Star Trek: Lower Decks season 3: Everything you need to know – Pocket-lint

(Pocket-lint) - The awesome Star Trek: Lower Decks is returning for a third season, but it's also moving to Paramount+.

There's been plenty of Star Trek fixes for Trekkies of late, including Star Trek: Picard, Strange New Worlds and Discovery. But Lower Decks has always been a little bit different, with tongue-in-cheek humour and plenty of amusing antics of the less important members of the USS Cerritos crew.

If you've been following the first couple of seasons of Lower Decks on Disney+ then you probably want to keep watching. If so you'll have to head over to Paramount+ instead.

If you've been waiting with bated breath for the next outing of Lower Decks then good news. There's not long left to wait. Season 3 will start on 25 August 2022.

The third season promises 10 episodes to soak in, releasing one episode per week, every Thursday.

Paramount+ has promised a "shocking resolution" after the cliffhanger of the last season and we'd imagine there will be plenty of the usual hijinx as well.

The trailer also shows the appearance of Deep Space Nine, so that should have some interesting implications.

Lower Decks showrunner Mike McMahan will follow Captain Freeman's trial for allegedly destroying the Pakled homeworld as well as featuring a new relationship between Beckett Mariner and Jennifer Sh'reyan. Though a large part of the story will also focus on her relationship with her mother, Captain Freeman.

As with a lot of other Star Trek shows, Lower Decks season 3 is moving to Paramount+. So you'll need access to that streaming service in order to watch the new season.
