New episodes of the 10 episode first season will arrive on Thursdays.
The season one voice cast includes Tawny Newsome (“Ensign Beckett Mariner”), Jack Quaid (“Ensign Brad Boimler”), Noël Wells (“Ensign Tendi”), and Eugene Cordero (“Ensign Rutherford”). Dawnn Lewis (“Captain Carol Freeman”), Jerry O’Connell (“Commander Jack Ransom”), Fred Tatasciore (“Lieutenant Shaxs”), and Gillian Vigman (“Doctor T’Ana”) also lend their voices to the first Star Trek animated series.

The Plot:
“Star Trek: Lower Decks focuses on the support crew serving on one of Starfleet’s least important ships, the U.S.S. Cerritos, in 2380. Ensigns Mariner, Boimler, Rutherford, and Tendi have to keep up with their duties and their social lives, often while the ship is being rocked by a multitude of sci-fi anomalies.”
