At the edge of the universe … At the brink of destruction … somebody has to handle waste removal.
Paramount+ today revealed the official trailer for Season 4 of its original animated comedy series Star Trek: Lower Decks during the Star Trek universe presentation at San Diego Comic-Con. It was also announced at the panel that the new season will premiere with two episodes on Thursday, September 7, exclusively on Paramount+ in the U.S. and the service’s international markets . New S4 teaser art was revealed as well, the design an homage to Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.
Synopsis: In Season 4 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.
The “lower decks” Starfleet crew is voiced by Tawny Newsome as Mariner, Jack Quaid as Boimler, Noël Wells as Tendi and Eugene Cordero as Rutherford. The Cerritos bridge crew includes Dawnn Lewis as Captain Carol Freeman, Jerry O’Connell as Commander Jack Ransom, Fred Tatasciore as Lieutenant Shax and Gillian Vigman as Doctor T’Ana.

Secret Hideout’s Alex Kurtzman, Roddenberry Entertainment’s Rod Roddenberry and Trevor Roth and Katie Krentz (219 Productions) serve as executive producers alongside McMahan. Aaron Baiers (Secret Hideout), who brought McMahan to the project, also serves as an executive producer.
