Season four of the highly anticipated Star Trek: Lower Decks is all set to hit Paramount+ on Thursday, September 7, 2023. The show explores the lives of several crew members on Starfleet's least important ship, the USS Cerritos. Viewers can expect the following, as per the brief synopsis shared by Rotten Tomatoes:
"Star Trek: Lower Decks" focuses on the support crew serving on one of Starfleet's least important ships, the USS Cerritos, in 2380. Ensigns Mariner, Boimler, Rutherford and Tendi must keep up with their duties and their social lives, often while the ship is being rocked by a multitude of sci-fi anomalies.''
The description further reads,
''The ship's bridge crew includes Captain Carol Freeman, Commander Jack Ransom, Lieutenant Shaxs and Doctor T'Ana. This is the second animated spin-off in the franchise after 1973-74's "Star Trek: The Animated Series," but has a decidedly more adult tone and humor.''
Star Trek: Lower Decks has received critical acclaim for its writing, direction, and characterization, among other things. A fifth season has already been renewed earlier this year, in March.
