The Star Trek broadcast timeline; when is every upcoming Star Trek show and film coming out
By Chad Porto
Despite Star Trek closing the doors on Picard, Discovery, and Lower Decks over the last 12 months, the franchise is not slowing down the production of content by any means. All that seems to be changing is the type of content. Fewer shows and more films are expected to be made going forward. it's a move that I think will serve everyone well. Yet, when are these shows and films coming out, and where can you watch them? Let's find out.
Star Trek: Lower Decks (The Final Season) - Fall 2024
Right now, as of the end of May 2024, we don't know when Star Trek: Lower Decks is exactly coming out. We do know that they're coming out sometime this coming fall. That could mean anywhere from September to November. It'll likely come out sometime around late September if I were to guess. That would align well with families returning from vacations, kids going back to school and a general slowing down of the activities people engage in this time of year.
This also marks the end of the series as we know it. The folks at Paramount+ have opted to cancel the show, bringing a close to the series after five seasons. It's marked as one of the more off-the-wall comedies in recent times, and while a bulk of the fandom never truly embraced it (hence the cancelation) it did find enough of an audience to get five seasons at least.
The show peaked with the Star Trek: Strange New Worlds crossover episode, and while we're unlikely to get a sequel now that the show is done, fans will at least have that highlight to remember. The final season of Star Trek: Lower Decks will air on Paramount+ and bring an end to the third series of the Nu Trek era.
