Cole: How will the dynamic between Freeman and Beckett grow this season?

Lewis: Beckett Mariner showing up on the ship created a shift in Freeman’s workspace and after being exposed as her mother, it created a space for them to try and do better…[Neither one of the] characters want to always be at odds with each other, so this is an opportunity for things to change.

Cole: What alumni from “A Different World” would you love to see appear on this series?

Lewis: Rest his soul, but I would’ve loved to see Lou Myers appear on the show. I would’ve loved to see Mr. Gaines in the commissary on the Starship or running the Starship nightclub.

Lewis: The animation is mind-blowing in this series – from the soundtrack to the attention-to-detail. You’re going to see a lot of battles and interpersonal changes with the characters as they’re on a journey to find themselves. We’re starting to pull back more layers this season and it’s such a good time.

All aboard “Star Trek: Lower Decks” currently streaming on Paramount+ with new episodes airing every Thursday!
