The cast of Lower Decks is reuniting for one of the funniest shows on TV
We’re not done yet end of Star Trek: The Lower Decks and frankly, we may never be. Every Star Trek fan loves Lower Decks. Well, at least all of us here at /Film do — I can’t speak for those weirdos who hate fun or are allergic to animation. The fans have become extremely attached to the cast and their voices are now echoing in the dark corners of our brains. Every time I rewatch Craig of the Creek (another show ending too soon), I feel my heart break a little every time Noel Wells’ voice when Kelsey starts sounding like her Lower Decks character, Ensign D’Van Tandy. I’m just not ready to accept that it’s really over.
Fortunately, it’s not like all of these beloved artists are being launched from the airlock and forced to orbit space from now until eternity, and we’ll see them all again, albeit in different projects. For example, Jack Quaid, who voices Brad Beumler, has yet to film the final season of The Boys in addition to the countless genre films in which he stars as future “Satellite”. But in the best news, four of the voice cast: Noelle Wells (D’Vana Tandy), Tony Newsom (Beckett Mariner), Eugene Cordero (Sam Rutherford) and Gillian Wiegman (Commander T’Anna MD) are all reuniting in the season finale of “Dirty Laundry,” a conversational guessing game on Dropout.
It’s a must-see for Lower Decks fans who aren’t ready to say goodbye, and anyone who wants to know more about their favorite voice artists than they ever imagined.
Become a regular at Dirty Laundry
Dirty Laundry was originally an episode of Game Changer, one of the flagship programs on streaming platform Dropout. It’s basically an extended version of the Never Have I Ever drinking game, where host Lily Doo reads a secret submitted by one of the players and the group must figure out who owns the secret and who’s responsible because the secret avoids suspicion. Whoever is behind the secret must reveal themselves by taking a sip of a cocktail (or soft drink) provided by bartender Grant O’Brien and tell the story behind it.
Sometimes the secrets are silly, like when comedian, actress, and writer Amy Vorpal admitted that she somehow dated three different musicians; other times it’s a startling revelation, like Dropout’s director of development Paul Rabolin admitting he was once mistaken for an Uber and still drove the stranger home (which was also featured on This American Life), or when comedian Ryan Creamer peed on a date because he didn’t want to seem weird for going to the bathroom too often.
That’s all we have to say no idea what mind-blowing secrets the Lower Decks team will uncover, and it’s in the best interest of Star Trek fans to watch. The season finale of “Dirty Laundry” premieres on the streaming platform Dropout, or Dropout.tv if you’re using a browser, on January 14th at 4pm PST/7pm EST. If you’re not already a Dropout subscriber, I also have a handy breakdown of why you absolutely should beLower Decks reunion or not.
