We knew it was coming, but we still didn’t want to admit it—it’s nearly time to say goodbye to Star Trek: Lower Decks. After four great seasons, the series is coming to an end with one final set of adventures, and at least our first look seems to hint that Lower Decks is going out much as it’s carried on: with a whole lot of laughs, and a whole lot of Trek love.
At today’s Star Trek San Diego Comic-Con panel, Paramount revealed the very first trailer for the fifth and final season of Lower Decks. In true Lower Decks style, season four ended with a bit of a status quo shuffle for our still-freshly promoted heroes. Having spent much of the season no longer as ensigns on the lowest rungs of command, Boimler, Mariner, Rutherford, and their new Vulcan friend T’Lyn were recognized as the Trek heroes they’ve always wanted to be for saving Starfleet from Nick Locarno’s revolution with the rest of the Cerritos crew. But there was a price to pay for their heroics, with Tendi trading her place in Starfleet to return to Orion and rule her family’s crime syndicate in exchange for her sister’s aid during the finale.
Just how long will our heroes be separated? Take a look in the new trailer below!
Nostalgic opening aside, there’s a lot of fun things going on here–we get to see glimpses of both Tendi’s new life as an Orion pirate and a seeming return to her home on the Cerritos, but there’s also a chance encounter with an alternate Cerritos (captained by Mariner herself!), an exploration of a newly-post-scarcity society, Klingon hijinks, and yes, even one last chance for Ransom to lube his abs up. Suffice to say, it looks like Lower Decks is going out as it’s always gone anyway: with a lot of goofy fun.
Star Trek: Lower Decks returns to Paramount+ for one last time October 24.
