The second-ever Star Trek animated series, Star Trek: Lower Decks, is premiering on August 6th, 2020, according to a poster released by CBS All Access.
The poster features the caption “Rarely going where no one has gone before,” and features the U.S.S. Cerritos, one of Starfleet’s “least important ships.” Also on the poster are the show’s main characters, including Ensign Beckett Mariner (Tawny Newsome), Ensign Brad Boimler (Jack Quaid), Ensign Tendi (Noel Wells), and Ensign Rutherford (Eugene Cordero).
