Star Trek: Lower Decks: Season One Is Coming to Blu-ray

Star Trek: Lower Decks comes to Blu-ray and DVD — with a standard release and limited edition steelbook — on May 18th. CBS Home Entertainment and Paramount Home Entertainment announced the Star Trek: Lower Decks: Season One collection on Tuesday. The release comes with hours of exclusive special features, including the “Lower Decktionary,” which looks at the show’s music, art design, animation process, and more. Other extras include interviews with the voice cast, deleted and extended scenes, and a deep dive into the series’ many Star Trek Easter eggs. With the second season of Star Trek: Lower Decks in production for Paramount+, this home media release will bring the show to a new audience and offer fans a new way to revisit the season.

Star Trek: Lower Decks is the first animated Star Trek series in more than 50 years and the franchise’s first foray into animated comedy. Emmy Award-winning creator Mike McMahan (Rick and Morty, Solar Opposites) and executive producer by Alex Kurtzman (Star Trek: Discovery, Star Trek: Picard) developed Lower decks. The show follows the support crew serving on one of Starfleet’s least significant ships, the USS Cerritos, in 2380.
