It has been a few weeks since Paramount+ confirmed the August 25 premiere of Star Trek: Lower Decks in the US. Here in the UK and in international markets, the series is still a Prime Video exclusive and we have been waiting for news as to when the latest season would debut.
Now the streamer has confirmed it will follow the same pattern as previous seasons. Season three will debut new episodes weekly each Friday, the day after it streams in the US. That confirms the season 3 premiere for Friday 26 August, 2022.
Created by Emmy Award winner Mike McMahan (Rick and Morty, Solar Opposites), season three of Star Trek: Lower Decks challenges the U.S.S. Cerritos ensigns in (hilarious) ways they could never imagine, starting with a shocking resolution for season two’s epic cliff hanger finale.
The Starfleet crew residing in the “lower decks” of the U.S.S. Cerritos includes Ensign Beckett Mariner, voiced by Tawny Newsome; Ensign Brad Boimler, voiced by Jack Quaid; Ensign Tendi, voiced by Noël Wells; and Ensign Rutherford, voiced by Eugene Cordero. The Starfleet characters that comprise the U.S.S. Cerritos’ bridge crew include Captain Carol Freeman, voiced by Dawnn Lewis; Commander Jack Ransom, voiced by Jerry O’Connell; and Doctor T’Ana, voiced by Gillian Vigman.
In case you missed it, here’s the recently released US trailer for season 3:
