    Well, it certainly isn't "Star Trek". It looks more like "Red Dwarf"
    with the comedy (or what passes for it) ramped even further than "The
    Orville". :-\

    "We're not really elite - we're more like the cool, scrappy
    underdogs," explains lower-deck Ensign Mariner in the trailer.

    "We live on a spaceship, nobody is dying from a spear wound!" she
    exclaims in the midst of some onboard mayhem.

    The 10-episode series, which has already been renewed for a second
    season, is the first animated "Star Trek" series in more than
    45 years. "Star Trek: The Animated Series" had a brief run starting
    in 1973.

    CBS All Access subscribers can watch the show each week on
    Thursdays starting Aug. 6 on the digital subscription video
    on-demand and live streaming service,

    "Rick and Morty" veteran Mike McMahan developed "Star Trek: Lower
    Decks," which focuses on the support crew that lives in the bowels
    at the very bottom of the U.S.S. Cerritos - known as one of the
    Starfleet's least important ships - in the year 2380.

    The Starfleet lower decks crew includes Ensign Beckett Mariner,
    voiced by Tawny Newsome, Ensign Brad Boimler, voiced by Jack Quaid,
    Ensign Tendi, voiced by No�l Wells and Ensign Rutherford, voiced by
    Eugene Cordero.

    It's the first animated series in CBS All Access' "Star Trek"
    franchise, which also includes "Star Trek: Picard," "Star Trek:
    Discovery" and the recently-announced "Star Trek: Strange New
    Worlds."

    Also coming up are a Section 31-based series with Michelle Yeoh and
    a CG-animated "Star Trek" series for younger audiences in the works
    at Nickelodeon.
