Lower decks live action series? Pretty please?
The world couldn’t handle a full 7 seasons of LD
Boo!
@billmason @startrek nooooooooooooooooooo
Oh no.
Edit: In case I’m coming across sarcastic, I’m not. I loved LD probably the most of the new batch of Star Trek shows. It was just a joy to watch.
Meanwhile, the adventures continue for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, which has been renewed for season 4.
At least there’s that.
It’s still surprising that Lower Decks ends so soon. It’s well received and should be reasonably cheap to produce. Why would they axe it?
Awww i love lower decks!
Dammit. This will leave SNW as the only Trek series? I like SNW a lot but two series would be nice given how short seasons are nowadays.
Prodigy soldiers on for now, and Starfleet Academy is in pre-production, set to start filming this summer.
Paramount doesn’t even want Prodigy on their own streaming service, I have no idea what they’re doing with the franchise…
Apparently, the numbers on P+ weren’t good - the Hagemans themselves have said so.
To be honest, if Paramount slowly decides that they’re better off selling their shows to other streamers… I’m not totally against it, depending on how it’s done.
That’s sad. While I didn’t enjoy every aspect of it, I quite enjoyed it overall. I’m happy to hear season 3 isn’t supposed to be the last for SNW though.
Replaced with Star Trek Upper Decks?
Could you imagine if that is the long con here? I’d love that.
Yeah, they’re technically not even lower decks anymore since season 4.
As disappointing as it is to see it end, 5 seasons is a decent run, and I’d rather it end before they “jump the shark” or just fizzle out.
Agreed, even as a huge fan of LD I could personally sense it being more difficult to write more stories for our lowly stalwarts of Starfleet in season 4. Better to be able to end still chanting “Lower Decks! Lower Decks! Lower Decks!”
Lower Decks is the kind of show that needs to cut to black for the last time right as cool Boimler on water skis is approaching a shark.
I enthusiastically disagree. Lower Decks needs to boldly go and jump the shark more than traveling back in time to save a whale or talking to an old microwave that became a god.
I don’t know. We only got like 10 x 25 minutes episodes per season. That’s not a lot of content.
I really enjoyed the live action cameos the two cast members did on SNW. Hopefully there will be more Trek work for them.
@billmason @startrek @reddig33 buy and hold onto your blu rays.
@billmason @startrek Such a shame. ☹️
[Boimler scream]
Well looks like I’ll be filling unemployment 🖖 🤣
