Like Star Trek: Discovery and Star Trek: Picard before it, the third new series to come out of the modern franchise production team — Star Trek: Lower Decks — will be heading to Canada by way of the same platforms: CTV Sci-Fi Channel and the Crave streaming service.

Announced today during CTV’s “Homefront” presentation — where the Canadian media group laid out its upcoming slate across all in-house networks — the company confirmed that the animated Lower Decks comedy will find an exclusive home on the CTV Sci-Fi Channel for television viewing, with the Crave streaming service landing the exclusive streaming rights for Canadian viewers.

First came Star Trek: Discovery. Then came Star Trek: Picard. Now, we’re getting a Star Trek series unlike anything we’ve seen before.

Earlier today, we announced that Star Trek: Lower Decks, the latest addition to the Trek canon, will be coming to CTV Sci-Fi Channel later this year.

Unlike Discovery and Picard, Lower Decks—set shortly after the events of Star Trek: Nemesis—is a half-hour comedy that focuses on the more lighthearted aspects of being a Starfleet crew member. Oh, and it’s also animated.

There’s still no word on where Star Trek fans outside of the US and Canada will get to watch the series when it debuts later this year, but as soon as there’s an announcement on the Lower Decks global distribution plan, you’ll hear it from us!
