Star Trek: Lower Decks

Paramount+ this weekend debuted the teaser trailer and key art for Season 3 of its hit half-hour animated comedy Star Trek: Lower Decks. The reveal came during a series panel at Star Trek: Mission Chicago on Saturday. The third season will blas off on streaming later this year, exclusively on Paramount+ in the U.S.

Created by Emmy Award winner Mike McMahan (Rick and Morty, Solar Opposites), S3 challenges the U.S.S. Cerritos ensigns in (hilarious) ways they could never imagine, starting with a shocking resolution for season two’s epic cliffhanger finale. The Starfleet crew residing in the “lower decks” includes Ensign Beckett Mariner (Tawny Newsome), Ensign Brad Boimler (Jack Quaid), Ensign Tendi (Noël Wells) and Ensign Rutherford (Eugene Cordero). The bridge crew includes Captain Carol Freeman (Dawnn Lewis), Commander Jack Ransom (Jerry O’Connell) and Doctor T’Ana (Gillian Vigman).

 

Casper the Friendly Ghost is the latest light-hearted comics hero to get a darker TV treatment, with Peacock announcing a new live-action horror-adventure series in development. Written and executive produced by Kai Yu Wu (The Ghost Bride), Casper reimagines the origins of Harvey Comics’ huggable haunt in a high school setting, caught up in a web of dark secrets buried for over a century when a new family arrives in the small town of Eternal Falls.

Casper

The project is produced by UCP, a division of Universal Studio Group, and NBCUniversal’s DreamWorks Animation, which owns the Harvey Comics catalog through its DreamWorks Classics label. Casper first appeared in comics in 1936 and quickly materialized on screen in 55 theatrical cartoons (1945-59). Harvey Comics acquired the character in 1952, and he has since featured in numerous print titles, five animated series (most recently Casper’s Scare School) as well as the 1995 live-action movie directed by Brad Silberling.
