Collider Interviews | Strange New Worlds and Star Trek: Lower Decks Cast Crossover Interview at SDCC @ColliderInterviews | Uploaded August 2024 | Updated October 2024, 6 hours ago.
Last year, two of the best Star Trek shows came together to maximize their joint sci-fi slay with an epic crossover episode between the adult animated series Lower Decks and the episodic prequel series Strange New Worlds. However, because that episode dropped during the industry-wide writers and actors strikes, press for such a momentous fandom occasion was sadly limited. Now, by a stroke of luck and timing, Collider can bring you the first shared interview between these two casts. Last week at San Diego Comic-Con, Editor-in-Chief Steve Weintraub was chatting with the Lower Decks crew ahead of their final season, when their live-action pals from the Enterprise decided to crash the party for an epic joint interview.
During their 30-minute conversation, Weintraub spoke to both casts about filming the crossover episode, working with Jonathan Frakes, and how Tawny Newsome and Jack Quaid were largely responsible for bridging the tone between the two shows. They also discussed the final season of Lower Decks, which will feature an extended finale episode, and what changes they had to make when they learned Season 5 would be the show's last. Season 3 of Strange New Worlds was also a hot point of conversation as Weintraub asked how they plan to top a crossover and a musical in the coming episodes.
The cast also teased Frakes’ highly anticipated return to the director's chair, which he has called the best episode he’s ever directed, as well as the teaser footage which sees five crew members turned into Vulcans. You can read the full conversation with Strange New Worlds’ Ethan Peck, Rebecca Romijn, showrunners Akiva Goldsman and Henry Alonso Myers, and Lower Decks' Tawny Newsome, Jerry O’Connell, Noel Wells, and creator Mike McMahan in the transcript below or watch it in the video player above.
