To celebrate one month until Star Trek: Lower Decks season two premieres, Paramount+ has released a short teaser showing off a scene from the upcoming season.
New 15-second teaser
Please note: the video above may be geoblocked outside of the United States. We will update this article with an international version, when it becomes available.
Teaser breakdown
The opening frame of the 15-second teaser spotlights a Federation starbase. Docked at the station are a variety of ships, including what looks like the Cerritos, a couple Enterprise-era Andorian ships, a couple of Daedalus-class vessels, and another type of Starfleet ship not dissimilar from the Titan.
Inside the station, Boimler (Jack Quaid) and Mariner (Tawny Newsome) try to escape a pursuing police force through a shopping area. The pair drive through a collection of what Boimler calls “fish people,” more formally known as Antedians, as seen in The Next Generation episode “Manhunt.”
Both characters are wearing a white uniform with gold and red embroidery reminiscent of the uniforms seen in Star Trek: Insurrection. Flying out of their vehicle as they speed away are what appear to be Data action figures.
Star Trek: Lower Decks season two premieres on August 12. We checked out the recently released home media release for Lower Decks season one and came away with an even greater appreciation for the show than before.
The Lower Decks cast and crew — including Tawny Newsome, Jack Quaid and Eugene Cordero along with series creator Mike McMahan — are set to take part in the Star Trek Universe panel later this month as part of San Diego Comic Con@Home.

The Titan-esque ship I believe is a–possibly upgraded–Centaur-class starship (the one that Charlie Reynolds took into Dominion space to harass the Jem’Hadar fighter Sisko and crew nicked during “A Time to Stand”)
