a scene in the first episode of the fourth season of "Star Trek: Lower Decks" -- called "Twovix" -- wherein the crew of the U.S.S. Cerritos has to transport the now-decommissioned U.S.S. Voyager to a museum site. The ship, it seems, has been transformed into a museum, complete with bizarre on-board exhibits, including one devoted to the time Tom Paris (Robert Duncan McNeill) and Captain Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) surpassed Warp 10 and evolved into salamanders. On the bridge of the Voyager, there are mannequins of the ship's original crew, each wearing their actual duty uniforms.
Ensign Boimler (Jack Quaid), while setting up the diorama, nearly drops a mannequin of Harry Kim (Garrett Wang), the Voyager character who notoriously stayed an ensign for seven straight years without a promotion. On a show where Boimler geeks out about legendary "Star Trek" characters, it's notable that he says nothing of Harry Kim.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ second season has been an ambitious, wildly entertaining ride so far, and this week’s crossover with the animated series Lower Decks proved it’s one of the best shows out there right now.
The hour, titled “Those Old Scientists,” kicked off with the animated Cerritos crew from Lower Decks checking up on a random portal believed to be inactive. But when Boimler took a photo on the famous artifact — discovered by Pike’s Enterprise crew more than a century ago — he found himself transported to the past and surrounded by his heroes, including Una Chin-Riley.

Ever since the announcement of the second season of "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds," Trekkies have been anticipating this episode. "Those Old Scientists" will see Ensign Boimler (Jack Quaid) and Ensign Mariner (Tawney Newsome) from "Star Trek: Lower Decks" pass into the world of "Strange New Worlds," and interact directly with Captain Pike (Anson Mount), Spock (Ethan Peck) and all the rest. The shows are set about 120 years apart, however, so the characters will have to make use of an ancient, mystical time-travel portal in order to meet, but that's no big deal; "Star Trek" has featured multiple mystical time-travel portals in the past. At the head of the episode, the "Lower Decks" characters will be animated. Once they pass through said portal, they will appear in live action. The two featured voice actors will reprise their roles.
