The fifth and final season of Star Trek: Lower Decks beams down to Paramount+ with a two-episode premiere on Thursday, but ahead of the show’s October 24 return, the cast hit the New York Comic Con stage.
Saturday in New York City, series showrunner Mike McMahan was joined by stars Eugene Cordero (Rutherford), Noel Wells (Tendi), Jack Quaid (Boimler), and Tawny Newsome (Mariner) — all in the same place together, if you can believe it, for the very first time! — to talk about the concluding year of USS Cerritos adventures.

Ahead of their panel, however, the lucky fans in attendance got to watch the entire Season 5 premiere — titled “Dos Cerritos” — before Thursday’s global release. For those of you who weren’t at the convention, Paramount+ has made this preview clip available to whet your appetite… where the Cerritos crew encounters an alternate-reality version of themselves.
The Lower Decks also unveiled the third and final key art poster for the show’s final season — which makes three designs for Season 5 — this time the expected Star Trek V: The Final Frontier key art homage.
All three designs for Lower Decks’ Season 5 posters come from artist Matt Ferguson, who last week also unveiled his Star Trek V “Seatbelts” homage poster ahead of Lower Decks’ return.
You can find full-resolution downloads of all Star Trek: Lower Decks Season 5 posters in our series gallery.
The fifth and final season of Star Trek: Lower Decks will premiere its first two episodes October 24 on Paramount+.
