Here’s everything you need to know about the release date and time of Star Trek: Lower Decks Season 5.
When does Star Trek: Lower Decks Season 5 come out on Paramount+?
Star Trek: Lower Decks Season 5 will premiere on Thursday, October 24, 2024, at 12:00 AM (PT) on Paramount Plus.
The fifth season will serve as the series finale. The first two episodes will be released together on October 24, with the remaining episodes arriving weekly on Thursdays. The season will consist of 10 episodes, with the final episode airing on December 19, 2024.
At the 2024 San Diego Comic-Con, the Star Trek universe panel gave fans a sneak peek at Season 5, revealing several stills from the upcoming episodes. Producers also confirmed that Lower Decks will conclude with this season, much to the disappointment of fans (via Deadline). On October 10, the official Star Trek YouTube channel released the Season 5 trailer, promising an epic final adventure featuring the underdog crew of the Cerritos.
The description under the trailer teases what’s in store for the final season. Junior officers Mariner, Boimler, Tendi, and Rutherford take on “space pothole duty,” closing subspace rifts to prevent chaos in the Alpha Quadrant.
In addition to this mission, the crew faces an Orion war, Klingons, and diplomatic crises. They must also handle personal conflicts and uncertain futures in Starfleet. The show features an outstanding voice cast, including Tawny Newsome, Jack Quaid, Noël Wells, Eugene Cordero, and many other talented actors.
