Each show will produce 10 new episodes. The announcements come as Star Trek: Picard is airing its final season and Star Trek: Discovery will end with its fifth season next year.
Strange New Worlds spun off from Discovery. The series follows the Enterprise crew on the missions prior to Captain Kirk's in the Original Series, with Pike (Anson Mount), Spock (Ethan Peck) and Number One (Rebecca Romijn).
Paul Wesley joins Strange New Worlds in Season 2 as young James T. Kirk. Original Star Trek character Uhura (Celia Rose Gooding) is also onboard.
The animated Lower Decks is a more comedic take on the starship Cerritos. It features the voices of Jack Quaid, Tawny Newsome, Noel Wells, Gillian Vigman, Eugene Cordero, Dawnn Lewis, Fred Tatasciore and Romijn's husband, Jerry O'Connell.
