Five years after he took the helm of The Ready Room on Paramount+, the Star Trek Universe aftershow hosted by Next Gen alum Wil Wheaton has come to a conclusion.
 
Ready Room writer-producer Jake Black shared on BlueSky yesterday evening that today’s Star Trek: Lower Decks finale episode will cap the long-running behind-the-scenes interview show, which began when Wheaton took the job alongside the premiere of Star Trek: Discovery Season 3 back in early 2020.
 

The Ready Room with Wil Wheaton is the third Paramount+ Trek aftershow, following After Trek with Matt Mira (which ran along Discovery Season 1), and the first iteration of The Ready Room (hosted by Naomi Kyle for Discovery SeEason 2).

Today’s 16-minute episode focuses on the end of Lower Decks, with series leads Tawny Newsome (Mariner), Jack Quaid (Boimler), Noel Wells (Tendi), and Eugene Cordero (Rutherford) visiting the set to discuss the animated series’ finale and the legacy of Lower Decks.

 
Wheaton concluded the episode with a thanks to viewers:

“It really has been the joy of a lifetime celebrating the Star Trek universe with you. This latinum age of Star Trek has brought us so many wonderful characters and storylines, and there is so much more ahead. With Strange New Worlds, Section 31, and Starfleet Academy all on the horizon — and more adventures in the final frontier to come — Gene Roddenberry’s vision of an optimistic future has never been more necessary or brighter.

 

In the words of Captain Jean-Luc Picard, let’s see what’s out there.”
