Series creator Mike McMahan and executive producer Alex Kurtzman confirm the news in a touching tribute to the series and its fans:
To the fans,
We wanted to let you know that this fall will be the fifth and final season of Star Trek: Lower Decks. While five seasons of any series these days seems like a miracle, it’s no exaggeration to say that every second we've spent making this show has been a dream come true. Our incredible cast, crew and artists have given you everything they have because they love the characters they play, they love the world we've built, and more than anything we all love love love Star Trek. We’re excited for the world to see our hilarious fifth season which we're working on right now, and the good news is that all previous episodes will remain on Paramount+ so there is still so much to look forward to as we celebrate the Cerritos crew with a big send-off.
Finally, thank you for always being so creative and joyful, for filling convention halls and chanting 
LOWER DECKS!" We remain hopeful that even beyond Season 5, Mariner, Boimler, Tendi, Rutherford and the whole Cerritos crew will live on with new adventures.
LLAP
Mike McMahan and Alex Kurtzman

Watch s1 for free. Make it so.

Went back and binged the first few eps. Still funny. Perhaps even funnier now because I know and luv the characters more. This remains my favorite Trek now. It delivers the escapism and humor that I crave nowadays.

Still rewatching this. I’m maybe halfway thru s1. It still makes me happy. So satisfying. My current comfort show.

Tendi’s genetic experiment - The Dog - is still uproariously funny and I hope we get to see Section 14 and the Farm in live action someday. 

I’m on S1e7. Still luvin this show - the best of present day ST.

Finished s1 rewatch. Forgot about the Riker Troi cameo was fun. The origin of Badgey & Peanut Hamper is explained. Solid 1st season conclusion .

[Drunk Monk]

Started S2 rewatch. I’m astounded how much of this I’ve forgotten. Keeps it fresh tho. 

Memories don’t stick to me as well as they used to. It’s like my brain is full or I’ve just gotten lazy with internet access. Whatev. At least it makes this rewatch feel funny and fresh.

S2e9: One of the best eps yet. We get to see the lower decks on a Klingon ship and a Vulcan ship. Plus the first major starship battle of this show. Will a Vulcan join the crew next? Been hoping for an Edosian.

This is about as far as I’ve gotten with the rewatch. It remains one of my fav eps. 

The final season starts next week. Not going to get through the previous seasons in time but oh well…

I got through S1&2, skipped 3 and watched the finale double ep of 4 just now. I’m ready for the final frontier season. Tomorrow the season premiere is a double ep, and e2 looks like it’ll be about Tendi & Orion. LD has expanded Orion lore, elevated it from the sex kitten caricature that it’s been previously.

The final season

E1 was a rift to a parallel Cerritos but one that was only deviant by like .03%. The alternate Mariner was hilarious, complete with riding crop (a reference to an earlier ep when Captain Freeman got offered another command.
E2 was Tendi resolving her Orion issues and returning to the Cerritos. Swordfights! Because lots of ST aliens still use bladed cold weapons. Meanwhile another planet develops replicators and abolishes capitalism which was weirdly funny and timely. It’s something that the entire franchise grappled with but how the transition went has never been explored until now. It was a funny concept.

A strong season opener but no allusion to this being the end yet…
