Warning!
This page contains information regarding Star Trek: Lower Decks, and thus may contain spoilers.
Memory Alpha contains spoilers to released material only. No information about this series can be added until CBS or an identified source discusses information with a press outlet, such as a news service. Because Memory Alpha does not want to include unconfirmed data, please use the talk page to suggest or explain additions to this article only if it has a citation that could be referenced here.

Lower Decks redirects here; for the TNG episode of the same name, please see "Lower Decks".
LDS redirects here; for the drug Kirk mistakenly referred to with those initials, please see LSD.

Star Trek: Lower Decks is the ninth main series set in the Star Trek universe, the tenth including the companion series Star Trek: Short Treks, and the twelfth Star Trek series overall. It is the second series to be entirely animated, after Star Trek: The Animated Series, with episodes running half an hour, and the third series to have animated episodes, after Short Treks. Lower Decks is the first original animated series commissioned by CBS All Access, as well as the first produced by the new CBS animation arm, CBS Eye Animation Productions, and was announced in October 2018, with All Access committing to a two-season order. [1]

Created by Mike McMahan, the series is an adult animation comedy produced in association with Titmouse, Inc. and forms part of Alex Kurtzman's five-year deal with CBS to expand the Star Trek franchise. Lower Decks focuses on "the support crew serving on one of Starfleet's least important ships." Star Trek: Lower Decks at StarTrek.com

The show takes place aboard the California-class USS Cerritos on the "lower decks". [2] The show's time period is described as the Star Trek: The Next Generation-era, more specifically 2380, after Star Trek Nemesis. [3][4]

A full-length trailer was released on 12 July 2020. Star Trek: Lower Decks at StarTrek.com

The first season was nominated for the NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Animated Series. [5]

↑ John Van Citters has chosen "LDS" as the series' official abbreviation, while also alluding to it being a reference to Kirk's line about LSD in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. [6] This is consistent with the three letter abbreviations for other series, though no "official" abbreviations have been given for Star Trek: Short Treks, After Trek, or The Ready Room. MA will use the abbreviation "LD" for Lower Decks to remain consistent with using the first letter in titles with more than one word after Star Trek.
