Star Trek: Lower Decks Season 3 Key Art: Time to Get

With only four days to go until series creator & executive producer Mike McMahan and Paramount+’s Tawny Newsome & Jack Quaid-starring Star Trek: Lower Decks, we’ve got some new key art to pass along that finds more than a few familiar faces getting ready to head back to the U.S.S Cerritos. Well, maybe it’s more like a few familiar backs are heading back to the ship, but that feels like a slippery slope to one of those “Who’s on First?” moments we’re not sure we could process right now. So instead, enjoy the key art we have to share below (followed by a look back at what’s been shared so far)”

And here’s a look at four preview images from the season’s first two episodes, S03E01 “Grounded” and S03E02 “The Least Dangerous Game”:

Now here’s a look back to this summer’s SDCC, when Newsome & Quid crashed Star Trek: Strange New Worlds panel to formally announce that the two series would be crossing over during SNW Season 2:

Now here’s a look at the official trailer, with Star Trek: Lower Decks set to hit Paramount+ this Thursday, August 25th:

And here’s a look back at The Ready Room, with the Star Trek: Lower Decks Season 3 preview kicking in at around the 30:20 timer mark. In the following clip, Mariner tracks down Boimler to convince him to return and help her. But to her surprise, it doesn’t take much convincing. Why? One word… raisins.

Developed by Emmy Award-winner Mike McMahan (“Rick and Morty,” “Solar Opposites”), STAR TREK: LOWER DECKS, an original animated comedy series, 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. Season two will follow the adventures of our favorite Starfleet support crew in the U.S.S. Cerritos as they deal with changes in group dynamics, chasing promotions, and tons of sci-fi missions.

Produced by CBS’ Eye Animation Productions, Secret Hideout & Roddenberry Entertainment, and developed/created by McMahan, the animated series is executive produced by McMahan, Alex Kurtzman (Secret Hideout), Heather Kadin (Secret Hideout), Rod Roddenberry (Roddenberry Entertainment), Trevor Roth (Roddenberry Entertainment), Katie Krentz (219 Productions), and Aaron Baiers (Secret Hideout).
