Star Trek: Lower Decks season 5 will be its final season on Paramount+, but it still doesn’t make sense why. Created by Mike McMahan, Star Trek: Lower Decks premiered in 2020 as the first animated Star Trek half-hour comedy. Lower Decks borrows its title and inspiration from the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode of the same name. Star Trek: Lower Decks was originally about the hardworking and unsung Ensigns of the USS Cerritos, although they rose up the ranks and became junior grade Lieutenants at the start of Star Trek: Lower Decks season 4.
