Attention, Lower Deckers! The U.S.S. Cerritos is getting ready to dock in our homes one last time, and we’re not crying—you’re crying! (Okay, we're crying too.) Star Trek: Lower Decks – The Final Season, as well as Star Trek: Lower Decks – The Complete Series, is landing on Blu-ray and DVD March 25, and it’s bringing all the chaos, laughs, and heartfelt moments we’ve come to expect from our favorite underdog Starfleet crew.
With a solid 90% score on Rotten Tomatoes, this season proves once again why Lower Decks has become a beloved part of the Trekverse. It’s sharp, funny, and brimming with that irresistible mix of sci-fi hijinks and deeply relatable character moments we've come to expect over the past four-plus years.
So, What’s Season 5 All About?
Mariner, Boimler, Tendi, Rutherford, and T'Lyn are back (Science Besties!) are back—and somehow even busier than before. The Cerritos crew has been tasked with fixing "space potholes" (yes, really—subspace is falling apart, people!). But in true Lower Decks fashion, things spiral hilariously out of control. From a brewing Orion war to furious Klingons, a purple Enterprise-D, and good old Starfleet bureaucracy, our junior officers are once again trying to save the day while navigating their own career ambitions.
And let’s not forget the wild curveballs this show loves to throw. If you think you know where this season is going, think again. We think the penultimate episode of the series proved that.
What’s in the Box?
This 2-disc collection is packed with every episode from the final season, plus 25 glorious minutes of bonus content. We're talking exclusive commentaries and featurettes that dive into the making of the season. Ever wonder how the writers come up with those perfect one-liners? Or how they balance the comedy with the deep-cut Trek references? Now's your chance to find out.
Go Big with the Complete Series Steelbook
For the Steelbook collectors out there, the Star Trek: Lower Decks – The Complete Series Limited Edition Blu-ray Steelbook is dropping the same day. Not only does it include all five seasons, but you’ll also get an exclusive signed art card featuring the Lower Decks crew. Oh, and did we mention it’s packed with nearly 5 hours of bonus content? That’s right—hours of behind-the-scenes magic, featurettes, “Lower Decktionaries,” and commentary tracks that are sure to make you feel like part of the Cerritos family.
Why You Need This in Your Life
Lower Decks has always been more than just a parody of Star Trek. It’s a love letter to the franchise, filled with inside jokes, heartfelt character arcs, and a level of wit that has kept us coming back for more (and wanting another season!). Season 5 is the perfect send-off for a show that’s made us laugh, cry, and maybe shout “LOWER DECKS” at one too many conventions (you know who you are).
Whether you’re a long-time fan or someone who’s just hopped aboard the Cerritos, this release is a must-have. It’s the ultimate way to celebrate a show that’s truly earned its place in Trek history.
Stay tuned right here on Strange New Pod, because we’ve got something exciting in the works—a special giveaway you won’t want to miss. Details coming soon!
Until then, stock up on Romulan Ale, start rewatching the earlier seasons, and prepare yourself for one final adventure with the crew that always finds a way to boldly go... well, somewhere.
