Fresh off a live-action crossover in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, the crew of the USS Cerritos is back in their animated form for a chaotic new season of Lower Decks.

The animated comedy, which comes from former Rick & Morty scribe Mike McMahan, follows Beckett Mariner (Tawny Newsome) and Brad Boimler (Jack Quaid) as they get into all manner of galactic hijinks.

Actors Newsome and Quaid were able to capture the chaotic energy of their voice roles in a memorable guest spot on Strange New Worlds season 2, with the show’s regular cast revealing there was a lot of improv going on.

The crossover gave Lower Decks a more embedded position in the wider Star Trek canon, meaning there should be plenty of interest in what season 4 has in store. Here’s when you can expect episodes to drop:
