Everything Star Trek Revealed at San Diego Comic-Con 2024

Star Trek beamed down to San Diego for another exciting SDCC. Whether you were with us for an away team mission or busy on Shore Leave, here's a recap highlighting our top moments coming out of and around the con this year!

Cillian O'Sullivan Joins Star Trek: Strange New Worlds as Dr. Roger Korby

Cillian O'Sullivan (In From The Cold) will play the legacy role of Dr. Roger Korby, a character first introduced in Star Trek: The Original Series and portrayed by Michael Strong. O'Sullivan will be a recurring guest star in the upcoming season.

In addition to the O'Sullivan's casting announcement, fans in Hall H were treated to an extended clip from the upcoming third season of Strange New Worlds.

Star Trek: Lower Decks Season 5 Will Premiere with Two Episodes on October 24

It was also announced that the fifth and final season will premiere on Paramount+ with two episodes on Thursday, October 24, in the U.S. and internationally. Following the premiere, new episodes of the 10-episode long season will drop every Thursday on the service leading up to the series finale on Thursday, December 19.

In Season 5 of Star Trek: Lower Decks, the crew of the U.S.S. Cerritos is tasked with closing "space potholes" — subspace rifts which are causing chaos in the Alpha Quadrant. Pothole duty would be easy for Jr. Officers Mariner, Boimler, Tendi and Rutherford... if they didn’t also have to deal with an Orion war, furious Klingons, diplomatic catastrophes, murder mysteries and scariest of all — their own career aspirations. This upcoming season is a celebration of this underdog crew who are dangerously close to being promoted out of the lower decks and into strange new Starfleet roles. Take a look at the teaser trailer below!
