Star Trek: ‘Picard’ & ‘Lower Decks’ To Air In The UK On Paramount+ & Prime Video
Good news for ‘Star Trek’ fans. You’ll now have a choice of where to watch both ‘Star Trek: Picard‘ and ‘Star Trek: Lower Decks‘, as Paramount+ strikes a deal with Prime Video to share both shows.
Both Trek series will be joining the service’s international streaming catalogue (outside Canada), as part of a new deal with Prime Video. The third and final season of ‘Star Trek: Picard’ will premiere on 17th February in the UK, Australia, Italy, France, Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Previous seasons of ‘Star Trek: Picard’ will also be available in English-speaking regions starting this February.
The series features Patrick Stewart reprising his iconic role as Jean-Luc Picard, which he played for seven seasons on ‘Star Trek: The Next Generation’, and follows this iconic character into the next chapter of his life. LeVar Burton, Michael Dorn, Jonathan Frakes, Gates McFadden, Marina Sirtis, Brent Spiner, Jeri Ryan and Michelle Hurd star alongside Patrick Stewart.
All seasons of ‘Star Trek: Lower Decks’ will be available to stream on Paramount+ later this year across all markets outside Canada. Season 4 is expected to premiere around Summer 2023 on Prime Video and Paramount+ in the UK.
The animated series focuses on the support crew serving on one of Starfleet’s least important ships, the U.S.S. Cerritos, in 2380. The crew have to keep up with their duties and their social lives, often while the ship is being rocked by a multitude of sci-fi anomalies. The Starfleet crew residing in the “lower decks” of the U.S.S. Cerritos includes Ensign Beckett Mariner, voiced by Tawny Newsome; Ensign Brad Boimler, voiced by Jack Quaid; Ensign Tendi, voiced by Noël Wells; and Ensign Rutherford, voiced by Eugene Cordero. The Starfleet characters that comprise the U.S.S. Cerritos’ bridge crew include Captain Carol Freeman, voiced by Dawnn Lewis; Commander Jack Ransom, voiced by Jerry O’Connell; and Doctor T’Ana, voiced by Gillian Vigman.
This means that Paramount+ will now be home to every series and every episode of the full catalogue of “Star Trek.” This includes all seasons of the Paramount+ original series STAR TREK: DISCOVERY, STAR TREK: PICARD, the animated series STAR TREK: LOWER DECKS and STAR TREK: PRODIGY, and the newest addition STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS.
The 3rd and final season of ‘Star Trek: Picard‘ premieres Friday, 17th February 2023 on Paramount+ and Prime Video in the UK. ‘Star Trek: Lower Decks‘ Season 4 airs later in the year on both streaming services. If you want to keep track of this or any other shows, you can add them via our Never Miss system, and you’ll be notified when they get a UK premiere date.
