At San Diego Comic - Con ’s Star Trek Universe Hall H panel , whenever Mike McMahan spoke aboutStar Trek : Lower Decksending , he repeated something that made my ears pick up up . Mike always saidStar Trek : Lower Decksseason is the"final season on Paramount+.“To me , add that qualifier at the final stage seems to be a very specific choice by a gifted writer known for his witty counter . Here is a quote from Mike McMahan at Comic - Con aboutStar Trek : Lower Decksending with time of year 5 :
This is our terminal season on Paramount+ . [ Crowd hoot ] No no no ! We ’re not hypothesise to make the crowd boo . But because we cognize it , this time of year is a celebration of all thing Lower Decks and all things Star Trek , so we love it … You ’re get a closedown that feel like the end of a chapter , but you ’re not getting a closing on the Cerritos or these characters .
While answer a fan question later in the panel , Mike McMahan again repeated thatStar Trek : Lower Decksseason 5 is the final season on Paramount+.To me , Mike is implying - or trying to set in gesture - a future forStar Trek : Lower Decksafter it ends on Paramount+ . It ’s clear to me that MIke McMahan and everyone behind the scenes atStar Trek : Lower pack of cards , as well as the voice cast led byTawny Newsome and Jack Quaid , would be thrilled to proceed playing their USS Cerritos junior Lieutenants for years to fare . And McMahan could n’t be more exonerated he considersStar Trek : Lower Decksseason 5 to be simply the end of a chapter .
