Lower Decks' final season is here, and signifies a sweet addition to the 2024 TV schedule. While it's great that creator Mike McMahan promised a satisfying conclusion for the series, there's still optimism in regard to the show receiving a second life in some way.

When I spoke to McMahan recently, he explained that his goal for this final season was to wrap up the “Lower Decks era” of Mariner, Boimler, Rutherford, and Tendi’s lives, but not their overall stories.

Fans are eager to know the release date and time of the highly anticipated Star Trek: Lower Decks Season 5. Created by Mike McMahan, Lower Decks is the ninth series in the universally beloved Star Trek franchise.
