Star Trek: Decrease Decks is technically over, however that does not imply it may by no means come again. Very similar to the unique Star Trek and, extra not too long ago, Prodigy, fan efforts can save a canceled sequence and provides it new life, no matter which will appear to be. Creator Mike McMahan confirmed to CinemaBlend that he has loads of concepts for that if Paramount+ or others have an interest, however has a plea for followers who need to do no matter to assist make it occur.
As followers put together for the 2025 TV schedule and all of the upcoming Trek reveals on the best way, Mike McMahan needs the celebration of Decrease Decks to proceed. Streaming the present with a Paramount+ subscription is all the time useful, however the showrunner had some concepts for all of the issues followers ought to and should not do in the event that they need to see extra adventures with the crew after the finale:
I wanna do extra seasons of Decrease Decks. I wanna do a live-action spin off. I wanna do large animated motion pictures. I’ve concepts for all of it. What I would like the fandom to do is be respectful and be joyous. You get a present picked up as a result of the fandom is roaring with enthusiasm and love, not once they’re saying, ‘Fuck whoever canceled this,’ or, ‘You owe us extra of this.’ I can go and make a case for extra if I’ve stacks of posts and other people sitting down and writing a private letter to anyone at Paramount+ or CBS, I do not assume folks try this anymore. If all people did that like they did to save lots of Star Trek the primary time, there is no assure, if I am going in and go, ‘Man, I might like to do it, and it looks as if the fandom would adore it too. Would not you guys appear to be heroes if we choose this up once more?’ Versus being just like the fandom says they’re gonna hit you with their automobile except you do it. That does not make them choose up the present. That makes them not choose up the present and never stroll down the road.
As somebody who has been across the Star Trek fandom on social media since its large return, I’ve to emphasise Mike McMahan’s level about minimizing negativity. When Star Trek: Discovery was canceled, in addition to when Paramount did not appear fascinated with doing a Star Trek: Picard follow-up, folks had been way more prepared to flood tasks with refusals to look at new content material on account of not giving them what they needed. If Mike McMahan says these efforts harm the franchise greater than assist it, imagine him.
With Star Trek: Decrease Decks formally canonizing a number of universes within the lore, there’s loads of potential for extra adventures and visitor stars like Jolene Blalock to return. Mike McMahan confirmed to CinemaBlend that he is open to returning to Paramount with extra concepts and continued on with saying all of the methods the followers might assist him together with his pitches:
I really like our fandom. I actually wanna do extra and if anyone’s trying to assist out write a postcard, you recognize what I imply? Rejoice on-line and get extra folks to look at it. Purchase the DVDs. Do the issues that everyone knows deep down inform the individuals who maintain the wallets on this trade what to do.
Cash makes the world go spherical, and if individuals are spending cash on Star Trek: Decrease Decks merchandise and exhibiting there’s an urge for food for extra, it’ll go far with executives when somebody pitches extra adventures. In brief, it is as soon as once more on the followers to show that this present is value saving and never only a handful of diehards doing many of the legwork. Hopefully we are able to all rise to the problem and produce again the beloved animated sequence.
As for what Star Trek does have on faucet for 2025, the discharge of the Part 31 film comes on January twenty fourth. We additionally know that Unusual New Worlds will return for Season 3 in some unspecified time in the future this 12 months, and that the brand new Starfleet Academy sequence is on tempo for a 2026 arrival. There’s additionally a Star Trek origin film coming to the massive display, and whereas it isn’t a fourth installment within the Kelvin universe, it will be nice to see the franchise again in theaters once more. If it is a hit, perhaps the Decrease Decks film will likely be greenlit?
We will solely cross our fingers and perhaps ship a postcard to the nice folks at Paramount+. Proceed to stream Star Trek: Decrease Decks within the meantime to assist assist the sequence and assist Mike McMahan construct a case for doing extra adventures.
