PCHH - In 'Star Trek: Lower Decks' Jokes Are The Final Frontier

In 'Star Trek: Lower Decks' Jokes Are The Final Frontier


Ensign Sam Rutherford (Eugene Cordero), Ensign D'Vana Tendi (Noel Wells), Ensign Beckett Mariner (Tawny Newsome), and Ensign Brad Boimler (Jack Quaid) in the new CBS All Access animated series Star Trek: Lower Decks.

CBS All Access

The mega-franchise Star Trek has produced a slew of movies and ten different TV series — the latest of which is a brand-new animated comedy called Star Trek: Lower Decks. The show was created by Mike McMahan, who worked on Rick And Morty, and it tells the story of some of the least powerful officers on Starfleet's least important starship, the U.S.S. Cerritos. In Star Trek: Lower Decks, we get a group of young oddballs and hotshot senior officers, with a cast that includes Tawny Newsome, Jack Quaid, Noel Wells, Eugene Cordero, Dawnn Lewis, and Jerry O'Connell. And, because it's animated, we also get epic battles, space zombies, and spectacular mass destruction.

Show Notes:

Note: We will be covering Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra in two separate upcoming episodes — and we want your questions about each series! If you have a question, email us a voice memo at pchh@npr.org.

The audio was produced and edited by Mike Katzif and Jessica Reedy.
