Of all the new series, Lower Decks has been perhaps the most consistent - seasons 1-3 premiered in August, while season four premiered in early September.

This pattern may or may not hold.

@ValueSubtracted Is the Friday Night Death Slot still a thing? Because it's right around this point Star Trek series usually get shuffled into the Friday Night Death Slot.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard of that being relevant to streaming shows.

Since the only country in which LD airs on tv is Canada, and it streams there as well, I doubt it’s a factor.

Writers strike likely affected scripts…

Not to mention SAG-AFTRA strike still ongoing…

So I imagine it will push back season 5 by some months, possibly til 2025

Animated television writers are in another guild, one that signed a new contract over a year ago. Neither the WGA or SAG-ACTRA strikes have impacted them.

Thanks, didn’t know that

I thought I read that voice actors joined the SAG strike, so that complicated things

That poster is wrong I’m afraid. Though not every job in animation was impacted (some were non-union, some accepted the interim agreements) Lower Decks definitely was. The cast is all SAG and all struck.

SAG-AFTRA’s strike definitely impacted voice work. Non-guild work exists, and wasn’t impacted, but the main cast of LD are all SAG and have mostly hit the picket line too.
