SEPTEMBER 6, 2023 - Star Trek fans have reason to rejoice as the much-anticipated Season 4 of Star Trek: Lower Decks is set to premiere this week, coinciding with the annual Star Trek Day celebration. As reported by CBR, Paramount has made the previous season available for streaming on various platforms in the United States.

Before diving into Season 4, it's a perfect time for fans to catch up on the antics of the Lower Decks crewmembers of the U.S.S. Cerritos. Paramount recently made all 10 episodes of Season 3 available for free streaming on YouTube, PlutoTV, and Prime Video in the United States. This provides a great opportunity for both new viewers and loyal fans to relive the adventures of Ensign Beckett Mariner, Ensign Brad Boimler, Ensign Tendi, Ensign Rutherford, and Provisional Ensign T'Lyn.

For many, the charm of Star Trek: Lower Decks lies in its endearing characters. The "lower decks" crewmembers of the U.S.S. Cerritos are brought to life by a talented cast. Tawny Newsome as Ensign Beckett Mariner, Jack Quaid as Ensign Brad Boimler, Noël Wells as Ensign Tendi, Eugene Cordero as Ensign Rutherford, and Gabrielle Ruiz as Provisional Ensign T'Lyn form the core ensemble. The bridge crew of the U.S.S. Cerritos includes Dawnn Lewis as Captain Carol Freeman, Jerry O'Connell as Commander Jack Ransom, Fred Tatasciore as Lieutenant Shaxs, and Gillian Vigman as Doctor T'Ana.

Creator Mike McMahan, known for his work on Rick and Morty and Solar Opposites, continues to lead the show's creative team. Season 4 promises an intriguing storyline as "an unknown force is destroying starships and threatening galactic peace." However, the crew of the U.S.S. Cerritos, known for their humorous misadventures, is once again not at the center of these epic events. Instead, they find themselves navigating their Starfleet duties, encountering new and classic aliens, and inevitably getting into some comical predicaments.
