According to Comicbook, actor Jack Quaid (The Boys, My Adventures with Superman) hopes that the animated series Star Trek: Lower Decks finds new home after Paramount+’s Cancellation of the series. The series is finishing its fifth and final season on the streaming platform, which will air this fall.
Quaid who, plays Brad Boimler in Star Trek: Lower Decks, has been with the series since the star and has even been seen in other Star Trek series, such as Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, and Star Trek: Discovery Logs. After the news, he took to social media to share his feelings and hopes for the series to find a new home.
Quaid said in an Instagram post, “I’m so sad to announce that Paramount Plus won’t be moving forward with more seasons of Lower Decks. I can’t begin to tell you what an honor it’s been to be a part of this show and the Star Trek universe at large. I am unbelievably grateful for five awesome seasons with this wonderful family.”
He added, “I want to thank each and every person who put so much of their hard work and talent into every episode. You are AMAZING. The good news is that everyone who makes Lower Decks LOVES making Lower Decks. I could play Boimler for 17 more seasons. No joke. I’m serious. I love that purple-haired nerd. Hopefully we find a new home, but until then please look forward to an amazing season five (airing this fall).

According to Comicbook, creators Alex Kurtzman (Sleepy Hollow) and Mike McMahan (Rick and Morty) made a statement on the Star Trek Website. The statement reads as follows, “While five seasons of any series these days seems like a miracle, it’s no exaggeration to say that every second we’ve spent making this show has been a dream come true. Our incredible cast, crew and artists have given you everything they have because they love the characters they play, they love the world we’ve built, and more than anything we all love love love Star Trek.”
The statement continues, “We’re excited for the world to see our hilarious fifth season which we’re working on right now, and the good news is that all previous episodes will remain on Paramount+ so there is still so much to look forward to as we celebrate the Cerritos crew with a big send-off. … We remain hopeful that even beyond season five, Mariner, Boimler, Tendi, Rutherford and the whole Cerritos crew will live on with new adventures.”
All seasons of Star Trek: Lower Decks are available to stream on Paramount+.
