STAR TREK: LOWER DECKS: CBS All Access Orders New Animated Comedy Series

October 25, 2018 by  

The STAR TREK universe is expanding—again!—at CBS All Access. The streaming platform has ordered STAR TREK: LOWER DECKS, a half-hour animated comedy series, which will “focus on the support crew serving on one of Starfleet’s least important ships.” The series, which has a two-year order so far, was created by Mike McMahan.

“Mike won our hearts with his first sentence: ‘I want to do a show about the people who put the yellow cartridge in the food replicator so a banana can come out the other end,’” said executive producer Alex Kurtzman in a statement. “His cat’s name is Riker. His son’s name is Sagan. The man is committed. He’s brilliantly funny and knows every inch of every TREK episode, and that’s his secret sauce: he writes with the pure, joyful heart of a true fan. As we broaden the world of TREK to fans of all ages, we’re so excited to include Mike’s extraordinary voice.”

“As a life-long Trekkie, it’s a surreal and wonderful dream come true to be a part of this new era of STAR TREK,” said McMahan. “While STAR TREK: LOWER DECKS is a half-hour, animated show at its core, it’s undeniably TREK – and I promise not to add an episode at the very end that reveals the whole thing took place in a training program.”

“We couldn’t have imagined a better creative team to work with on CBS All Access’ first original animated series than Mike McMahan, Secret Hideout and Roddenberry Entertainment,” said Julie McNamara, Executive Vice President, Original Content, CBS All Access. “STAR TREK: LOWER DECKS is a fantastic complement to our growing lineup of original series and our ongoing expansion of the STAR TREK universe on CBS All Access.”
