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.

I really enjoyed the live action cameos the two cast members did on SNW. Hopefully there will be more Trek work for them.

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.

Pretty gutted at this news, but as others have pointed out, this move may cement LD as a classic without outstaying their welcome. And hopefully there is a desire for more animated Trek now

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.

Replaced with Star Trek Upper Decks?

Well looks like I'll be filling unemployment 🖖 🤣

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.

Meanwhile, the adventures continue for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, which has been renewed for season 4.

At least there's that.

It's still surprising that Lower Decks ends so soon. It's well received and should be reasonably cheap to produce. Why would they axe it?

@billmason @startrek Such a shame. ☹️

@billmason @startrek nooooooooooooooooooo

Boo!

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.

Lower decks live action series? Pretty please?

Awww i love lower decks!

It's Marin-over.
