Does anyone know when the new season starts?

    Of all the new series, Lower Decks has been perhaps the most consistent - seasons 1-3 premiered in August, while season four premiered in early September.

    This pattern may or may not hold.

      Writers strike likely affected scripts…

      Not to mention SAG-AFTRA strike still ongoing…

      So I imagine it will push back season 5 by some months, possibly til 2025

        Animated television writers are in another guild, one that signed a new contract over a year ago. Neither the WGA or SAG-ACTRA strikes have impacted them.

          Thanks, didn’t know that

          I thought I read that voice actors joined the SAG strike, so that complicated things

            That poster is wrong I’m afraid. Though not every job in animation was impacted (some were non-union, some accepted the interim agreements) Lower Decks definitely was. The cast is all SAG and all struck.

          SAG-AFTRA’s strike definitely impacted voice work. Non-guild work exists, and wasn’t impacted, but the main cast of LD are all SAG and have mostly hit the picket line too.

        I don’t think I’ve ever heard of that being relevant to streaming shows.

        Since the only country in which LD airs on tv is Canada, and it streams there as well, I doubt it’s a factor.
