The annual tradition continues this October as Paramount+ plans to bring the next two big events in the Star Trek Universe to New York Comic Con.
Announced through Variety on Sunday, Star Trek: Lower Decks Season 5 and Star Trek: Section 31 will be the focus of the yearly Star Trek Universe panel on Saturday, October 19 — when the cast and creatives of each project take the stage at the Javits Center in New York City.
The panel will kick off at 2:30 PM with “cast and producers” of Lower Decks, where fans can expect a new trailer for the animated series’ final season which debuts October 24 on Paramount+. It’s not yet clear which cast members will be part of the on-stage discussion.
The second half of the 90-minute panel will focus on the upcoming Section 31 movie starring Michelle Yeoh. It’s likely that additional video from the film will be previewed, but beyond that the streamer hasn’t specified who will be present to represent the cast and production team.

The Paramount+ social media posts about the panel also tease “more exciting reveals and surprises for fans,” which probably means we’ll get something about the now-in-production Star Trek: Starfleet Academy series… and perhaps more.
