he first-ever official Star Trek comedy series has been ordered.

CBS All Access has greenlit an animated series from Emmy-winner Mike McMahan, a writer on Adult Swims sensation Rick and MortyThe half-hour series is titled Star Trek: Lower Decks and will tackle the Federation from a comedic perspective, focusing on the support crew serving on one of Starfleets least important ships.

Mike won our hearts with his first sentence: I want to do a show about the people who put the yellow cartridge in the food replicator so a banana can come out the other end,' said executive producer Alex Kurtzman. [McMahans] cats name is Riker. His sons name is Sagan. The man is committed. Hes brilliantly funny and knows every inch of every Trek episode, and thats his secret sauce: he writes with the pure, joyful heart of a true fan. As we broaden the world of Trek to fans of all ages, were so excited to include Mikes extraordinary voice.

Added McMahan: As a life-long Trekkie, its a surreal and wonderful dream come true to be a part of this new era of Star Trek. While Star Trek: Lower Decks is a half-hour, animated show at its core, its undeniably Trek and I promise not to add an episode at the very end that reveals the whole thing took place in a training program.

Fans will recognize the Lower Decks title as referencing the name of one of the best episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation. In 2011, McMahan started a Twitter account posting fake TGN plots, then scored a book deal to turn his tweets into Star Trek: The Next Generation: Warped: An Engaging Guide to the Never-Aired 8th Season.

The new project will bring to mind Foxs The Orville, a dramedy from Family Guys Seth MacFarlane which is clearly inspired by Trek.

This will be good!

hmm... we already have The Orville (and Galaxy Quest), do we really need a funny Star Trek series?

And will it be canon?

Honestly, if It was basically the office but animated and star trek, it might work.
