The final season of Star Trek: Lower Decks arrives on @paramountplus this fall.

Sad face

But to be honest, better it finish and be strong throughout than end up a tired and endlessly rehashed mess like Futurama, Family Guy and Simpsons.

 

[Airmandan]

That is some bullshit.

The streaming bubble is definitely bursting. But we got five pretty solid seasons! This next year is going to be a year of uncertainty when it comes to Trek it seems with several projects "in the works."

 

[Ray Hardgrit]

This is terrible news. The series was a long long way from being past its prime and I was looking forward to it being the first series of this era to make it to 7 seasons. And then a movie.

 

[Amasov]

Given that season 5 is also the final season for Discovery; safe assumption that Strange New Worlds will end after five seasons?

 

[David cgc]

I wanted to see what they'd do for the season 14 poster once they ran out of movies. Oh, well.

Five seems to be the new seven. Which ain't bad these days.

I'd agree with that if we were getting more than a paltry 10 episodes a season.

I'm actually bummed about this. Animation is rife with possibilities, and to end it now just seems so soon. Also, Lower Decks has become my favorite of the new Treks, so I'm sad to see it concluding. I'm glad SNW is going to continue though, but man that's a bummer about Lower Decks.

 

[HotRod]

Dollars to donuts there will be a Lower Decks streaming film.

 

[Campe]

Well… shit.

Dollars to donuts there will be a Lower Decks streaming film.

I hope so. If Star Trek is going the way of Streaming Movies, I don't think a Lower Decks movie would be that costly to make.

I think 10 is the perfect number.. 20 is too much.

 

[Bad Thoughts]

I think 10 is the perfect number.. 20 is too much.

TNG, DS9, and VOY all produced more episodes in seven years that are good or better than what any of the current series' episodes.

 

[Ray Hardgrit]

I would've preferred them to pull a Batman: The Animated Series and give us 65-episode seasons.

 

[Vyse]

Really sad and disappointing.

Not shocked given the state of streaming and Paramount itself.

Hard disagree with TNG and VOY.

For short seasons 12 is proven sweet spot.

For long seasons 20-26 is the proven sweet spot.
