‘Star Trek: Lower Decks’ S2 Crash Lands on Blu-ray/DVD in July

Developed by award winning creator Mike McMahan (Rick and Morty, Solar Opposites), Season 2 of Star Trek: Lower Decks is bigger, funnier and Star Trekkier than ever before — and it’s charting a course for Blu-ray and DVD on July 12 from Paramount+, CBS Home Entertainment and Paramount Home Entertainment. The two-disc collection features over an hour of bonus content, including two exclusive featurettes.

Synopsis: As the support crew serving on one of Starfleet’s least important ships, the U.S.S. Cerritos, Ensigns Beckett Mariner (Tawny Newsome, Space Force), Brad Boimler (Jack Quaid, The Boys‘), Samanthan Rutherford (Eugene Cordero, Kong: Skull Island) and D’Vana Tendi (Noël Wells, Master of None) have to keep up with their duties and their social lives, while the ship is being rocked by a multitude of sci-fi anomalies. Season 2 follows their adventures as they deal with changes in group dynamics, chasing promotions, and tons of sci-fi missions.

Helming the ship is Captain Carol Freeman (Dawnn Lewis, The Rich & the Ruthless), alongside Commander Jack Ransom (Jerry O’Connell, Billions‘), Lieutenant Shaxs (Fred Tatasciore, American Dad!), Doctor T’Ana (Gillian Vigman, New Girl‘), Lieutenant Billups (Paul Scheer, The League) and Lieutenant Kayshon (Carl Tart, Jimmy Kimmel Live!).
