Well hell.

As disappointing as it is to see it end, 5 seasons is a decent run, and I’d rather it end before they “jump the shark” or just fizzle out.
Agreed, even as a huge fan of LD I could personally sense it being more difficult to write more stories for our lowly stalwarts of Starfleet in season 4. Better to be able to end still chanting “Lower Decks! Lower Decks! Lower Decks!”
I don’t know. We only got like 10 x 25 minutes episodes per season. That’s not a lot of content.
The world couldn’t handle a full 7 seasons of LD
“While five seasons of any series these days seems like a miracle, it’s no exaggeration to say that every second we’ve spent making this show has been a dream come true.”
Indeed, if even an animated series is ending after five seasons, I expect this to be a pretty firm maximum moving forward.
“We remain hopeful that even beyond Season 5, Mariner, Boimler, Tendi, Rutherford and the whole Cerritos crew will live on with new adventures,”
That’s encouraging.
They probably mean comic books.

Dammit. This will leave SNW as the only Trek series? I like SNW a lot but two series would be nice given how short seasons are nowadays.
Prodigy soldiers on for now, and Starfleet Academy is in pre-production, set to start filming this summer.
Paramount doesn’t even want Prodigy on their own streaming service, I have no idea what they’re doing with the franchise…
Apparently, the numbers on P+ weren’t good - the Hagemans themselves have said so.
To be honest, if Paramount slowly decides that they’re better off selling their shows to other streamers… I’m not totally against it, depending on how it’s done.
Well looks like I’ll be filling unemployment 🖖 🤣
That’s sad. While I didn’t enjoy every aspect of it, I quite enjoyed it overall. I’m happy to hear season 3 isn’t supposed to be the last for SNW though.
@billmason @startrek Such a shame. ☹️
@billmason @startrek nooooooooooooooooooo
Oh no.
Edit: In case I’m coming across sarcastic, I’m not. I loved LD probably the most of the new batch of Star Trek shows. It was just a joy to watch.
Boo!
It’s Marin-over.
Lower decks live action series? Pretty please?
Awww i love lower decks!
