JULY 24, 2021 - We have come to know San Diego Comic-Con as the place where trailers for new seasons of our favorite shows are revealed. SDCC’s Comic-Con@Home was underway this weekend and the Star Trek Universe was there to fulfill our expectations.

As part of back-to-back panels on Friday, July 23rd with cast members, creators and producers from Star Trek: Prodigy and Star Trek: Lower Decks, the Lower Decks trailer promised lots of action and aliens old and new. From Mariner and her colleagues enjoying the view on a space walk (and being left behind as the U.S.S. Cerritos goes to warp)...to Mariner, again, ending up in the brig...the trailer is a rapid-fire ride through season two. We are treated to neon signage for Quark’s bar; the arrival of a new, Tamarian member of the crew; and encounters with Cardassians, Pakleds, and Nausicaans. Oh, and Tendi is eaten by a giant blob, but survives being, well, excreted. A dirty Boimler, meanwhile, crawls through a Jefferies tube to fix...something...while conversing with a talking Tom Paris commemorative dinner plate. Toward the end of the trailer, we see Mariner, Boimler, and Rutherford sneaking around some Ferengi doing Ferengi things, and finally Mariner suffering the consequences of disobeying mom, aka Captain Freeman, as she gets in the last word out the door in the hands of security.

To see the trailer and the Comic-Con@Home panel featuring voice actors Tawny Newsome, Jack Quaid, and Eugene Cordero, as well as series creator Mike McMahan, head over to the Comic-Con International YouTube channel.

And to catch up on season one of Lower Decks before season two starts on August 12, it is streaming now on Paramount+.
