Adult Animated “Star Trek” Series Announced


Following on from “Star Trek: Discovery” and the in the works Jean-Luc Picard series, CBS All Access has handed out a two-season order for “Star Trek: Lower Decks,” a half-hour adult animated comedy series from “Rick and Morty” head writer and executive producer Mike McMahan.

The series will focus on the support crew serving on one of Starfleet’s least important ships with McMahan’s pitched reportedly beginning with the 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.”

The series will mark CBS All Access’ first original animated series and the first project of recently launched CBS Eye Animation Productions. McMahan is a long-time “Star Trek” fan and will executive produce alongside Alex Kurtzman, Heather Kadin, Katie Krentz, Rod Roddenberry and Trevor Roth.

In 2011, McMahan started a Twitter account and posted episode plots for a fake eighth season of “Star Trek: The Next Generation” – they proved such a hit Simon & Schuster hired him to write a readers’ guide to a fictitious eighth season. He’s also a writer on the recently launched “Star Trek: Short Treks” series of live-action shorts.

Please god, make this crap stop.

Listen, and understand. Those bastardised franchises are out there. They can’t be bargained with. They can’t be reasoned with. They don’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And they absolutely will not stop, ever, until we are all dead.

and animated cat crew members are soooo 1970's - just without being anywhere near as good as back then........

That was my first thought...

I've never been fond of making an animated version of a live-action film or TV series - or vice versa - but at least it looked like they put some effort into STAR TREK: THE ANIMATED SERIES.

Whatever this latest crap is, they can shove it right up their animated arsehole.

And you quote from a franchise that hasn't made a decent film or TV series in 16 years...

That's even longer than the last time we got half-decent STAR TREK.

Mike McMahan Gives A ‘Star Trek: Lower Decks’ Update, Explains How It Fits Into Canon

He also gives an update on the show's current production status.

trekmovie.com

Within Lower Decks, there is a proper in-canon Star Trek show. It takes place during the TNG era. It’s on a ship that feels like it’s always existed there and the bridge crew is dealing with big, never-before-seen Starfleet Star Trek-type stories. So every episode has a thing like that happening in it. And then, on top of that, we’ve got A stories and B stories that are emotionally driven from the point of view of the lower deckers on the ships. So it was an area of storytelling that people had covered every once in a while on Star Trek, but never built a show around.
It was important to me that if you know everything about Star Trek and you watch this show then it fits into canon and doesn’t break Star Trek. In fact, it grows it. And if you know nothing about Star Trek, then all of the canon in Lower Decks feels like mythological, broad understandable sci-fi stuff. So you can still enjoy Lower Decks even if it’s your first Star Trek show.

I can’t give you a specific answer on when that’s coming out, but we’re still working on it and we’re on track for when we have planned, which is this year. Animation is kind of uniquely suited for this moment. We didn’t shut down production. Safely recording the cast was really our biggest challenge because we don’t want them leaving their houses. So getting remote setups and stuff was something we had to solve, but it seems like we have.

Star Trek: Lower Decks

CBS All Access has announced a Thursday, August 6th premiere date for their first ever adult-animated series titled “Star Trek: Lower Decks”.

Hailing from “Solar Opposites” co-creator Mike McMahan, the series features the voices of Tawny Newsom and Jack Quaid and will follow the story of the support crew serving on one of Starfleet’s least important ships, the U.S.S. Cerritos, in 2380.
Ensigns Mariner, Boimler, Rutherford and Tendi have to keep up with their duties and their social lives, often while the ship is being rocked by a multitude of sci-fi anomalies.

Up until now I have been very much like Hudson in ALIENS in regard to this animated series:

"This shit can't be happening man! It can't be happening!"

Tragically, it seems that it is happening though.
