Star Trek: Lower Decks’ SDCC 2021 Trailer Sets Phasers to Fun

Star Trek: Lower Decks was one in all our shock favorites final yr, and it’s again and searching higher than ever for spherical two. And meaning extra jokes, extra delectably foolish references to Trek’s previous, and extra earnest Starfleet vibes than you possibly can wave an accidentally-set-to-disintegrate phaser at.

Dropping in on Star Trek’s animation-focused San Diego Comic-Con @ Home 2021 panel immediately alongside Star Trek: Prodigy, the brand new trailer for the quickly incoming season units the stage for what’s to return within the wake of final season’s climactic established order shift. After Captain Riker and the usS. Titan got here to rescue the Cerritos from a nasty encounter with the Pakleds on the finish of season one, Boimler discovered himself scouted by Riker for a promotion, which might imply a transfer aboard the Titan. Choosing to not inform anybody, the ensign-turned-lieutenant left his buddies behind seemingly for good—and a lot to the fury of Mariner, who’d spent the entire episode studying how a lot she valued being aboard the Cerritos and amongst her buddies.

It looks like we gained’t have to attend too lengthy to see Mariner, Tendi, and Rutherford (who’s nonetheless affected by the amnesia he was bothered with in season one’s climax because of his head implant being ripped out) reunite with Boimler at the least. And that Boimler’s going to be taught in a short time simply how annoying being on a “hero” ship just like the Titan, particularly beneath the command of somebody like Will Riker, might be. But there’s a lot extra happening right here—the arrival of the Cerritos’ new Tamarian safety chief, tussles with the Cardassians, Ferengi, and possibly even the Borg, and, maybe most delightfully, Boimler hallucinating a chat with a licensed Tom Paris Star Trek: Voyager plate, voiced by none aside from Robert Duncan McNeill himself.

Star Trek: Lower Decks returns for its second season in a number of weeks, arriving on Paramount+ beginning August 12.
