Fans outside of the United States and Canada had to wait months for Star Trek: Lower Decks to make its way out of North America last season, as the animated series finally made its debut on Amazon’s Prime Video service in the UK and other regions in January 2021…
…and there’s reason to celebrate, as the serviced announced today (via StarTrek.com) that Season 2 of Star Trek: Lower Decks will be following right behind the North American release schedule beginning next month!
Lower Decks returns to Paramount+ in the United States, and CTV Sci Fi Channel in Canada, for its second season on August 12 — and those of you in Amazon Prime Video’s distribution regions only have to wait a few short hours, as the show will hit the streamer’s servers for access the next day.
Amazon Prime Video today announced that the second season of the fan-favorite animated series Star Trek: Lower Decks will premiere on Friday, August 13th in multiple territories around the world including Australia, New Zealand, Europe, Japan, India and more. The ten episode series will roll out weekly, with the season two finale dropping on Friday, October 15th.
This will finally align the show to the same international roll-out schedule that Star Trek: Discovery and Star Trek: Picard have both shared, as Netflix (for Discovery) and Prime (for Picard) have kept international fans up to date with each series — and thankfully, the trend will now continue for Lower Decks moving forward.
There’s still no word yet on international availability plans for either Star Trek: Prodigy (coming later this year) or Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (scheduled for a 2022 debut), but we still have time to sort out exactly how fans will be able to view each of those shows — hopefully, before their US debut.
