Star Trek animated comedy series ordered from Rick and Morty writer
The 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 Swim’s sensation Rick and Morty. The 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 Starfleet’s least important ships.”
Someone is being ripped-off here.
I saw a series like this recently. Well, not the entire series (I didn’t like it). Maybe two episodes. It was low-budget and live-action and done for a streaming service.
While not set in the Star Trek universe, it was still that exact premise. I’ll be damned if I can recall the name of it now. I just wanted to forget it and it seems I have.
But it looks like someone tied into the TV Matrix also saw it and figured he could cash in …
Same-day update: Commenter unwiredben motivated me to find what I saw. It was Starship Icarus. See the first episode on YouTube. See the premise that’s being ripped off right here.

Are you thinking of Other Space which was streaming on Yahoo? https://m.imdb.com/title/tt4561950/
Nope. That was 2015. You made me get off my ass and search for it. It was Starship Icarus. See e1 here: https://youtu.be/PlhECygj-G4 And see the premise here: https://news.avclub.com/starship-icarus-shows-just-how-much-life-on-a-star-trek-1798273085 Yep. Star Strek: The Plagiarism!
